Mac OSX Leopard Skins/Themes

Black · Nov 20th, 2009, 02:37 AM

Hey I was looking for some skins/themes for my desktop/program windows and I came across the site InterfaceLIFT: Wallpaper sorted by Date but they don't seem to have anything downloadable for a leopard user. The program that runs the guikit.s called Shapeshifter doesn't even work on Leopard so...

Do any of you guys know of a site where I can download some nice skins/themes for leopard?

I googled my face off but couldn't come up with anything.

Also there was a discussion here earlier about having a "Transparent" Dock in Leopard, which is still valid.
Oh!, and yes, my Face is still intact.

I don't use theming apps, but here's a few suggestions:

Manifique seems to only work in Leopard, not Snow Leopard, but there it is.

Themepark seems to support both. The problem, as explained by the guy who did (and apparently has gotten lazy about) ShapeShifter, is that Apple is transitioning to using just CoreUI for theming (this may now be complete, I don't know) from the previous, easier to hack into, system. So a lot of "theme managers" have bitten the dust.

iLeopard is a stand-alone theme changer with a single purpose: to give all of Leopard (or Snow Leopard) the "iTunes 7" look. VERY mixed reports on this, so use with caution.

Sorry, but the OP link showed "wallpaper", so it was an easy enough mistake to make.
