In the system preferences there is a category for changing the theme of OS X. Cool.

Unfortunatly it gives you a whooping 2 options...Blue or Graphite. Is there a way to change the colors at all? Right now I am going for a green/matrix theme (I have this nifty background of the Matrix code and it forms the Apple logo in the background*) and I think it would be cool to have my buttons green, and my Apple in the left hand corner green etc etc.

Thanks
Mike

*seems to me it should have the Microsoft logo but eh I guess even the machines know which OS to use!

Not that I've used it, not that I know much about it, not that I recommend it ...

... but Shapeshifter (http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/shapeshifter) is an option, and probably the most popular at that.

:D

Note to the original poster about this app. It should be noted that since it is dinking with the OS at such a low level that it may cause some stability issues. I've read more then a few reviews of such apps on the Mac having a detrimental effect on system stability.
