Yeah I could try that. Im pretty busy right now and I have barely even been able to touch the trusty old G5 lately

Alright, I've tested a theory. I added a Finder.app to the package I made, but all I put inside was the Resources folder, containing only the Yosemite/El Cap/Sierra styled Finder icon as Finder.icns. After install, the icon for Finder was indeed changed to that .icns, while for the rest the file was left unmodified. If this goes the same for system files like .bundle files, which I strongly believe will, CandyBar won't even be required for a macOS Sierra PPC Installer DVD.
All versions of TenFourFox (G4/G4e, G5), Onyx, Mactracker, Transmission, Flux, Keka/Unarchiver, Lab Tick, Monolingual, VLC, ATIccelerator and Rember to name a few.
Latest versions of all built-in OS X apps for PPC (replacing iTunes.pkg on disc for example)
Also, should remove Boot Camp package and anything to do with intel (kext's as well) to save a few MB's. make sure to remove the references in the distribution file.
That's what I did on my custom disc anyways.
If needed, I created a AIO Installation pkg for the three versions of TFF.

Good! I'm going to try taking a break from it this weekend, the transmission bellhousing is cracked so I need to take it out and tig weld it back together.
Maybe the theme pack will get better this weekend, if not, I'll just release what I have thus far.
Since there has been an extended abscense of @SourceSunTom , I have begun working on the same things he has. So far I have the stoplights done and part of the menu bar (it needs improvement). I should be able to get most of it done this weekend
This whole thing has been taking a lot longer than expected for me. Give me a few days and ill send you a PM.
This I would love! Just like Lion where it showed an icon of the Mac instead of the X.

I was actually thinking of something along those lines"Brought to you by PowerPC enthusiasts and the PowerPC Archive
Im so confused... Are we talking about the theme here? xDI got first dibs on a YouTube video!!
It was a joke since @Adamscomputerrepair said he was excited to make a how-to on the install. I presumed it was a video on YT
I was trying to figure out what he was talking about when he said a "How to" and then you joined in so I thought I was missing something from another thread...
(I need sleep)But in all seriousness, I really don't think there is a need for a guide. It will be like any other normal 10.5 disk with just a bunch more install options.
Edit: Maybe some UI customizations too

Welcome to my world. The engine in my runner blew up five weeks ago. Scraping cash together and waiting on machine shop
Actually, I went ahead and started modding "About This Mac" nib to be more like later "ATM" panels/windows. Gotta cover a shift at another work location tonight but then I got a day off.
Pics to follow soon.

I was talking about a YouTube video and it's simply for the theme pack. If you guys do an OS, I may review it but that's all.
