Apple To Add Platinum Theme?

real theme, fake image

as we have seen before, in the tiger screenshots, this theme is already being used. Somone obviously grabbed that and made a crappy photoshop job, then sent it to appleinsider... Or were you sleeping through WWDC?

might i add that i got my hands on a developer release of tiger from wwdc, and mail is much better, but nothing like that.

Using hacks to change the appearance detracts from the stability of the system since they have to break into places they're not supposed to be. While they may seem to work well enough, there is still a difference in stability between what Mac OS X provides as base and are add-ons are in use.

I am in favour of using themes but I will wait (too long) for Apple to make up their minds rather than face instability and lose work. They have been finding their way to a default look-and-feel for several years now--since the days of black and white, really--and I'd like to see one theme, as this is not supposed to be a jumble of ideas but an operating system and applications.

very true. I was betatesting a to be released software last week and according to the crash logs, about 80 percent of the bugs i found was caused by shapeshifter... If that was what you were talking about...

Indeed, it is an prime example.

I've been watching people make hacks to various operating systems for over 20 years. With most new operating system releases, the hack fails and sometimes, unintentionally accesses code that was not meant to be. Mostly, they are minor glitches but I've seen disk partitions removed, in extreme cases.
