Leopard features

I'm thinking of installing a second Leopard system onto my external drive and messing around with these files to see what they do. Maybe Leopard will finally let us apply themes without having to rely on 3rd-party software :D

No doubt, this would be the case. Had it not been for the iPhone demands on the development team, features such as this would have likely made it into the final build.
 
I suppose the glowing and pulsating aura around the menu slide button gives us a taste of what has been referred to as "illuminous."

Could some of these UI elements be what they used in FrontRow? the illumious box reminds me of the blue selection box in FrontRow

Absolutely..........this Illuminous theme is most likely intended to permeate system-wide. The challenge then - how to maintain it while the environment is bright. (lights on) Hence, the pulsating white glowing aura against the translucent sheet of grey.
