Hey guys,

Who has still something at home to fly around and can sell me?

Greetings from Germany

OK, so I modified the About This Mac screen to be a little bit more realistic. There are a few small changes, the most notable being that I removed the word "Leopard" entirely. This theme is meant to cover that up. :) There a a few other small changes also. I figured I'd upload it because why not? Install it the same way you did the last one.
If @SourceSunTom or anybody else working on the theme wants me to take this down, just ask. EDIT: Here's a screenshot.View attachment 671120

Download the files. Then go to /System/Library/CoreServices. Locate "loginwindow", then right-click and choose "Show Package Contents". Go into Contents, then Resources. Here replace MacOSX.tif with the one in my download. Then go into YOUR_LAUNGUAGE.lproj. Replace AboutThisMac.nib and AboutThisMac.strings.

Log out, log back in, and you're good to go! Enjoy. :)

And, what about your blurred dock? Is it done? Or not?
Waiting for your reply)))

NP. But keep in mind that this just updates the About This Mac screen; for a full Sierra Theme, use LeopardRebirth (assuming you're on Leopard; Snow Leopard doesn't work, I tried it).

No, unfortunately I couldn't make it blurred. You can still use my regular dock.

Earlier this year, the @gavinstubbs09 and PowerPC Archive Team planned on releasing an El Capitan icon pack for OS X Leopard, similar to the Yosemite pack that was released a year prior. The pack was supposed to come on January 1st (or there about), but the release was held-up, and the topic switched to a macOS Sierra pack. Since the idea of the Sierra pack emerged, the team, along with others here, have made great strides towards building a fully inclusive macOS Sierra theme for Leopard.

The theme is set to include:
-Icons
-Traffic lights
-Menubar
-Dock
-...And more!

I created this thread for the purpose of discussing solely the macOS Sierra theme, and to make a new place to post the things that we have done to make our old Macs look new again! I will update this post with pictures and other ideas once they are posted or suggested. I look forward to seeing the responses and everyone's hard work!

Ideas:
-Dark mode?
-Possible release of full "macOS Sierra for PowerPC" Installer DMG
-Easy installer package, no manually using CandyBar or replacing system files

Current Progress:
January 2016
-Icons ready for use with CandyBar, FoxBoxes created for iCloud apps
Summer 2016
-Progress made with Traffic Lights and other UI Elements
October 2016
-Users here start work on UI Elements

Estimated Schedule:
-Pack to be completed by Early 2017 (January/February)
-UI Elements to be finished by December 2016
-Pack installer .zip or .dmg to be done by January 2017

Files (So Far):
Modified About This Mac Screen (https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/resources-to-replace-zip.639513/)
San Fransisco Font (https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/sanfranciscofont-zip.640478/)
Modified San Fransisco Font For PPC https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/lucidagrande-dfont-zip.667024/

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Post will be updated as new ideas arise, or photos of ongoing work are posted!

I dont know how to do it. do you have instruction to follow? sorry newbie here.
 
Yep, you need to downgrade, you're running Snow Leopard, and the theme requires straight Leopard. As far as I know it should work on Intel too.

Just so you know, if you downgrade, you lose the Mac App Store, Google Chrome support, modern FireFox support, modern iTunes support, Office 2011 support, iLife/iWork 2011+ support, and Modern flash and java support. That’s not even including the fact that you will be losing all your files and data since you will have to reformat your hard drive in order to install the lower version of Mac OS X. Depending on what model Mac that is, you can probably just install El Capitan or High Sierra and have it natively look like those OSes as opposed to losing many features by downgrading to just use an imperfect theme

True. If you want leopard, I'd partition your hard drive so you don't lose stuff. A newer OS is a good choice too, but I'm not sure about the usability of El Cap on 2GB of ram and a 1.6GHz C2D.

okay... Ill stick on what I have right now. I hope someone will make this theme for snow leopard. thanks for your effort. Really appreciate it.
 
I found a couple of partial themes for Snow Leopard some time ago, on Deviant Art. These theme the traffic lights, scroll bars, and a few other elements. ThemePark 4.1 is required to apply these. I've uploaded everything you need to my server- http://atari.vg-network.com/public/snowleopardtheme

I think that these files have readmes that tell you how to apply them, but I'm not 100% sure. I haven't messed with theming SL for a long time so I cannot offer any support. Mess with these at your own risk.
