I was searching things after finding yet again that Facade still seemes to be vapor ware and found this Crystal Clear Leopard.

Advertised to work for both leopard and tiger I have tested this and have had the following issues.

Version tested was 1.8

  • Misterius blank space in some applications. (this is caused in the CandyBar application for example.
  • Only works on some apps so things like finder are not themed
  • Does suck up some resources
  • if your using transparency with quicksivler you may some times get a black box in the background.
  • Firefox does not theme.
  • if you go with a gunmetal color like I did dont expect to read much in the system prefences menu.
  • VLC play back window will turn completely transparent for the title and area where the play controls are. while nothing you need such as video or pause are transformed this does limit your ability to drag the window down to clicking on the actual words in the title (only a we bit anoying).
  • if you use surplus metter dont expect to read anything unless you disable theming on the app.
  • Works just fine with Kameleon and the iWork 09 suite.
  • Some slight resizing issues with skype, adium, colloquy, and iChat may be made un-stable
  • Does not interfere with microsoft office, Xcode, and Itunes
  • Rapid weaver, Adobe CS3, Default Folder, Drag thing, Mail.app, Virus Barrier, and Net Barrier are just fine.
  • Does not effect .mpkg installers
  • Kills Boxee (I am looking for a fix which I will post on the boxee forums)

my attached screenshot is in a turned down level of quality
