Here are a few to get started: ShapeShifter CandyBar These are a few that I've used in the past. What are your favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabron Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 @Mashugly shapeshifter works now with 10.4.1 and 10.4.3 (the both builds)? Here my ones: Deskshade2 My Rating: Notes: Application for storing and applying your desktops. HimmelBar My Rating: Note: It is a very lightweight (and free) application launcher, but not x86 binary maybe run slows. TigerLauncher My Rating: Note: Same as HimmelBar, but it's x86 intel binary and runs great Konfabulator My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: Don't like the apple dashboard? No problem, thats a nice replacement choice Tune My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: iTunes Controller in your menu bar, great choice Pixadex My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: Icon Management, auto drag n drop image 2 icon, safe organize and improve your icon library. TransparentDock My Rating: :star_smile: Note: Customizing the dock the way you want it (should works on 10.4.3, i never test it) Synergy My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: The Best of iTunes Control menu (Request on their page the x86 binary) Quicksilver My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: Don't like the spotlight? Here's your new launcher. Cocktail My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: This have some hidden features, like: put the dock on end position and more. ThemeChanger My Rating: :star_smile: Note: Actually it's don't work very well for us and this software is a little buggy (not the compilation) Guikit2Dlta My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: When or If you get themechanger working 100%, this handle be nice to convert .guikit themes to use in it. Guikitty My Rating: :star_smile: Note: A tool to dissasembly the .guikit themes, so you can use it to convert to dlta or mod in themepark ThemePark My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: A tool to mod rsrc themes, you can edit, mod and build your own theme as guikit or dlta, good one Menu Calendar Clock My Rating: :star_smile::star_smile: Note: I personally preffer it than original callendar and clock, that's looks like "LClock" for windows. I won't put the unsanity products here because they don't work as well for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_mx Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 ShapeShifter didn't work for me : . I use build 1111f. It installs but can't run. A message warning appears Any other alternatives for changing themes on OS X X86? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Nightmare Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 I absolutely despise ShapeShifter. It killed my install for no apprent reason, although I was completelyy upgraded and was supported by the program. I lost a lot of information, and couldn't reinstall myself because I needed the files on the system. Had to go to an Appletech and pay 90 bucks USD to have them back everything up, reinstall the OS, then put everything back on. Bleh, what a headache.

rogabean Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I couldn't live without himmelbar. Seriously. That's one app that everyone should install and I've not had a problem with it slowing down at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belgrano Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 As a launcher I preffer XMenu. Unfortunately it's not universal binary, but at least it doesn't mix the application folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sev7en Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I would like to set the transparency of some windows (e.g. VLC): does it is out any tool to make it quickly and safety? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog_Paddle Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 UNO It gets rid of all that horrible polished metal or whatever that metallish {censored} is. Everything looks 20x better. Only downside is that it makes your spotlight icon and the Apple icon in the menubar a little smaller. I don't know why Link: http://gui.interacto.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macprodan Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Also in finder or Desktop, Ctrl Click or Right Click on Icon or Program then Copy.. then Ctrl / Right Click, Go Get info on Item of which you wish to assign new icon.. and click the little icon preview in top left of info window and Paste.. Could've been worded better, bit tipsy.. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beldar Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Does anybody know of a program I can use to change icons for the hard drive and stuff? I mean a free program, not like ShapeShifter where the demo expires 5 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 there's Candy Bar for changing your icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takuro Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Onyx is a free application that can tweak a lot of features in OS X that normally aren't customizeable. Now the dock is no longer prohibited from going near the "almightly menubar." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
