Themes, PLEASE!

I second, third, and forth that. I honestly hate the aqua look and feel and it actually bothers my eyes being too white. Windows at least always let you change colors, but OSX you're stuck with just white. At least stop breaking all the third party apps. Everytime there is an OSX update it's like Apple is purposely killing skinning/theme support.

Drawing Board! With the pale beige graph paper background! That was without doubt the most gorgeous window theme I have seen for any OS, ever.

Why are you guys begging Apple to bring back themes? It was 3rd party software, kaleidoscope, that enabled themes in os 8 & 9. Do you mean the highlight colours, etc? That is in the General control panel. If you mean kaleidoscope like themes under X, senne gave up the links you want.

[rinse]

no, Jadey, there were themes that could be enabled in the Appearance control panel in OS9... Platinum was the only included in the OS out of the box, but many were downloadable through third party ResEdit fiends. I think 8.5 brought the ability to the MacOS (?)

Some themes I had seen included : NeXtheme, Paper, Etc...

Search around... you'll find em out there.

Yes, it was 8.5 that introduced Themes to the Mac OS.

Damn you, Apple, for not implementing it yet. You don't just give someone a cool feature and then suddenly Yank it away.

I want to theme my OS soooooo bad, but every time I get a chance I either kill my OS because of the way Apple made OS X not replace missing resources or I just plain can't do it.

I WANT TO MAKE MY OWN INTERFACE!

That's ALL I ask, Apple. That's ALL I ASK.
