Themes, PLEASE!

[dreeb2]

Please, oh please, if you're not going to release themes for OS X so I can customize my Mac, let the third parties do it. I remember making fun of my PC friends long ago when I could change the look of my windows, etc. Now, they've got tons of options and I have none.

Also, I want to agree with "Fahrvergnuugen" about advertising. I know a lot of people who are impressed with iPod just because of the commercial, even tho they are indifferent or PC-loyal. I think the first iMac commercials worked wonders, too. I NEED to see new iMac and OS X commercials. Most of the people I know that are PC-loyal just don't know any better and these commercials might enlighten them.

PLEASE!

I definitely agree on the subject of themes. It was one of the reasons I bought my first Mac just over a year ago. PLEASE bring back themes, Apple!

Well, swizcore has two great themes, search for "swizcore simpleX" and "swizcore NeXT" on the boards and I guess you'll find them

Those themes are nice, but it'd be nicer to be able to have the ease of use of OS 9 themes.

THEMES! THEMES! THEMES! THEMES!

Gimme a T!
Gimme an H!
Gimme an E!
Gimme an M!
Gimme another E!
Gimme an S!

What's that spell!?

Well? What does it spell?

I'll tell ya what it spells! It spells a feature that the Macc OS was BORN to have. The ability to make your Mac what you want it to look like. The ability to make your Mac different than all your friends. That's what "Think Different" means. That's the Apple Credo. Make products that people can love. Products that conform to the users needs and wants. To their personalities.

OS 8 had themes. OS 9 had themes. People liked the ability to change the look of the OS. And Apple took that away from us. In its place they leave us with an unchangable (Not counting the people who risk corrupting their system to change their UI) OS with only TWO color choices. Blue and Grey. Not even a color for all their iMac's. Where's the Ruby? Where's the Lime? Where's the Snow? The Sage? The Grape, Tangerine, Bondi, Strawberry, QuickSilver? Where's the love, Apple?

Where's the ability to make our OS look like we want it to look without the risk of killing our OS? Where's the feature Mac OS users had all the way up to 2001 and Windows users have now gotten? (Not counting the Win users who used WindowBlinds to change Pre-XP UI's)

I implore you, Apple. Theme Support is as important to mac users as the ability to change the Desktop Picture or HD icons or move the Dock. And we got all those features. Now where's our Theme Support?

Yeah, swizcore themes are nice.... he has done a great job.... however, until they work via a legit control panl and are multi user system friendly.... i must stay away. A weird theme would freak my wife out. She likes aqua.
