Rooky007 · 13 Feb 2007 at 21:30

I have been trying to see if I can alter the grey colour style of OS x to a more nice colour like theme is this possible without having to install anything or have i got to install somthing?

You can't, not without installing something. Anyway why would you? Just sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Good lord, such heresy!

I have never really thought about it. I have seen posted shots of tweaked and altered OS X's here but I am not sure what people have used. There are a few apps - ThemeChanger (free) Candybar and Shapeshifter (not free) and ThemePark but I have never used any of them so can't comment.

Come to think of it a lot of XP users seem to be determined to change their theme to look like OS X.

your right there I have seen loads of Windows Shoot looking like OS X like adding Dock and things like that.

Hmmm maybe I stick with the defaults for a bit then

What web address for both of those please

26 seconds of googling (Yes I actually did time it) yielded the following:

Shapeshifter

UNO

p.s. I dont know about Mac users but UNIX users generally expect the OP to do a little legwork themselves from time to time

You never want to pay for anything do you!

Buy CandyBar - it's worth the cash.

There are loads of tiny Mac Apps out there that only cost about $10 - 15 and are so so worth it.

Agreed and the the more support we can give to Mac developers the better it will be for all of us in the future.

Exactly - I would say look at the feature set at all of panic.com's software - it's phenominal for the equivlent of a tenner - and there are far more small business' like this out there!
