What's New
Version 4.1:
Added transparent support for 10.6's modifications to the SArtFile.bin format. 10.5 files will be automatically converted and you can save to either format.
Added tagged copy/paste so you can copy arbitrary images one from one file and paste them into another without the element selection or the image sizes being identical.
Changes made to Extras.rsrc will now actually stick when you apply the theme.
Resolved an issue that could prevent a portion of an image from being editable.
Resolved an issue that caused scaled images to appear distorted. There's still more work to do here, though.
Resolved many issues that could arise when changing the size of an image.

Does anyone know where I can find something like a master list that will tell me what each of the index codes refers to in the ArtFile and sArtFile files? I have the gist of what to do, but I don't know what all of these do. I've scoured the web looking for a decent tutorial, but the best I've found are a few codes on MacThemes. Thank you.
ThemePark 4.1 isn't downloading from MacUpdate tonight, because the link goes to the www.geekspiff.com website, which isn't coming up tonight, so I got it from CNET. But that copy won't launch on my G4 running OS 10.5.8--it says doesn't support my Mac's architecture, implying it's for Intel Macs only. I've seen people have this problem before, and the developer says he's fixed it, and the system requirements posted everywhere ThemePark is available for download from, say this version is supposed to work under OS 10.5 on a PPC, but it's not working for me. Any suggestions?
Answer found, on this page. ThemePark 4.1 is for Intel only, as shown in the description in the right-hand column. I was looking only at the column on the left, which says just OS 10.4 compatible. Problem is, most other download sites flat-out say ThemePark 4.1 is PPC compatible. Go figure. www.geekspiff.com has disappeared anyway.

The answer is NO.
So, since the themes I build do not rely on ShapeShifter (they are stand alone themes with their own installers), v3 of ThemePark is useless to me.

Without that, you cannot build themes for the Intel macs.
