DESCRIPTION
ThemeChanger switches your theme in Mac OS X. It supports the .theme and .dlta formats, and generates an aqua backup automatically. You can also restore the aqua backup via single-user mode, if an installed theme damages your system. ThemeChanger is fast, free, and most importantly, easy to use.

STEVEN JAY COHEN  ThemeChanger works perfectly in 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4. In fact, I wrote Iridium for ThemeChanger. You can only use themes developed for your OS. You cannot use Panther Themes on Tiger (or Tiger Themes on Panther). So, since most themers are developing for ShapeShifter, opensource solutions like ThemeChanger get left out in the cold. It is possible to convert some themes to a themechanger-friendly format. If there is enough interest, maybe I could help get a TC compatible theme site going.

ANONYMOUS  tested/applied with mac os x 10.2.8: slim, functional, (as far as i could see) secure: simply smart, .. preserve the 20$ (you'd spend for shapeshifter ;) and take this, .. if you like these things

// i used themechanger to apply the "aqua extreme" theme .. which gives jaguar a taste of puma and looks nice even with just thousands of colors; conserving some leaking system ressources on my 1st gen. ibook.

// could be even more nice as a system preference pane; but ok -- 5 stars anyway
