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

OZZPOT  Of all the theme switchers I have used, this is by far the best. It is the simplest, the fastest, and the most reliable.

Theme switches take just two clicks of the mouse and only few seconds to implement.

Every theme I have tried has installed correctly. (Always restore Aqua before changing to a new theme to avoid problems).

Only a few bugs spoil this applications record:

1: After switching, the progress bar often gets stuck, and won't go away until you click on a menu.

2: Sometimes the Application hangs when starting up.

I won't let these little bugs ruin this review, though. This app is just SO good, and is after all still Beta.
