	Apr 23 2009	JOHN SAWYER CJS Also don't forget that Architect's developers have a website (fancy that), where they sometimes post info on their progress: www.slightlypretentious.com Right now, one big problem they're dealing with, is that now the time is approaching when Snow Leopard will be released, so they're trying to decide whether to release a Leopard themer, which may be incompatible with Snow Leopard (and thus disappoint people who will be upgrading to it), or wait until Snow Leopard is released, and release a Snow Leopard themer shortly after that, then a Leopard themer later.

	Apr 23 2009	JOHN SAWYER CJS According to the developers, who discuss (sometimes) Architect at www.macthemes.net, both Architect and Facade are still in active development, but school, home, family, people leaving the company, etc. have delayed them again. They've stopped giving release dates, and are now just saying "soon", "when it's ready", etc. (Version 1.0b2)		0

	Dec 3 2008	EASER So, is Facade dead in the water? Their site had said "coming in October," and then nothing happened. Now it just says "coming soon." And I had e-mailed the maker of Kameleon many weeks ago who promised me a Version 2 and new themes were coming out "in the next two weeks," and again, nothing happened. Unsanity is pointless . . . this is truly sad. (Version 1.0b2)		+3

JOHN SAWYER CJS How are the developers of Architect/Facade changing theming in the way you describe? ShapeShifter isn't free--it's $20 "shareware". If you mean they're changing theming from a programming viewpoint, they're not responsible for that--Apple changed how things are done in Leopard, and any programmer who creates a theming utility for Leopard needs to accomodate that. That's why ShapeShifter doesn't work in Leopard.

	Sep 11 2008	SULEIMAN KHAN Will GLADLY hand over some hard-earned money for an app that themes leopard. Unsanity have been lazy, uncommunicative, and just generally bad monopolists over the Mac theming world for far too long. Goodbye shapeshifter. Hello Facade :) (Version 1.0b2)		0

	Sep 11 2008	EASER Check out their home page, especially the upcoming "Facade" program. Looks like Unsanity has some decent competition for a change. (Version 1.0b2)		0

EASER I'm not disputing you, but how do you know this? I didn't see it stated on Unsanity's site.
