Gershwix 2.5 is NOT compatible with OS 10.5 or later, since ShapeShifter, which is required to install it, is not compatible with OS 10.5. I haven't seen anything from the Gershwix author as to whether he plans an update to make a version that will work with one of the Leopard theme installing utils, nor does it look likely that Unsanity will release a Leopard-compatible version of ShapeShifter.

I love Gershwix - for me it's the best ShapeShifter theme, the most elegant in interface and integrated features. Only wish the developer would fix the Crimson/Plum mixup. Otherwise perfect.

The RIGHT theme for OSX! It's the best theme for OSX and should have been Apple's default for its OS! Fits the screen perfectly!

I really don´t know why so many people are so in love with the old mac os design. Maybe its because I was a Windows user back then, but i had to work with OS9 at the office. Really, I hated it.
Since OSX 10.4 I call myself a switcher and must say, this interface/optics are so beautiful/efficent (although I replaced finder with path finder).
I don´t understand why all you guys moum the old OS...
But you know what you do. :) Have fun!

Basic. Pure. No BS.

Aqua lays on the eye candy a bit thick, so this is a refreshing alternative.

Too stripey, and you might want to add a really classic apple picture instead of the fully black one, but the buttons are alright

Great. Simple and solid. Light and hard. I think this taste is what Mac OS X's UI should have been. Strong candidate for the best "Classic Theme."

What's with the download? Gershwix is the only download that keeps unexpectedly quitting when decompressing with Stuffit. I downloaded it several times and can't get a complete decompress without it crashing Stuffit Expander.

The same thing happened to me, anything wrong with that zip file?

Anonymous commented on 19 Feb 2004

It can be unzipped by just double-clicking the downloaded file on Mac OS 10.3. Having trouble with unzipping with StuffIt is because the zip file has zipped with Mac OS 10.3's "archive" function within its contextual menu.

If you can't open it with Stuffit (I couldn't), try a program called "DropExtract." That worked for me.

If it was compressed with BOMArchiveHelper, which is the default CoreServices app that for .zip files, and also the contextual menu function to archive a file/folder, then you should just try decompressing it with that. You've probably chosen to override it with StuffIt Expander for .zip files, and that's part of the problem. Just ctrl-click on the Gershwix .zip file, choose Open With and select BOMArchiveHelper.
