I know there's not a huge demand for the Classic Platinum theme in OS X, and I don't really want it. But I switched to it for a change and noticed the lines in the title bars go right through the text. From what I can tell there's no way around that because of how OS X is themed, but is there any way around that at all? So it looks exactly like Apple Platinum did?

Nope, not possible AT ALL.
OS 9 used titlebars set up like " endcap -- stretch -- text fill region -- stretch -- endcap"
OS X eliminated the text fill region in the titlebar, so we're SOL on that effect....
The best thing you can do is to make a VERY wide textlike region in your titlebar stretch but that won't work with the theme in question.

That's what I thought, thanks anyways. Hopefully someday Apple will be more flexible with themes, because not just with Platinum, but with including a text filled area in the resources you could do some really neat things with themes for X.

I know devolopers can create custom windows like iSync caution window. Can't we create a shell like in Windows? Something that draws on top of windows?

I'm not 100% on what you're talking about, but it sounds like you mean creating a window with it's own style, which could work for itself. But any window that OS X opens/draws would always look back to system resources, and they don't allow for that.

What they mean is iSync uses a custom class to generate an OS 9 styled error window. The windows stretch pattern stops where the text does and starts back up after it. It COULD be possible to take advantange of this and write a haxie that would circumvent the part of the OS that won't let us include a titlebar text area and overlay a custom titlebar instead. But until that happens we ARE S.O.L.
