Hello All , I am using SS and for the most part I am having no problems with it on my G5 . The only strangeness I am dealing with is a few themes , SS Studio Pro , Rhapsodized , seem to disappear . Everything went fine on installation but when I went to see them after re-start they are missing . I can Download them again but they do not stay as choices . Just wondering if anyone else has seen this on these themes . Thanks for your time and advice.

I suspect that you're double-clicking the theme (the guiKit file) from the downloaded disk image and then ejecting the disk image and emptying your trash. ShapeShifter allows you to keep your guiKit files anywhere you please, so if this is the case, it's searching for them on a virtual disk belonging to a disk image that's no longer present on your computer.

I personally copy my guiKit files to <my home directory>/Documents/Spiffy Themes, but you can keep 'em anywhere.

Thanks for your reply . That was indeed it , although after installing Rhapsodized I seem to have lost the Brushed Metal apperance . Is this normal/expected ? Is there a way to recover without much ado ? Not a big problem for me though . It seems there is way too much Brushed Metal for me . Again thanks for the tip/advice .

Brushed metal loose it's texture so that themers can use colored Brushed appearances. Smeger said he could redo this in a future release so that it would allow both colors and textures.
