He may be working on a free theme changer for all he's telling us, but he's acting like themeing shouldn't happen and is illegal. For all we know he's smiling at the keyboard while "getting angry" on...

Okey dokey. Legally I mean. You seem to be up in arms about that with Zimph.

You'd like that, wouldn't you? What is it do you have against themeing anyway? Sour grapes? Bitter taste?

Let's just assume you don't understand the point of a Sosumi theme (the history, the...

Ok, enough of the insults. I'm not saying themeing is illegal. You are and you seem to be confusing at what point it is illegal. Then again I've argued this with many people who can't seem to...

So, I take it you're no fan of themeing. And that you wish there was no such thing. Because themeing inevitably has to do something to the OS's GUI to theme.

Sure, Apple's within its rights. But...

I'd say it's a person's perogative to be as original/unoriginal as he/she likes but don't confuse homage with copying. And tweaking is always inherrantly "dangerous". Just depends on how much risk...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the original Classic theme was a more rounded and shiney cylindrical pole and Sosumi has a slightly curved flat (in both color and appearance) bar. Plus the color...
