Not sure if it's just me or not but after I installed the January 25th security update, I can't get the finder or safari to take a theme. Ideas? (with ShapeShifter 2 and a theme i know worked before the update.)

Did you try the obvious, like trashing SS prefs, cache ?

Navigate to HD->System->Library->CoreServices->SystemVersion.plist
Copy it to your DT and open it in Text Edit...... Change all strings making reference to 10.4 to 10.3.7 (or your current OS)
Save file and Copy....... Paste into CoreServices->Replace->Authenticate
ReStart your computer.

Although I'm not needing it (yet), what a great tip
How on earth did you figure that out ?

you seriously installed a hack that makes your computer say that? what a joke. Does it just make you feel better or something?

I agree with you, but someone actually made that file do that thing. It would be nice if people who decide to muck with such things give some kind of warning about the consequences or at least include a "Read Me" file that clearly explains how to undo it. Neither were the case here.

dude...it was part of a GUI kit i found in THIS forum.
my advice though is to NOT edit it with text edit. i had to reinstall my system because the computer wouldnt restart after editing it.

Then you did it incorrectly...... this type of hack has been around forever.

You only need to edit what is in bold and you will be fine.

Ok found the fix. Unsanity finally posted something on their site.
In Terminal type:
defaults delete com.unsanity.shapeshifter CustomSettings
And all is fixed.
