The other day I downloaded iLeopard which makes Leopard (and I think Tiger) look like iTunes. Very subtle and unifies the OS.

Just thought I'd mention it here in case anyone was interested...

Looks interesting but I don't get what it does.

My entire OS looks like iTunes to me. I guess I'm missing the changes. Running Leopard 10.5.4

Looks ok, but goes too far. Replacing all the gel-blue controls is a good idea, but replacing the "streetlight" controls and Mail buttons was unnecessary. No thanks.

I assume this is mainly for the scroll bars. It would be nice if they really unified it all for snow leopard. We have come so close now.

Scrollbars and buttons get modified. Check out the review on MacThemes I really like how it unifies things a little more.

I had a bad experience with iLeopard. I installed it before I did a system update and everything got all screwed up. My buttons were in different places and scroll bars didn't change.

However after I did a system update I had the courage to try again and I like it so far. The stop lights are a little different, but they're alright for now. All in all it's a good look to hold me over until or if Shapeshifter comes out.

I was using that older theme someone created that added iTunes scrollbars until an update when the file got replaced and I forgot to reinstall it. But this one is pretty nice. I like the graphite look with the traffic light buttons that aren't so shiny. And the new buttons and stuff. Plus it keeps my translucent menubar and menus.

Thanks

Definitely after using it for a little while, I've grown to love it. It really does unify everything.

I love it a lot but I wish they'd finish the job at least in the graphite selection and get rid of all the bluish greys and make it a nice greyscale gradient everywhere. Please. I can't believe we finally have the technology again to do it! Do it!

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

I was wondering if this would ever come out. I love Leopard (now) and I feel the aqua theme is out of pace with the rest of the system. Maybe Snow Leopard will fix this?

I think 10.6 or 10.7 will see the end of Aqua, but probably not. iLeopard looks nice though.

I use to love the Aqua look, but now I am looking forward to the end of it. I'm excited to see what 10.6 brings.
