I would like change parts (essentials) of my GUI without launch Shapeshifter.

Question:
Can I take this file from an specific theme and replace it onto System components (/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Resources/Extras.rsrc) ?

I've experience this hack with “Extra.rsrc” of Percival in this forum (search as “System Preferences Resource”). He create an unity theme for all windows in Tiger (no window bar).
Nice, very nice job...
I replace old by new one, rebuilding authorizations, no problems.
Now, I try the same hack with Max's theme... and no future.
On restart Mac OS, the boot crash !

Why ?

I must reboot from CD's Tiger, reinstall a new system to another partition, reboot from it, replace manually the new "Extra.rsrc” by the old archived and restart with success...

I would like more custom Percival's theme with sidebar Finder for example, that ShapeShifter 2.1.2 can offer...

Last question :
Must I do place near “Extra.rsrc” all the file and folder ressources create by SS when I mod the theme ?

Thanx.
