hello everyone,

I want to warn everyone with installing Quaker 1.3.
I wanted to switch from Brushed Metal to the Jaguar-interface. So i tried ShapeShifter 1.2 a few weeks ago. And the first theme i installed was Quaker 1.3.

But now this was happening:

No matter which theme i installed with ShapeShifter, in most applications, still that Quaker -'brown-gray' showed up.
-Camino: In the mapbar, and the bar in the bottom of my browser.
-Mail: The bar around the tab, plus 2 other bars.
-MS Word: The bars left, and above (under the rulers).
-Lettertype kept appearing in yellow.
-When i did actions like Restarting, or Empty my thrasbasket, ectc., the action-window had also that Quaker-brown-gray.

I searched for Quaker everywhere in the finder. And everything i found, i threw it away, and empteyed the basket. But Quaker kept appearing. Even after restarting.
I understood, that somewhere there were still Quaker-files saved.

But i was still searching for the Jaguar-interface. So i decided to install Application Enhancer 1.4.4 to use Metallifizer 1.3a1. And directley my finder crashed...! Lucky enough, i could save all my file's, with my old G4. So i decided to reinstall OSX 10.3. And reinstalled Application Enhancer with Metallifizer 1.3a1. No problem at all now.

But the Quaker 1.3 was a nightmare, to get rid of it. And though it's a pitty. Cause it's nice artwork. I does me think of H.R. Giger-artwork. The artist who designed the Aliens, for the same-titled movie.

I'm glad your back on solid ground. That whole thing sounds like a drag.

Thanx. Yess, i'm glad i did get rid of that Quaker 1.3 theme.
I'm very satisfied with the Metallifizer (Jaguar-interface).

Were you running Metallifizer when you had your Quaker problems? I did that once right after I installed SS 2.0 and it hosed my system good. I had stuck resource problems too. I thought it was because I'd updated iTunes & QuickTime in the interim so turned off Metallifizer, did the iTunes & QT fixes on the Unsanity help page & then reinstalled SS and had no problems since. Haven't tried running Metallifizer any more either. Maybe they don't play well together.
