I like this idea. I think it's the best of both worlds.

swiz,

you've done a beautiful job, I haven't reguarlly use a SS theme since studio pro (which is still my favorite theme). I've been on the TiSkin, and Chosen definitely made me Choose.

Safari and iChat additions are great (so much easier now that they are bundled into the guiKit) but it seems to me that many themers for get about iTunes... it seems that Shape Shifter would just as easily modify that as well and I think it would just make for a complete system modifying theme, which Swizcore themes are usually the best in doing.

Sorry if this has been brought up before.

excuse the horrible quality apple logo. i don't have that apple logo photoshop shape anymore. anyone got it? i can't find it anywhere.

if i could figure out which images to change in themepark, i would do it myself

this is a bad look, the basic design of the apple should look something like this but it should be smaller lighter and maybe still in the box to stay true to chosenOS

I thought you were going to fix the Safari skin?

Or is that v2.0.2?

I did update it, what are you thinking should be "fixed"?

I never downloaded the "original" because I saw that you would be updating it soon.

When I saw that the Forward and Back arrows didn't match those of the Finder, and that the highlight wasn't as strong as that of the Finder buttons, I assumed it hadn't been updated yet.

Also, totally unrelated, when switching between the two versions in the ShapeShifter prefpane (not actually applying) the widgets shift 1px vertically between the two. I haven't tried both variations to actually see if there is a difference, though.

Edit: Also, the top left pixel in the menubar is missing in the square version (it's there as it should be on the corresponding pixel on the right).

The 1 px widget shift between the two is necessary because of the difference betwen the little rectalinear shape which the widgets sit within.

I'll check out that top left pix in the square version. ( I havent used it since I added the round version).

Great theme! Add an Apple menu it will probably be my new default theme!
Edit: You already did.
