Just click the link, and it downloads straight to ShapeShifter (because it's URL is "guikit://etcetc").

If you want to DL the file to somewhere else, copy the link and change guikit:// to http://

No idea what could be going on with iCal, I'd suggest you get in touch with Unsanity support.
Glad you like the theme though

Themes selling software...

Too bad themers can't make money off of themes.

In other words no themers = no shapeshifter.

When I apply (and restart) I still have problems with the background color of Apple menu extras. They are still the default background. Same thing with the new Siro theme. Annoying but still better than the efault desktop...anyone else see this?

Ah, but you can. Just not certain themes.

Well if themers would release the files the right way...

There always should be a choice.

I tried to just click the link. I have ShapeShifter installed and Safari would say it doesn't know how to handle that type of file. I tried changing the guikit:// to http:// and Safari would display the file with its code or some wierd text.

The only way I could download it was use IE on my Windows PC then transfer it over to my iBook
