Using Shapeshifter I can run QuicksilverR with 10.3. I note that SS installs QuicksilverR by "udating theme for OS 10.3". It actually comes out looking fine, except for one thing...the close/minimize/maximize buttons are (for my tastes at least) noticeably too small.
Is this a side effect of this theme being somewhat out of date? Can anyone suggest a fix? Failing that, is there similar theme I should look at? I know that this started life as Iridium Quicksilver, and then went through various edits, with ownership disputes, etc, and was then updated into QuicksilverR. I still regard this as one of the prettiest and most functional themes ever devised.
Any advice on improving usability and solving this button size issue?

It is an issue with updating a theme for 10.3 compatibility. I dont think that theres any fix other than to resize the widgets. I have no idea what QuicksilverR is but Im sure otheres will be able to help you out further.

Yeah, SS shrinks the widgets from older Jaguar theme to fit into the Panther "canvas"...
Another side-effect of this conversion is that you're stuck with the Aqua Icon/List/Column view buttons...
QuicksilverR was indeed a very slick theme

I had the recessed widget version that Max didn't want people to have, but I loved it so much. - Sorry Max! - Wish I had kept it, but it wouldn't look good anyway.
Was my favorite theme before the upgrade.

I'm going to bump this thread with the hope that it will be updated for 10.3

just use changeling, it apparently looks like a cheap copy of ProLCD and Quicksilver combined

I never said cheap - An 'Homage' can be respectable ;)
