Someone really needs to make a Mac OS X Shaguar theme -- for the latent pimp in all of us. Off of the top of my head, here's what should be included:

-- "Brushed metal" is replaced by spotted Jaguar fur as the theme for iApps -- can't you just hear Steve say "Look at that... how beautiful... don't you just want to pet it?"

-- The "spinning disk" wait cursor should be replaced by a disco ball

-- You don't minimize your windows into the Dock, you bitchslap 'em down in

-- The visualizer in iTunes is replaced by an appropriately cheesy Lava Lamp

...any takers?

It's being done, see this threadJaguar 'Fur' theme thread. Unfortunaly the thread didn't come through the forum transition very well, it's a bit mangled with HTML tags everywhere.

ah yes, but without bitchslapping your windows into the dock, it just wouldn't be the same...

...plus I don't want Jaguar fur in Aqua -- just that the brushed metal theme is replaced by fur. I think it'd look a bit nicer that way

How about a purple crushed velvet look to replace aqua? "Pimpin is so haard to do."

Awwwwwww yeaaah! I can think of some really good icons to go with a good PimpOS (POS). As well as some pretty groovy system sounds. Shoot, someone HAS to do this. It's just beggin to be done!

Brilliant! I haven't tried any themes yet, but I think I would defiantly take the dive if someone made the Shaguar theme

Some more tidbits on what should be done in the "Shaguar" theme:

-- The Apple logo should either be shiny gold or diamond.

-- Finder icon could have a Pimp style hat (or maybe a fro) and some shades.

-- Of course, some fly desktop pics could be included.

-- New boot panel. (not sure what it could be)

Anything else?

Oh yeah, who's gonna make this?

Don't forget to add a gold tooth...

I suggest watching "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" a few times before theming
