Hello, guiTweak!

So we just released ShapeShifter 2.2 It adds a spiffay new module named guiTweak.

This is groovy for a lot of reasons - first off, it's just plain damned cool (yes, I wrote it). It lets you apply Apple's Core Image filters to your existing themes, opening theme-tweaking up to anybody, not just graphic-design types. That's spiffy. It automatically picks up new Image Units, so if you add one, guiTweak automatically becomes more powerful. That's spiffy too. It's the first big feature change in theming in awhile. That's definitely spiffy. The fact that it exists means that I'm finally out of Tiger compatibility coding mode - that's insanely spiffy, at least for me. :)

guiTweak also lets you manage the contents of your guiKit files. If there are variants you never use, delete 'em, or move 'em into a new file, or whatever.

Everything tastes better with pictures and butter, so here's my current setup:

I've been playing around with it for a little while now, very cool :) It seems to apply the filter on each drawn object though - is there any chance we could see full-screen effects in the future? Would be nothing like a vortex in the center of the screen, sucking my windows in...

I have to admit that I went blindly into this version and just now found the guiTweak. Very well done and bravo.

This is the greatest feature yet. As soon as you figure out how to do free-form windows Mac OS will finally take the theming crown back from Windows I think.
