Hiya Kids, it's Theming Time!

Here's a bit of the ol' ThemePark 4, now with Snow Leopard compatibility. If you're tired of Aqua, you can use ThemePark 4 to change your UI to whatever you'd like. ThemePark will even apply your changes safely to your operating system for you.

ThemePark 4 can:

  • Safely apply themes created by other ThemePark users;
  • Edit the ArtFile, SArtFile and Extras files that underlie the appearance of Mac OS X;
  • Easily merge multiple themes together to mix and match appearances;
  • Integrate with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for easy editing;
  • Convert between the Snow Leopard and the Leopard versions of SArtFile;
  • Edit many theme images at once for easy modification;

Oh, and ThemePark 4 is also completely free, at least for now!

Caution

In the unlikely event of a ThemePark emergency, you can revert to Aqua via the command line by entering the following command:

/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.geekspiff.themepark --revert

So what about the rest of Unsanity's products?

WindowShade

Unfortunately, I won't be updating ShapeShifter for Snow Leopard, nothing has changed since Leopard was released and so my previous rationale still applies. Fortunately, ThemePark 4, which is free, still allows some level of theme creation.

However, Unsanity is still hard at work on Snow Leopard compatibility for the rest of our stuff and will be announcing availability as things become ready. Look for posts from Slava and Rosyna about WindowShade, FruitMenu, FontCard, Labels X, Menu Master, and Xounds in the near future, and watch for something from me about Mighty Mouse.

In the meantime, happy theming!
