Ionium Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Don't count on it anytime soon as it's nearly impossible to theme on Lion. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1057630-1073-themes/#findComment-594649716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWDweller Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Lion Designer is good for doing some of the other things like Mission Control, Launchpad Themes and Login screen. Aside from doing the Dock with another app on their site or other software and tweaking your icons, I am not sure of of any hard core tweaks.

.Neo Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Starting OS X Leopard it became pretty hard to theme the OS. A lot of things are hardcoded and as such difficult to change. Beyond that I guess the whole theming fab researched its high some time ago.

PyX Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I don?t see the need to theme something perfect though. Windows XP was fun to theme because the default theme was ugly and had this profound Fisher Price look to it !

Quillz Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 It was fun to theme because of how easy it was to theme. You only had to modify a single file and you could run any theme you wanted.

I know, but there was something in my comment that went beyond my personal opinion : when something is approaching perfection, chances are, themes will look like ass next to the original, either in terms of aesthetics or ergonomics.

cooky560 Veteran Posted February 14, 2012 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2012 Indeed OS X is one of the few OSs I've used where I needed to make almost no modifications to the UI Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1057630-1073-themes/#findComment-594655074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've applied Aqua Extreme to Mac OS X ever since the theme was released. OS X Lion is the very first release where I haven't themed anything, so I agree. However I also understand that some people might have different tastes.
