Whats the text at the bottom of the screen - is that growl showing IRC chat?

:blink:

It's his contact list I believe.

Anyway here is my new style. This guikit seems to have a problem with the corner of finder windows unfortunately.

Digitaljames using Aqua? I think I see rain falling upward, and a pig flying by my window then hitting the broad-side of a barn.

There's nothing wrong with aqua. Themeing is great and all but if you want to get things done, turning off themes gives an added boost in performance.

Is it just me or do shapeshifter themes drag down performance more under tiger than they did with Panther? Is it just that I notice it more because I have a slow machine and can barely playback H.264? I could not play back the keynotes without dropping frames when I had themes enabled.

I happen to love Aqua. In my opinion there isn't a theme that is better, and no person can make a better theme that fit's OS X as good unless it's Apple themselves.

I totally agree with you, I have an iMac G5 rev. B, 2 Ghz, and used a lot of shapeshifter themes. Sometimes it was so buggy that the live resize on quicktime chopped. The other day I was in a mall, and there was a new iMac open to people, it was a mess, all people without knowledge could go there and do what they want... anyway, it felt much snappier than mine... :cry:

It couldn't be only 0.1 Ghz more.... so I went back home and disabled shapeshifter.... boom, the system sprang to new life. And I also hear much less fan noise.... and the cpu temperature is much lower....

Too bad becuase I was loving iMagine... but the system is much more usable... :no:
