ShapeShifter 2.4 released for Intel Macs
ShapeShifter 2.4 is finally out of beta, with full support for Intel Macs. Besides being a Universal Binary, this release adds support for Unified window styles.
Icon Sets are now a lot more flexible. You can use “Application” icontainers exported from Panic’s excellent CandyBar. Or, you can mix and match your own Icon Sets using Geekspiff’s ThemePark.
guiTweak has gotten a ton of bug fixes, so if there’s a theme that you almost love, you can tweak it to your heart’s content. Adjust hues, change text colors, tweak the Dock’s appearance - guiTweak can give any theme your special touch. You can also use guiTweak to manage your theme variants. Got a variant you hate? Delete it with guiTweak. Want to consolidate all of your faves into one guiKit? guiTweak can do that, too.
