ShapeShifter is a revolutionary new product that lets you change the overall appearance of your Mac using 'themes'. We're not talking about just desktop backgrounds and icons here, we're talking about everything - the look of windows, menus, apps, buttons, absolutely everything. You don't wear the same clothes every day, your house doesn't look exactly like your neighbor's - why should the computing interface you use every day be any different. You personalize your physical workspace to suit your tastes and whims, so why not your Mac? With ShapeShifter, you can:

• Change the overall appearance of your operating system safely, quickly, and reliably
• Tweak existing themes to create the one that's perfect for you
• Experience things that haven't been possible with Mac themes before
• Quickly preview themes without actually applying them
• Use Jaguar or Panther themes in Tiger effortlessly
• User specific theme and icon set installations
• Add and remove themes effortlessly

New in version 2.3.1:

• Resolved an issue that caused menu text in Photoshop CS2 and Firefox to be black regardless of the theme color.
• Changing screen resolution no longer leaves garbage behind the menubar status items.
• Carbon windows now disable use of a unified toolbar since it's not easily themeable yet.
• Resolved an issue that caused Carbon apps that use a unified toolbar to hang (iClip and Interarchy 8, for example).

New in version 2.3:

Features
• ShapeShifter's Download tab now has a shiny indicator that lights up when new themes are available for download.
• guiTweak now allows you to manually set colors in any theme. For each color present in a theme, you can change them to the color of your choosing, let Core Image set them, or remove them from the theme. You can use this to easily turn off stuff like Mail list background or Dock customization, or to add it to a theme that doesn't have it. You can also tweak text colors after hue shifting a theme.
• You can now type the name of a theme to select it (Tiger only).
• ShapeShifter can now optionally notify you when a new version is available.
• "Growl" (if present) will be used to indicate that themes were applied successfully when the normal indicator sheet has been turned off.
• Completely revamped the app skin compatibility system. ShapeShifter is now much smarter about how it disables app skins when a new version of a skinned application has been released.
• Minor improvements in menu drawing performance.
• Minor improvements in application launch speed when a theme is applied.
• Includes Smart Crash Reports 1.0.2.
New Theme Capabilities
• Dark themes with light text colors are much more usable within Carbon apps such as Photoshop.

• Application skins created for a version of iTunes earlier than 5.0 will not be used if the installed version of iTunes is 5.0 or higher. And vice versa.
• Finder windows no longer occasionally draw with a completely black background.
• Resolved an issue that caused excessive logging from some Carbon applications, and that caused text within Carbon bevel buttons, popup buttons, and pushbuttons to display incorrectly (Eudora, Ircle).
• Resolved an issue that could cause small visual glitches in certain apps (like Proteus, when using themes that include patterns larger than 8x8 pixels).
• The System Preferences Dock icon is no longer badged with the ShapeShifter icon at inappropriate times.
• Quitting guiTweak with an unsaved tweak, choosing to save the tweak, and then cancelling the save no longer prevents guiTweak from being quittable thereafter.
• Saving a guiTweak document by closing the document and then choosing to save from the sheet no longer results in a crash.
• Resolved an issue that could cause crashes when using themes that don't include enhanced menu customization.

New in version 2.2:

• Added a spiffolicious new module "guiTweak" that provides the ability to modify guiKit files using Core Image filters. guiTweak makes it simple to tweak a theme that you like into a theme that you love. It also lets you move variants between guiKit files, rename variants, remove variants, or change the preview image or description for variants. Tiger only.
• It's now possible to change the pressed state text color of push buttons independently from the other text colors.

New in version 2.1.2:
