Nice theme but there is a bug that I found. The toolbar color defaults to a white color when viewing "Mail" and "System preferences". Unreadable.

I'm a Firefox user, and when I run either the older Cold or the newly released 1.2 version, I can barely see the text I am typing. Cold seems to cause Firefox's text input boxes to revert to gray type. This cannot be changed by the Firefox preferences for text color.

I discovered how to tweak the theme so I can see text entered into Firefox fields. I needed to set Control Exterior Text back to the System Default, which is black.

This theme is awsome, but for the other adobe cs2 users reading this, there is a potential problem you might find hindering. The info in the pallets such as layers, history, navigation bar ect., are not legible. The text is the same color as the table containing it. You can read the text when highlighted though. Another update to this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

You can exclude individual applications for the theme. Then Photoshop will load without the visual problems.

In your System Preferences>Shapeshifter control panel there is a series of buttons across the top of the window, the last being Exclude List. Click on it, then on the Add button, which will open the dialog where you choose applications that you don't want the theme applied to. Add Photoshop and then when it launches it will have its own visual look.

Hey guys, you need to tweak both the "Control Exterior Text" and the "Control Interior Text" to system default.

That will make programs like Firefox show the menu buttons darker.

Really nice look. Only problems for me so far are some text is hard to read because it is _too_ dark (for instance, the #/time/space information at the bottom of the iTunes window), and that in programs like Word parts of the border remain white or with aqua scroll buttons. Also, in Word, the icons are all very hard to see and have a fuzzy white outline around them. I'm not sure how much of this can be fixed, but again, great design idea. I would use it all the time if it looked a little better (or was easier to see, even) in non-iApps.

Also, I notice in Safari the cancel page button, when it is not the refresh button, is still the old Safari one, not from this theme.

Great theme, but not for finder. I see some weird coloring of the menu bar, all the menus and the bar are very dark, but the time, user, spotlight, etc are all a lighter gray. When I am in any app (or window besides Finder) the entire menu bar is the same lighter gray, which I like better. Frankly I don't care what color it is, but its distracting to have it switch all the time, and for menu items not to match. Oh, and I have the weather widget on the desktop, and the bezel edges don't even show up, not really a big deal compared to the menu bar. Am I alone with this issue?

nvm previous post, I always forget that these themes tend to only work with Aqua, and not Graphite. Changing back to Aqua fixed everything. Looks great now

Hey mate,
Thanks so much for this theme. I absolutely love it! Been using it or months now.
The only problems is that since the update to Safari 3 and Itunes 7, the theme stops working. Any chance we can see an update of the theme for these new apps? Please please!!??
