appearance trial software / shareware for mac

Gargoyles is designed to be a useful color scheme for Kaleidoscope, the control panel that lets you alter the appearance of your Mac's desktop. It features various gargoyles in the scroll bars and the background of pull-down menus, and decorating the tops of windows and the trash icon. When the WindowShade is activated, an organ plays. Simply drop Gargoyles into your Kaleidoscope Color Schemes folder, and you'll be able to use it right away.

Requirements:

• System 7.x

ShapeShifter 2.5 is an advanced product that lets you change the overall appearance of your Mac using 'themes'. Here is not talking about just desktop backgrounds and icons here, it is talking about everything - the look of windows, menus, apps, buttons, absolutely everything.

You don't wear the same clothes everyday, your house doesn't look exactly like your neighbor's - why should the computing interface you use everyday be any different. You personalize your physical workspace to suit your tastes and whims, so why not your Mac?

Major Features:

1. Change the overall appearance of your operating system safely, quickly, and reliably;
2. Change the appearance of individual apps to match your theme and your mood;
3. Experience things that haven't been possible with Mac themes before;
4. Quickly preview themes without actually applying them;
5. Install different themes for different users;
6. Add and remove themes effortlessly.
