Desktop Themes Come to the Mac
Gee, welcome to the '90s Apple
Friday, December 1, 2006 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Uusally around here, we talk about changing the look of your PC by changing through software like WindowBlinds. One thing we rarely talk about because, well this is a Windows site, is skinning on the Macintosh. ShapeShifter, a theming product from Mac software developer Unsanity cleared beta on its latest version, 2.4. Usanity is one of several skinning applications available for Mac users.
While not yet as powerful WindowBlinds, it is a solid start for Mac users who are getting tired of the same old look. If you've got a Mac that you want to spice up, head over to Unsanity and check it out now.
Note: this article was rewritten because the first story, which was written tongue-in-cheek, was taken far too seriously.

| Thought things had maybe mellowed out with the PC vs Mac junk so we could move on... |
Hardly.....not when at every moment there is the chance for a 'my dad is bigger than your dad' argument...
It's probably somewhere between overly 'precious' and 'twee' to be lauding the 'three years', whatever that Macs may or may not have been skinning....particularly if it's through the naivete that MS 'skinning' started with the XP OS.
It didn't.
Re light-hearted NEWS content...why the heck not? Last one I saw elsewhere was along the lines of 'Microsoft buys Firefox'...OK, so that, too had headless chickens running around saying 'the sky is falling', but really, people, to use the American vernacular....."lighten up".
Where's Snowman when he's around with the quip....."skinning is meant to be fun"?...

Oh really? I find it hard to believe some people can be so arrogant and thin skinned in this day of age! How about that!? I guess anything is possible! And whats with this "You People" crap! Posts like that are far more annoying than anything else. You need to get over yourself.
You are not the only person that reads these posts. You are not the center of the universe!
Zoomba...just because some people have no sense of humor you should NOT re-write articles. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what you wrote the first time. Its just not right that the many of the users here be denied your humor for the sake of a few that are so thin skinned.
There are far more serious things happening in the world to be concerned about...your light hearted articles are welcome any time. No wait!...maybe I should sue for damaging my sense of humor. And I suffer daily migraines now as well...and my back hurts too! Have you no shame Zoomba!

Sadly, I didn't get to read your original version, but I have no doubt that it was far from being offensive or inappropriate, and thus would hate to see you change writing style based on the narrow minded opinions of some who were either born without funny bones, due to a possible birth defect, or perhaps had them removed due to spoiling their enjoyment of being unhappy, too straight laced and humorless.
You no doubt will have noticed many of my replies to your posts (others too) contain much tongue in cheek.....why? Because life's too serious to be taken seriously, and if ya don't lighten up sometime yer gits grey n' wrinkly prematurely.....
I wholeheartedly agree with WebGizmos, don't change who or what you are to please anyone but yourself.....continue as you always have done, otherwise you're not being true to yourself.
Anyhow, Zoomba, I'll see ya later....I still got two cents ta spend so I'm off ta find another conspiracy theory, gov't coverup.....OS sh!t fight.

Good products. Nice site!
Confused about the squiggly thing in front of the prices...
Is that a Mac thing?
