Is there any application that can create an iOS theme on a os x computer? This would let you use the mouse as your finger to swipe through different pages (not like spaces)? I have heard chatter that when (if) MacBooks get touch screens, then Apple may produce an iOS like system for them.
View 1 RepliesI am getting hung up on creating a new ftp folder in OS X 10.5.8 in order to set up a child theme. Once I am in the ftp file listing <Go - Connect to Server> I'm not sure how to create the folder after that. I've tried right clicking (external mouse). Newer Macs seem to have an Add Folder button at the top of the page.

Does anyone know any animation applications with can do any of the following..
Stickman animation or ANY animation
and is simple for beginners
I am just looking for something to create a normal/stick animation for a bit of a project nothing massively complicated.
I have seen many screenshots (like the one below) of modified menu bars that have probably been made using some application. I like how you can change the WiFi icon to cell bars. And I have no idea how they got links to Macintosh HD, movies and TV shows on the desktop. Does anyone know what app that is?
And on the desktop, I have seen that some people have their iTunes album artwork and the song playing show on their desktops. I have many different commands, like the date and time, running on my desktop using Geektool. But I have never thought that geektool would be able to show the artwork though. Is there another app that lets you have this or is it also geektool?
In Tiger, you have the app Uno, that unifies the look throughout osx.
Is there any app available that unifies the look in Itunes 9 in mac osx?
So I've downloaded both geektool and bowtie. The default bowtie themes are boring and I have downloaded more that are compatible with geektool but have NO clue what to do. I could use some tips.
View 1 Replies View Relatedyet the default theme is a very dark gray theme much like Safari but much darker. I have tried looking for other lighter themes with no luck. how to turn off the theme so I just have a much brighter looking interface?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to edit the Bowtie theme Curl, which can be found below.[URL]
I'm not very good at editing the scripts and what not, but basically as you can see from the screenshot at the link above, there are the 5 rating buttons and the X, I was able to remove those so it's just the album cover.
Every time a new song starts playing the theme will have the band and song title scroll by. What I want to do is have the song/band title constantly scrolling by instead of just when a new song is played.
I'm not sure if im posting this in the right section or if I worded this right

Doesn't seem to work. I want to add a keyboard shortcut to open Plex. Preferably command + shift + P.
But under Snow Leopard, I go under Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, +, All Applications, "Plex..." (no quotation marks), command-shift-P

I bought a BlackBerry Pearl 8110 and also download PocketMac from BlackBerry's official site. I put the latest OS on the BlackBerry and installed the latest PocketMac version + the USB drive as instructed to by the BlackBerry site. I'm trying to install this bphone theme (iPhone look-alike) and PocketMac just hangs. I checked it, and it is not responding. Seems to have a problem opening /dev/cu.blackberry as it hangs thereafter in console.

What is the "best practice" for application installation. Is it common for people to create a personal Applications folder? I am thinking of what happens when I have to upgrade to a newer version of Os X. I am hoping to not have to re-install all of my apps. On my Linux laptop (Ubuntu 9.10 x64), I install all applications in /opt, which I just backup before doing an upgrade.

I have two questions/issues with iDVD. I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to iDVD but I have checked all over the internet for the answers.
First I am using the soft frame theme and I am using all three drop zones with video filling them. When I play back the dvd in the dvd preview the video plays very choppy. It is almost frame by frame. The effects of the menu are also slow (in fact the whole preview of the dvd seems to be slow).
My second problem is that when adding background music the dvd takes the whole length of the song to loop, and in the short time is takes someone to choose a button the first drop zone is still looping.
I've created a site with a theme in iWeb 08 that has been removed from iWeb 09. I've put a lot of work into customizing the theme, and iLife 09 is currently being shipped to me. In iWeb 09, can I still maintain and build on this site even though the theme is not included anymore? And, if not, is there a way that I can find the theme data in Finder and copy and paste that into the theme data files in iWeb 09?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using MacBook Pro Early 2011 model with Mountain Lion (10.8.5).
I recently noticed that there was an application folder in my home folder (the folder with your username), but that application folder had been empty. I remember I used to be able to access to my applications from that folder, but not anymore.
Since the folder was empty, I deleted it before doing further research.
After deleting the empty application folder from the home folder, I looked up and some said the application folder in the home folder and the application folder in Macintosh HD are two different folders. I don't know what it means, but I would like to have an application folder with applications in my home folder. Is this possible? or should I just make an Alias folder and put it in my home folder?

I was browsing for a way to theme the OSX stock skin--i've been used to doing it on my windows computers with windowsblinds, but upon searching, the only thing that was able to theme OSX Leopard is now obsolete (Magnifique)

While it is downloading it has a zip icon next to it, but when it's done and I try to open it, it comes up as a word document that has nothing but code on it. Do I need to click, drag and drop it somewhere or something? Should I be opening it with a certain application?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am looking to see if there is a program(s) out there to change OS X desktop theme. Mainly how the tool bar looks/acts.
I want my kids to start using my G4 and they have no concept of where to look for the apps folder or how it works. They are used to Window and Ubuntu.
I like how Ubuntu has programs ot change how the tool bar acts. I was hoping to change the mac a little.
Also off the base of this thread, coming from a Windows and Linux past, is it an issue if my kids just click the red X instead of using the File/quit method to close programs? I see the menu bar still exists when they just hit the X..
about a month or two ago I was trying to change the theme and the software I used had a restore theme but it had a weird glossy thing over the buttons and the close and minimize and change window size buttons where to small so after digging around I found this theme where the buttons where normal but the menubar scroll bar and a few other things are changed still so I uninstalled the software and the theme stayed how can I bring back the original with all the icons the same and all that stuff without losing my files.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a 27" iMac with a near top configuration. I use it for a large part of the time in a business context, and for that I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 extensively. After a difficult conversion from WindowsLand - my fault, I'm sure - I'm now a very enthusiastic Apple customer. The rest of the time is email, on the Web, hosting a large family photo library, music and all the usual stuff.
I also have an iPad 1st generation, which I use for email and as a storage for my digital photographs when I go on long haul vacations, two or three times a year [family live abroad]. While the iPad is great, it doesn't have ethernet, and not all places have WiFi. Also, photo management and linking to social media sites is a bit of a kludge. It doesn't run MS Office for Mac either.
So I am considering buying a laptop for use when I'm not in front of the iMac. I have ruled out the 15" MacBook Pro on size and portability grounds [and the new retina model on cost], so I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Pro, primarily because I had assumed the Air would not be sufficently powerful or capable for my needs. Now I'm in a quandary. Which might be the best option - MBP or MBA?
I like the MBP because it is upgradeable, whereas the Air isn't. However, I'm not replaceing the iMac with the laptop, simply wishing to be able to do a small amount of support work for my colleagues when I'm away. If I buy the best configuration for my needs to start with, why would I need to upgrade it? In addition, both the MBA and MBA can provide the ethernet that the iPad can't [albeit with an add-on for the Air] and can deal with the output from my digital cameras better than the iPad can.
I installed the OS X Lion theme called "Crystal Black", and I'm really sick of it.There is no uninstaller app in the package, how can I delete it or restore the theme to the default OS X Lion theme?

I was wondering if anyone knew of a dock theme or hack that I could install relatively painlessly on 10.6.4 that makes the Dock, when placed at the bottom, look like it does when placed on either side of the screen. I've been looking all over the place but all I've found are themes for Candybar and co. that make the reflective bottom area some weird different color or texture. I would like to see a theme that makes the Dock more 2D-ish and at least similar to what you see on the sides of the screen when placed there.
