Andrew’s Mac Tips Weblog

The hack that I tried below had a few glitches related to Open and Save dialogs, so I took it off. Since then I got a tip to try Uno. There was very little documentation with Uno except to say that it would move some system files to one side and then replace them with its own; the result being a new unified look to the interface.

If I didn’t like the result I could run the installer again and choose to uninstall. That would take things back to standard OSX.

Gulp. I gave it a try, and it works a treat. Now all windows have a smooth satin-like look to them. No more horizontal lines — no more brushed metal.

I’ll try it for a couple of weeks to see if any unpleasant surprises crop up before posting it to the Mac Tips site, but so far, I’m rapt.

If you’re brave, here’s the link.
