*Little package I made*

You will still keep the Leo default theme :)

It's the same as what I used in the pic. above!

thanks dude! looks awsome! i rlly hope i dont have to restart i just got my sound working, it always stops when i restart >.<

@SaCleoCheater: Your package doesn't seem to work on my Mac. It only changes the MacOSX.tif file (to white Mac OS X lettering).

Perhaps the reason is a permission issue of the new AboutThisMac.nib?

Mine is themed like that as well, however, I want to get the glossy buttons back instead of the matte buttons (they are so ugly):

Anyone know how? I've asked all over and no one seems to want to help with that.

I'm not sure if it's possible, but did you already try to edit your AboutThisMac.nib with Interface Builder?

You can find it at the following path For me, it's

Yeah, I open up the .nib in Interface Builder but I'm not familiar with it at all and I don't know how to get it working how I need it.

EDIT: Ok, I think I figured out how to change it's looks, however it wont let me scale the glossy button like it will the regular round rectangular button.

EDIT 2: Well, thanks to a friend, I figured it out.

To do it, you need the Developer's Tools installed. Open up the "About this mac" nib, and Interface Builder will open up. I'm working on another nib right now, so I will use that as an example.

To change text color, click the text you want to change and then scroll down in the Attributes window and click the text color.

umm i installed it, and now About this Mac wont even open... i click it and nothing happens...

Wouldn't have thought so..

Works for me :/

Here's how to make it work.. cp /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/AboutThisMac.nib to /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/

Should then work :)

Oh no...

Does terminal open w/ out problem?
