Is ShapeShifter the only solution to customizing a Mac? Aren't there any free solutions?
There are free solutions, but all of them directly swap out resource files, which has two disadvantages: 1) Bloody dangerous, and 2) Because you're merely swapping out images, you have to keep the sizes the same.

ShapeShifter basically tells an application while it's launching to "get your resources from here instead of there", thus leaving the real resource files untouched, making it crash- and problem-proof. You wouldn't believe how risky themeing was before SS came out.

Also, SS allows themeing capabilities that a resource swapper can't provide. For example, text colors are normally hard-coded into OS X apps, so there's no resource "file" per se to swap out. But SS can basically tell the app to use something else.

Nothing is free with a Mac.
Spare me. It's starting to get really annoying.

I don't see 500mhz and 256mb of RAM fearing well with XP. Within the next month I should have Windows 2000 Professional on there.
Best OS Microsoft ever made. Orders of magnitude better than XP.
 
Here is my current desktop: Bugatti Veyron :crazy: :sly: :bowdown:
(Sorry for the amount of smilies, but there are really not enough (good) words to describe how much I love this car - anyone wants to help me buy one? :D I have a paypal account if anyone wants to chip in some change! :sly: )

EDIT: Sorry, didn't read the requirements :boggled: I had to edit the picture.
EDIT II: The horizontal black bars are added on purpose, to make the picture look more panoramic and to allow room for the icons on top (I don't like having icons ON TOP of the picture) and room for the taskbar on bottom (I set it up to automatically hide whenever it's not used)

The Wizard.

Actually, they're just foglamp/turn signal pods, but yeah, very cool. I always loved the Mazdaspeed front end. I can't find any info on this thing - the side says "GT Concept"...I take it this sexy little number never made it off the drawing board? I would so devote my life to pursuing the ownership of one of these if it were real.
 
Hmmm...seems to me like I'm forming my own AE86Driver-like obsession. Just real Asian chicks. :D I've got a folder just for them and my collection is growing.

 
Mine looks like this...


ITR - Hope you don't take offense, but she looks skanky to me. Oh well, to each his own.
 
*yawns* ahhhh =O...I would say more right now,but I'm really tired -.-'...soooo...I hope you enjoy the wallpaper. It is from one of Kikumaru-chan's new albums that was released "recently" (actually November 2004) and has my favorite scenerio as the cover :lol:. Kikumaru-chan brushing his teeth :embarrassed:. Well..anyways...keep up the good work Integra and everyone else. I wish you luck with your growing collection ^.^!
