Is there a way to change the look (skins) of your windows on Mac OSX?

hello,
I'm new to the whole mac thing. I don't own one yet, but I hope to soon. But I've wondered if there was a way to changed the look of the windows on Mac OSX. Sorta like using WindowsBlinds from StarDock on the PC? With WindowBlind I can make my windows resemeble OSX or BeOS, Linux, or anything that the skin designers choose (windowsblinds.net).
Is there a similar program for OSX?
Thanks,
Jeff

Have a look at this.ShapeShifter
Just keep in mind what Klaus1 had to say about your system. So have a backup incase things go wrong.

Arggggh I just had a nightmare whilst being awake!
Wow, one interface change in iCal and you Mac world falls apart? I have not even noticed the change to it over the other great features included in Lion. Not a hiccup, increased stability and speed on all my Macs, Loving Mission Control, iCloud is a great selling point and Mountain Lion, due out later in the year will yet again change the face of Computing forever. Windows is following along the same path, struggling to keep up (yes I run Windows as well - trecherous isn't it!), but yet we are all doomed because a handful of people don't like the leather bound look of Address Book which will probably change again in ML if a hack isn't written in the meantime. Petty arguement here. Just give feedback to Apple, I am sure it is on the top of their agenda.
Good Luck

I agree and very disappointed with the look of this Photoshop elements 9 screen

Is there any way to change the look of forms.

I would like to know if there is a way to change the way forms look. For example to have a round form instead of square. Or some functionality like skins used on major MP3 players.
Thanks

see skin Look & Feel, search for skin LF in google

Is there a way to change the look of Yosemite?

While I appreciate the new functionality of Yosemite - I love that it interacts with my phone and iPad - I despise the user interface. Make and sell a patch that makes it look like 10.9 - I'd buy it and I'm probably not the only one. I spend so much time in front of the computer that I want to like the design.
While you're at it, make one for the phones and iPads too - I'm sure many like the newer versions of iOS, but I think the user interface is hideous. Let people choose and personalize the look.

I agree Yosemite is awful. For one thing the active buttons are now gray! Now I get to teach my whole family that "grayed out" now means active?
To continue: having to mouseover to see choices is a bad user interface.
The whole look and feel are dumbed down yet caters to someone who already knows where they are doing.
The icons look Grade School. As a web designer, I like color and depth. Now I see a screen that is the opposite.
Maybe before I get started, I should ask you what there IS to like about the new look.

HT2513 Is there a way to change the ugly faux leather look in ical?

Just curious if there were a way to change the look of the ical from that ugly faux leather look. I'm surprised there isn't options from mac. Its rare something ugly is ever put out, no less, with out the option to change it. Looks to me like they need to allow other users to create skins for this.

Yes there is John.
But its hack/method isn't sanctioned by AAPL.
Lindsay, this should be safe but back up first as there are no guarantees. Be aware that it may break code signing amongst other things.
Google is your friend here, that's how I found it, if I remember exactly where I'll post.....

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export. TX

Is there a way to change the LUt extension form .CUBE to .cube. on export with this script in photoshop For MAC:
Chris Cox wrote:
The file extensions are written by the export plugin. (which incidentally has a comment that two studios wanted all caps extensions, but I failed to write down which ones in the comments)
To change the filenames, you'd want to add something at the end of doExportLUTs() that uses the supplied path and substitutes the desired extensions, then renames the file.
Thank you
// Export Color Lookup Tables automation in JavaScript

// 150 works, 160 fails -- sent samples in email to Apple on Nov 8, 2013; they are investigating
// DEFERRED - right to left filenames (Arabic) come out wrong because of appending "RGB" and file extensions
// This seems to be a bug in JavaScript's handing of strings, not sure we can solve it easily.

Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture

Is there a way to change the addresses used in an existing iMessage thread?

This is kind of a multi-part question. Let me describe my scenario.
I have many iMessage threads with other iPhone users where the "reply" addresses for one or both ends are the phone *numbers* instead of AppleID email addresses. (This could be due to a number of factors... either they had their "Start new conversations from" address set to their phone number, and/or they started a new conversation with me sending it to my phone number. How it *got* that way doesn't really matter). I want to be able to change the addresses of the conversation to AppleID's (so that I'll still get messages when I change SIM cards, among other reasons).
With iOS 8's new ability to add/remove people from conversations, I thought I would be able to add the AppleID address and remove the phone number address, but there are two problems with that: 1) iOS 8 seems to only allow this for conversations which began as multi-person conversations, and 2) it doesn't seem to want to let you add addresses for people who are already recipients via another address (in other words, if Alice is already on the conversation via her phone number, I can't add her AppleID to the conversation). I guess I could remove the person first, and then re-add them with the other address... but I'd feel safer if I could add the next one before removing the first one.
I know I could just tell the other person to delete our thread and start a new one, but I don't want to lose all of our dialogue and pictures (and I don't want to have to manually save it).
So, the questions:
Is there a way to change the address my counterparty is sending to when they make further replies to our conversation?
Is there a way to change the address I send to when I make further replies to the conversation?
Is there a way to change the default address to use when trying to send someone an iMessage? (What I'm after here is a way to craft my "contact" entry in people's phones so that, when they try to send a message to me and start typing my name, my preferred address comes up on top).
As it looks like the only way to do this might be to use iOS 8's method of adding/removing recipients, is there a way of converting a two-person conversation into a multi-person one?

I think I may have solved it, actually. I find that if I switch the timecode to NDF in the source viewer, it seems to work. I have tried it on three clips and they have sync'd without problems. Hopefully this will continue to be the case.

Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once?

Hi all,
I'm working with good old Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
Is there a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips all at once? If I have a large group of clips in my timeline that are all the same duration, once I've selected them all in a group, can I somehow change the frame number duration of all the clips at the same time?
I've found other things that can be done to a group of clips at the same time, but I can't find a way to change the duration of a group of selected clips.
Thanks,
digi

Thanks Jim and Bill,
In my efforts to work around the problems with the distortion and horizontal interlace lines that come when using the Motion Settings, I'm doing stop frame animation with hundreds and hundreds of layers in PSDs in multiple files placed in hundreds of one, four and six frame sections in Premiere, so if I find that I need to change the number of frames per clip in hundreds of consecutive clips (not actual duration of speed changes), then I need to pull out the right side of hundreds of frames after first moving them apart enough to allow for changing them if I'm making them longer.
These animations are different from the rotating reel animations in that they are for laterally moving subjects that are long streams of moving graphics and photos.
I read about "clip nesting", but I think that only applies to clips or groups of clips that are the same, whereas my clips are each from different imported layers times 125 or so, consecutively placed one after another to create the laterally moving stop frame animation.
Now I've tried johnbmx4christ's alternate method of creating rotations that was just posted on the other thread about the rotation distortion, but that method results in the same oblong distortion and messed up looking horizontal interlace lines.
What a can of worms.
Thanks,
digi

Is there a way to change the categories in the Personal Finance Template

I am trying to use the Personal Finance Template rather than developing one for myself. Is there a way to change the Cateorgies that are listed in the template? Those don't work for me!

In fact, the categories ARE NOT popups:
Hi Wayne,
Well, then, if that is true on your machine, then I guess your Numbers 3.1 came with a different template than my Numbers 3.1!
Those sure DO look like Pop-Up Menu to me.
The template works by having the two tables work together, with the category values matching, as you pointed out. For that to happen, you've got to manage Pop-Up Menu in one of the tables. So don't you think my advice might possibly be helpful?

Is there a way to change the font color for emailing and the signature?

Is there a way to change the font color with email signature on the iPhone and iPad?
I changed the color in Word on my laptop, emailed and copied to my signature, but it converts it back to black........

Looks like you didn't get a reply on your post, but it is still a problem. Font size is supposedly changeable via "Accessibility" in Settings, but it doesn't work. You can turn on "Zoom".

Is there a way to change the automatic optimization of the Thumbnail images in Webgallery?

Is there a way to change the automatic optimization of the Thumbnail images in webgallery found in Photoshop (CS3 or Photoshop elements-- I have both)? The thumbnails come out so blurry that it's embarrassing (for an art site). Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Your websites look great! You are to be complimented on your fine design work.
I've been doing custom sized thumbnails, at around 300px, but they are still a little blurry, like when JPEGs are over optimized and some isolated areas look like they are churning, one shape melting into another like boiling water. Then, I tried even larger thumbnails, and then shrunk them to a smaller size using HTML commands, hoping that shrinking them smaller would help tighten up the blurry churning areas. They looked a little better, but the churning areas remained. When I open up the individual thumbnails in Photoshop and I try using the unsharp mask or the sharpen function, it gets even worse.

Is there a way to change the xml message generated by JDeveloper Proxy

Hi,
I have created jax-ws proxy client using JDeveloper 10g. I need to change the generated xml message tags. I need to remove the namespace prefix tags from the xml message. For ex: the current request message looks like this:
<ns0:EMPLOYEE_NAME>John</ns0:EMPLOYEE_NAME>
should be
<EMPLOYEE_NAME>John</EMPLOYEE_NAME>
without the nso prefix.
How can I do that? Please help me.
Thanks.
