In coping with our overwhelming tendency to customize all things Mac, there’s a new application to hit that market which almost picks up where Shapeshifter left off back in those Tiger days. Magnifique is available at no charge because they “believe that theming is free, and that it should be enjoyed by everyone.”
Luis Sosa gives a cogent review on the application and makes notice that the biggest challenge for Magnifique are the same ones that ShapeShifter had:
Good design is hard. It takes a damn good designer to create so much as one good icon, let alone an entire OS theme. And at the moment, too many of the themes available for use in Magnifique are just mediocre modifications. Of old favorites.
Also, by far my favorite theme is Aqua Inspririat 2.1.
