    The tool used to install this, shapeshifter does not work on leopard, will it ever?

    Sorry if this is against the forum rules, mods feel free to delete, and I am sorry.

    Shapeshifter used to be a commonly used program for skinning/ moding the UI of Mac's pre-leopard. Unfortunately, Shapeshifter is discontinued. Till date, there hasn't been a replacement for it due to which customizing leopard has been virtually non-existant.

    This is in the offing -

    It's touted to be the "shapeshifter' for leopard, unfortunately, it's been in the "coming soon" stage for too long; It was touted to be released in October. Keep your fingers crossed.
    I'm quite tired of the Leopard UI myself, and can't wait for a proper custom theme app.

    Yes, there aren't any programs out like Shapeshifter for Leopard ATM.

    If you are just ITCHING for some customization, I suppose you could always check out little programs like Dock Dr. or Candybar, but they are certainly no substitute.
