Colin Cornaby has posted XMorph Public Preview 1, which allows "theming" in OS X: "I am currently building XMorph's successor, Duality. Unlike XMorph, Duality does not have to be run in Root. I have also built Theme Builder 1.0." [links updated]

    Theme Builder Manual

    Documentation is being written right now. I'm busy with a lot of projects and tests, so I will probably have it out by this weekend. (Also, note that all elements to a theme do not have to be supplied. Elements not supplied will be substituted from Aqua.) Basically, Theme Builder will take files, and put them together to form a TPKG which XMorph can read. You can create simple themes using Extras.rsrc files avalible here:

    http://www2.fwi.com/~thefreys/Xhacked/downloads/Unlined%20Series.pkg.sit.hqx

    The themes are in a Package and then a Pax archive, so you'll need OpenUp to get at the files.
