Liger - Leopard theme for Tiger.

Version 1.6 FINAL (released 29/07/07).

This version includes the Xcode projects for both LigerDock and LigerMenubar. Please finish developing these projects, as I don't have time to currently (final semester of uni). And I would love to hear about it too -- the next time I see Leopard, I will have a new iMac with the real Leopard on it. Thanks to everyone who supported this, and thanks for all the comments. Cheers!

See http://spiderlama.wordpress.com/2007/08/20/the-liger-door-closes/ for more info.

Made to mimic Leopard.

Check out installation video Pfj_45aq9nM at youtube.

If you appreciate the work I have done on this, please support it by making a donation. This donation will go towards taking my girlfriend out to dinner, to compensate all the time I've spent working on Liger instead of being with her :P

Installation method:
1. Use ClearDock to hide the Dock background and set indicator colour white.
2. Open "Liger.guiKit".
3. Apply "Liger" them, icon set, and desktop picture.
4. Open "Liger.pkg" and follow instructions.

NOTE: If updating from previous version, please open "Uninstall.app" first.

Changes:
- LigerDock
  - Uses Quarts for fast graphics
  - can auto-hide
- LigerMenubar image improved
- Added variants
  - Opaque Menubar
  - Metal
  - Metal + Opaque Menubar
  - Added brown folder icon set
- Added some app icons
  - Xcode
  - Interface Builder
  - Terminal
  - System Preferences

Features:
- FLAWLESS TRANSPARENCY for ANY menu extras and any app!
- Nice looking menu-extras :)
- App skins for Safari and Mail! (More to come)
- Grass wallpaper!
- Icons!
- Dock (check the preview screenshot)

Known issues (working list):
- Safari v3 Beta doesn't like themes :S
- LigerDock
  - Animation jumpy
  - Only supports bottom position
- LigerMenubar
  - Transparency can't be changed
- Menubar and Dock both don't like fullscreen apps (eg. DVD Player) [you can auto-hide the Dock to fix part of the problem]

Thanks:
- Nordoc for the name (my imagination alluded me on this one)
- Zach for transparency ideas
- Lentife for killer video guides
- Bladziak for a better menu-bar image
- Everyone for their support (and donations)!

Hi,

Nice but you havn't done anything with the dock!
Thought I'd point that out, and I'd really appreciate some more app skins.

Loving the spotlight though.

Thanks,

Arran

Cool I love it now if I could find that icon package I'll be all set... and yeah that dock how do you change the dock to use different image...
~spiderlama:iconspiderlama: Jun 18, 2007, 8:39:49 PM
My next goal is to make a program that will mimic the Leopard dock, and I already have some ideas so it won't be too long.

Oh and app skins, tell me what apps you want because the ones I checked all looked good :)
~spiderlama:iconspiderlama: Jun 18, 2007, 8:40:44 PM
I had a partial icon package, but it's not complete (and quite big!) so I haven't included it yet. I might do it later when it's closer to fruition.

To make the dock "Leopard" it would take more than just a different image (see the sides of the Leopard dock that stick out further than Tiger's), but I am working on this :)

Thanks for the update with LigerEnabler.app. Now it looks exactly like Leopard!

For the Leopard dock background, you guys can use A-Dock and use this Leopard background with it: [link]

:D

But that's no good if your dock moves, isn't at the bottom, your resolution is different...i'm working on a perfect fix :)

But thanks for the support!

also, i don't really want to pay for shapeshifter, so any chance on making a theme that doesn't require it?

Thanks again
