Hey, if any of you working in Classic don't want to "feel" like you're using an OS 9 app, email me. I have a package made by an Apple UI guy in his spare time during May of 2000; consists of an Appearance Theme and two CPs. It's now impossible to find b/c Apple caught wind of what he did and fired him, then threatened anyone and everyone distributing it out of it. It gives you a near-perfect OS X look AND feel...everywhere. Live window dragging, menu transparancies and fading, shaddowing, full Quartz anti-aliasing, just to name a few, and it's 100% as stable as using just the Apple Platinum theme, as I knew him and he perfected it for me for Jaguar ;-)
BTW, I basically have every theme, including all the Copland ones. My favs are QT4, NeXT, System 7, and BeBox. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Joey.
