UNO 1.5

I've never used UNO, but understand the desire to even out Apple's weird (to me) design choices for windows of late. Whatever happened to the Human Interface Guidlines?

My feeling is that brushed should be used for apps that only have one main window and regular windows should be used for apps that open documents. While Apple has sort of stuck to that, it has used a regular (unified) window for Mail and multiple metal windows for the Finder. So there is no consistency from Apple themselves.

I just don't understand their thinking.

UNO is the best interface modding program out there.
The new version is not without its problems, though: It doesn't remember preferences, so I had to go in several times to "remind" it to leave my widget library thing with the dots, and to give me back my original text selection color

...but all in all, UNO is the best!!!!

I'm going to give Uno a try as I used to use shapeshifter until it had some pretty bad system issues when it was making the move to Universal. As for firefox I use the theme iFox Smooth to give it the Unified love.

Uno is timeless, and much more classic mac like than brushed metal or most of the crap Shapeshifter junk. Not to mention consistent. That's probably why it's so classic mac, even though it doesn't come from Apple.

Apple--pre OS X--set the example for the world with its consistency. (anyone remember Applie human interface guidelines?) Now they just break their own rules and don't set an example for anyone. Hopefully Leopard will bring us back some sanity here.

no thanks? i submitted this yesterday :)

anyway, uno is fantastic. if it wasn't perfectly stable, i wouldn't bother, but i've never had a problem with it. The current OS X design elements are ok on their own, but having a mish mash [i believe that's the technical term] of several different styles for no good reason bothers me. Uno gets rid of that problem, and makes me a happy camper.

if just for the quicktime and itunes skin UNO is awesome.

I love UNO!!!111oneoneon

I also didn't like that it changed the system files, but it's a must have for me since it makes firefox usable. I couldn't stand to look at firefox before, but the uno firefox theme combination is great. Just as if firefox was an aqua app.

I actually like brushed, but initially installed UNO so that Firefox would look half-decent.

But I like the Unified look now, and use UNO system-wide. Brushed seems like a somewhat superfluous design element to me at this point, though I go back and forth on this. I do like having a little bit of texture, ala Brushed. We'll see what happens with Leopard.

UNO rocks, and is one of the first things I install on a fresh system.

I'm very grateful for a free solution that doesn't involve ShapeShifter.
