Apple Geek 15 Posted March 20, 2009 I don't think it is possible, that is why no one is responding... Apple Geek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolphbucs 2 Posted March 20, 2009 That's what I thought when I first read the post. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, skinning has never been that popular on Mac apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huskermn 33 Posted March 20, 2009 Skins does seem to be more of a Windows thing (I think, because Windows isn't as naturally good-looking as Mac OS) but I did find this - Mac GUI City - which might fit the thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iRMac 0 Posted March 20, 2009 Wow Huskermn, that is exactely what I wanted, thankyou every much, much now I open the file and it contains darktunes.rtf and itunes.rsrc. What should I do from here any more ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolphbucs 2 Posted March 20, 2009 The website doesn't tell you how this skin should be applied. It has instructions for other items but not for iTunes skins. Plus, even if it had instructions I would be very careful ... note that the skin you speak of is designed for iTunes 7.6, and iTunes current version is 8.1. The way the skin is applied is that you probably have to replace a file within the iTunes pkg with the downloaded file but there is probably a reason why more people don't skin iTunes on a Mac. I wouldn't mess with it .... it could cause you issues in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huskermn 33 Posted March 21, 2009 I make no claims to knowing anything about how it works. I just found what I thought might be the desired information. If I were IRMac, I'd subscribe to the forum where the file(s) reside and learn from that community. I'd also ask about the issues Dolphbucs raises. Personally, I'm not interested in skins, in general, but I am an old geek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am by no means saying that I did it correctly, but by replacing the file already in the iTunes package with the one I downloaded, it did not work. But luckily, a simple replace of the original file and all was normal again. Apple Geek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
