duality 4 or themeswitcher?

so.... torn.... I didn't vote, I haven't decided yet. I have been trying out theme switcher for about a week now and its good, but it seems to lack the polish of duality, both have major hang quirks though. an "undecided" or "both suck" category SO should have been in that poll.

some call it themechanger.....namely, the authors

Duality is a bit bloated for me, but then again themechanger won't wok for me. I switch manually.

Care to explain exactly what doesn't work?

Give us more details..

I call it ThemeChanger too! And I like it!

sudo cp ...
sudo cp ...
sudo cp ...
<take a break>
sudo cp ...

sudo cp ...

Get the picture?

Oh, you meant ThemeChanger not working?

Works fine for me, although I find it odd that resource-based switching sometimes takes upwards of a minute to apply, and other times takes only a second or two. This is with SmoothStripes Square 2.0.4; plain square take a minute or two, smoothstripes square transparent menus is nearly instantaneous.

BTW, I downloaded your source a week ago and many of the source files were missing. Has it been updated?

Oh, I forgot to include CSWResourceFork and CSWResource. Silly me. Of course, nobody told me, so I couldn't fix it. Too late now, have to wait until the next release.

Clicking the little lock does nothing for me, so I can't switch themes. I'm using the root user so maybe it has something to do with that.

Oh, yes, of course. Security framework doesn't seem to work with the root user. Using root in the GUI is a bad idea for this (and other) reasons. However, I'm surprised Duality works in that case. Oh well, the entire authorization architecture is going to be revamped in v13.

The only Reason I keep to Duality is because it's a prefpane.

Nobody has expressed an interest in ThemeChanger being a prefpane (yet). It'd be very easy to do, though.

Do it!
