Well the final is out now. Changes:
  • Now searches for Themes in Library in all domains (~, /, /Network, /System), in correct order. Of course, you shouldn't put stuff in /System/Library/Themes, and probably won't put stuff in /Network/Library/Themes, but it looks there anyway :-)
  • Ignores themes with names starting "." - these are generally broken Duality internal things.
  • Automatic Aqua back-up.
  • Switching code factored out to a tool. A side-effect of this is that previewing is much more robust since we now know when things happen rather than having to take a guess. The app verifies the tool has not been tampered with against a build-time checksum.
  • ThemePreview source is now included, and was modified to make sure it's the front process after it's launched (workaround for oddity when launching it from ThemeChangerTool).
  • Now authorises using the "system.preferences" right, so no need to keep reauthorising if you're an admin user.
  • Enhanced status readout.
  • Installs tool to repair theme files if they become corrupted ("tcfix").
  • Installs Aqua before switching themes, so there will never be a mix of components from different themes.
  • Restarting the Finder is now a user preference.
  • Can optionally restart the Dock.
