i did a search in the console searchfield and typed shapeshifter and this is what it found:

SystemUIServer[234]: [Haxies Crash Guard] Looks like this application has crashed before, not loading haxie com.unsanity.shapeshifter for it.

This only happens when i reboot, i mean it changes the theme fine, but ater the menu extras load, it defaults back to aqua (just the menu extras part of the finder bar)

everything else is intact, i have to reapply the theme in order to fix it temporarily until my next reboot... not sure why this is happening, i repaired permissions already... dunno what else it can be...
