ThemePark is an application to design the graphic elements that make up the GUI. You'd typically save this TP file as a guiKit, ready to apply using ShapeShifter.
ShapeShifter is a System Preference Pane where you can drag-and-drop guiKits to, in order to apply them on your computer interface.
Guikits can contain graphic elements like buttons, but also iconsets, desktop pictures, cursors…
As of me, a few warnings perhaps :
- prior to a System update or Security update, I always follow these steps :
1° set theme and icons to default aqua (using ShapeShifter)
2° log out and in
3° repair permissions
4° apply update
5° repair permissions
6° apply theme (using ShapeShifter)
7° log out and in
- my backup/synchronize app seems to check on app icons (yes I do backup my App folder because of the numerous stationary files, libraries…). If p.e. iTunes is updated, I need to perform a backup/sync action between steps 5 and 6 above.
