Let’s say the system is looking for Widget.tiff. Normally, Widget.tiff is stored at a specific place on your HD. When the OS goes to look for it though, SS will intercept and point it to the new file. And as rhythmicmoose said, it doesn’t matter whether the system is looking for the file to draw as a widget, or if you’re looking at the file in the Finder or Preview – SS will still do its quick interception and point to a file that isn’t actually in that spot.

What would happen if I was running a ShapeShifter theme and I decided to un-install ShapeShifter from my System without first re-applying the Aqua theme? What would happen if I manually uninstalled ShapeShifter while a theme was applied... could I log out and log back in and see that it's automatically back to Aqua? And then... would those files still be in that folder? |
In both cases, you’d be back to Aqua, and no, the alternate theme files won’t be in those spots, because they never were to begin with. They are never physically there – they only appear there, because that’s what SS is telling the OS to point at instead of the real files.
