Believe or not, most modern Windows laptops (post 2003) go to sleep pretty well. Granted, they are definitely not as fast as the PBs, either to go to sleep or to wake up, but they…

As esXXI says, this sounds like a general problem with your OS, not a specific ShapeShifter issue. Gerrit's anecdote about the OS suddenly "losing" the home folder or the preferen…

I really appreciate everyone's comments. There was some frustration in my post, and I was a little worried that it would be interpreted as trolling/flamebait, but I'm glad for the…

No idea about your problem (sounds more like an OS problem then a shapeshifter problem - the same thing happened to me back on Panther when I updated to 10.3.3, it would boot and l…

Well, safe boot wouldn't even work, but I was able to load the OSX install disc by holding down the option key and restarting the mini. After repairing the disc and repairing perm…

Boot up from a Mac OS X disc and remove the shapeshifter stuff. A lot of the time new stuff is put in /Library/StartupItems. If it's not there, try searching for shapeshifter. If …

A "Safe Restart" is a good option indeed, like Fonzie says. But, the same thing happened to me after the 10.4.1 update. After having been on the phone with AppleCare trying all kin…

I believe you can hold down Shift during login to not have ShapeShifter load and then uninstall ShapeShifter. Did you make sure to install APE aswell ? edit: LOL i just found the …

Better to do a search, Apple F. Search for shapeshifter and trash anything with it. The creator of the app lurks around here from time to time. You may want to email him and see i…

Yeah, I did. Same thing, blank screen. If I boot in safe mode, do I just go to the applications folder and drag the shapeshifter app to the trash?

That sounds odd. Try a restart again?

Sorry about that, just wasn't sure which forum would be best and wanted to make sure I got an answer. I didn't install any themes yet. Just the Shapeshifter application. After…

This is the third thread created on this. You'll find that one usually gets the answer you need. Personally, I've never heard of that. Which theme did you try?

How many threads are you going to create on this? There's no need to spam the site.

the command tab sorts the apps left to right in the order of what you're using most recently. As to OS X crashing - not something I'm familiar with maybe you should look into the …

my finder hardly ever crashes on me...you ever think that the reason mac os x is a lil unstable for you is that you dont know the ropes yet? this is more of a bash than a critique…

Thanks for the detailed critique. Sorry you're having some problems. I'm not going to claim Apple is perfect, but I haven't seen the same problems. I have a 12" Powerbook (rev. D) …
