We know that your eyes have been bleeding. We've heard you screaming obscenities at us. And, by gum and by gosh, we've listened!
For your occular amazement, I present ShapeShifter 2.4b1 (updated below), a public beta. It's Universal, so your Intel Mac can finally get its spank on. It's got feature-parity with the PPC version, so you can use it to apply themes from way back in the day, or customize your Intellish icons or desktops. And it's even got a big speed boost when launching and quitting the prefpane, whoot! (small print: except for the first time you launch the prefpane)
Very Important Note: This is beta software. It might kill the dolphins. It might become the mote in your eye. It might do other cleverly worded things that I'm too fried to think of right now. Long story short: Use with care, and we're not responsible if it crashes on that old G3 you were using to power gramma's pacemaker.
And, since I know people are going to ask even though I said it above, yes, this build will work fine with any old guiKit you throw at it.
Finally, please report bugs in this thread. Please do not redistribute this build, or place it on any download sites - it's beta software and will be updating rapidly. And, again, please report bugs - if you don't tell us, we don't know!
Update: Grab ShapeShifter 2.4b2 - it works around an Apple bug that causes themes using large, tiling patterns to crash Cocoa apps on launch on x86 architecture.
