Nope, it was system wide.


Hmmm... So it changed the appearance of every application that ran (other than
games)?


That would be quite a trick, unless they changed the architecture for cocoa libraries. ANd if it had become common knowledge that it was possible to do, I would think some enterprising 3rd party developer would have reverse engineered
the capability and sold it shareware for quite a bundle.


It only worked up through 10.3 or so, then the files to change appearance were no longer an option.
