You can get the 'old blue swooshes'... just google 'em. I actually use
the Tiger swoosh on my Power Mac 8600 and also on my B/W G3 Panther, G3
iMac Panther, and G3 iBook Panther
Try DragThing dock... I still use it on my 8600

That's cool! I do miss the bright blue accents from the older systems.
10.5 and 10.6 (And especially iTunes 10) are a little on the
monochromatic grey side... I don't know why they still call it "aqua"
since the only aqua elements left are the traffic light buttons, and
the out of place blue scroll bars. "Slate" might be a better name.
The one element I miss the most from 10.4 is the dock. I really hate
that weird, glassy dock. I loved the elegance and simplicity of the
old dock (and the fact that it had boundaries - It feels like the
10.5-6 dock is trying to throw your icons onto your desktop!) I use
Tinkertool to disable the 3D dock on all my computers running 10.5 and
10.6 - And all my family's computers running it too.
I hope that in 10.7 they switch away from the pink backgrounds. I miss
the old blue swooshes. They were so elegant, and really made Macs pop.
Even the new aluminum and black Macs look a lot more classy with the
10.4 blue swoosh, rather then the dumb pink aurora.

That appears to be a very early version, all Panther except for the
Spotlight icon. The version I was referring to is more like the final
Tiger menu bar, except with the blue Spotlight icon and a matching
spot on the opposite side covering the Apple logo. Apparently it has
become incredibly hard to find any pictures of the Tiger pre release
version. The closest I can find is a video of Dashboard from the
Apple site in mid 2004 (via the Internet Archive):

By the way, I love that the calculator in that video is displaying
"1,337."

I do actually like the glossy Spotlight icon. The shipping version
didn't have the stripes in the menubar anymore. :)
