As much as I love Apple as a company, I can’t stand how they don’t even follow their own “Interface Guidelines” sometimes.

Well I’ve had it with them and their need to have iTunes on Windows being an excuse for the interface that it uses.

And the fact that it doesn’t share resources with Finder.app and other application on the Mac.

I’ve taken it upon myself to Aquafy (if thats even a term) iTunes for improved usability while not sacrificing any features that other modifications do, or performance.

My modification is simply a hacked iTunes (read iTunes not system file!) resource file. It’s modified with buttons and resources of those found on Leopard. It greatly improves usability and simply looks good. Not to mention I had to get creative in some areas and was inspired by the 2d Dock separator in one of the section dividers.

I love how the menu bar looks with the Aqua Wallpaper, it’s awsome! (Thanks to Javi!) 

“That is one sexy screenshot”, that’s what a friend/mac user/person that I appreciate said when he saw this screenshot:

Apps you can see in this screenshot are: Newsfire, Acquisition and Xtorrent by David Watanabe, Coda by Panic! and Delicious Library.

My Current Desktop:

• Leopard’s Icons
• In the Dock (after Tiger’s Bundled Apps): Aperture, Coda, Xtorrent, Toast, Pages, BluePhoneElite 2, NewsFire, Photoshop CS 3 with custom icon
• In the Menu Bar from left to right: Salling Clicker, Coversutra, BT, iChat, iSync, Airport etc..
• Background iLove for Mac Amoureux

And finally someone had the courage to upload some “secret” shots of Leopard. 

It’s a modded OS X very simple but very very nice!!!

As a fan of minimalism , all I can say is: “Less is More”.
