Guides on emulating older applications
ShapeShifter is a haxie (Mac OS X hack) in the form of an Application Enhancer (APE) plugin for Mac OS X that allows the user to make system-wide modifications to the appearance of the operating system's graphical interface by applying GUI skins through “injection” into running code and without modifying system files, very much like Kaleidoscope or WindowBlinds. It uses GUIKit files (called “themes”) which can contain interface elements, desktop backgrounds and icons. (Wikipedia)

Download #7 It's an added archive of 71 ShapeShifter themes, most of which comes from the MacGui site. They have dedicated pages for ShapeSifter themes. unfortunately majority were hosted on external servers, authors sites or now dead old ResExcellence forums and others… these I couldn't find a way to get them.
But, about a third is hosted on the MacGui site server, grabbed the ones not included and/or of different versions than in Download #6 and posted here as a single archive with MacGui's agreement. Note each theme previews are visible on the MacGui dedicated pages.
Download #8 Program Registration File. Should be able to drop into /Library/Preferences (NOT the ~/ home Library) to get the program unlocked.
