The default theme in OS X still has, despite the change in iOS 7, lots of shades and gradient effects incorporated in the theme. This can be disabled by using a terminal command and give the finder window and a few other programs a flatter look. The resulting appearance is flatter and whiter window that’s showing brighter colors and less shadowing. Add the following command in Terminal:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUseLeopardWindowValues NO; killall Finder
Restore the default setting:
defaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSUseLeopardWindowValues
This made finder crash until i ran the second command to reset it.
I don’t think this in anyway inspired by iOS 7, this is actually how Mac OS X looked pre-Leopard.
How do you undo this in mavericks? The undo command is not working for me.
Lol, really, iOS 7 look.. more like NeXT system look.
This will work for OS X 10.5 (tested on powerpc, should work for intel as well) as well though it results in a more platinum grey appearance system wide.
