Make Leopard Look A Little More Like Tiger

Did you prefer OS X Tiger’s cute lightness to Leopard’s graphite grey? There’s two small terminal switches you can use to get leopard to look like this:

Open up Terminal (Applications -> Utilities) and enter these two commands:

defaults write -g AppleUseCoreUI -bool NO

and:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUseLeopardWindowValues NO

Log out and then back in and you should see the changes. If you want to revert back to Leopard’s look, you just need to replace NO with YES in the terminal commands and run them again.

PS: This also works with Snow Leopard.
