If you were around the Mac customization scenespecifically on the now-defunct MacThemes.netaround 2007, you probably remember a little project called iLeopard. Admittedly, the chance that youre in that extremely specific niché is incredibly small.

After dozens of restarts, and a couple corrupted OS installs, I had figured out a good chunk of the building blocks making up Leopards UI. Even still, after weeks of this, there was still so much to be done. Bear in mind, there was no documentation on any of this stuff.
