Theme-Manager for Leopard

Magnifique is an application that changes the themes of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard at the flick of a switch. In just a few clicks, you can have a totally new look on your Mac.

Best of all, it's completely free but note that it doesn't come pre-installed with themes. You have to download them from the developer's site where you'll find 17 different ones to choose from. If you're a developer, Magnifique can also help you distribute your own themes. In fact, it's a perfect tool for developers that need to find a wider audience for their themes and work.

The interface is fairly self explanatory but the Add Theme button allows you to add themes to your library while the Remove Theme button deletes the selected theme from your themes directory. Make Theme is aimed at developers who want to create their own theme. Refreshing the theme list will add or remove any themes you added or removed while Magnifique is running. Finally, Restart Finder will allow you to see the effects of changing a theme although this is like killing the Finder process in activity manager which I don't like doing at the best of times. Restart Dock does exactly the same thing with the Dock.

Magnifique is an interesting tool although it should be used with care. If you apply a theme and it damages your default OS X theme there's little you can do so make sure you've backed up everything first.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
