Making Proteus Metallic or Unified

There are a few ways in which you can make Proteus metallic or Unified. The easiest way is to download and install Metallifizer by Unsanity software, which you can find at their website, http://www.unsanity.com/ Alternatively, you can manually alter Proteus yourself.


How do I manually make Proteus metallic/unified?

First install the developer tools off your system disks. Then control click on Proteus.app. and select "Show Package Contents". Navigate into Contents, then Resources, then English.lproj (or whatever your language might be.) Double click on icons that have a file extension of .nib and have relevent sounding names (ie. the bits you want to change.) Interface Builder will launch. Double click on the "Window" icon that shows up. Now, navigate to "Tools" in the menu bar and select "Show Inspector". Click the appropriate check box: "Has Texture" for metal or "Unified title/toolbar look" for unified (Tiger only.) Save and close. Launch Proteus - it should all be different! Remember, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. If you're nervous, try editing just one at a time and launch Proteus between each edit - that way, you'll know where you made a mistake if you do! If an error message comes up in Interface Builder to do with pallettes, by the way, best skip that NIB file.
