I'm using BBX Mercury 1.0 at the moment since I decided to try all the theme stuff for two weeks before I wiped the powerbook for Tiger....It's not bad but you can get used to anything after a few days....

First job with Tiger will be to change the icons in Mail 2....

I tried different themes, but found aqua (the default) to be the best for usability. No surprise. But theming is very important. You can notice that the default themes by apple are always taking the best ideas and elements from the themes out there, so in a way all themers are contibuting to the next version of the default theme.

If I had a company, I would include the OS theme in the corporate identity guidelines and I would create a specific theme for the company which is both usable and reflects the company image. If you theme cars, why not theme monitors. Some started doing that, like at Coke you can see Coke screen savers, desktops and iconsets, but not full themes yet.

Since using tiger I've not really used many themes, just os x hacks like changing dock color and small things like that, but when i do use shapeshifter (on my work's computer ) i use cappuccino , its a really easy on the eye theme. mmmm smoooth cappuccino :)

I've been using Xanthic's TiSuite for quite some time now. Works for me, yet sometimes I'll change the icon sets.

I've been using Siro in Panther (at work) for a long time now.

But at home in Tiger, I love Powder:
