Product Description:

UNO derives from the Latin word for one.


UNO is the root of Unity.


UNO is a theme that brings the sunken unified toolbar / titlebar look & feel to every single window on your system (metal or aqua, and already unified windows as well).


On an higher level, UNO's main goal is to enhance aqua interface consistence, by making all elements look and feel as one.


UNO is aimed to those who want a clean and un-osbstructive interface while keeping the best of Aqua.The unity level proposed by UNO does not compromises overall GUI contrast: UNO and UNO shade can be mixed up in order to achieve that usability goal.


UNO also fixes some Blue/Graphite appearance inconsistencies.


Please check interacto.net GUI section for screenshots, FAQs and more info.

What's new in this version:

Version 1.5.2:
  • Support for Mac OS X 10.4.10 or newer (except Leopard).
  • Added full support (UNO Blue; UNO Graphite; UNO Shade Blue; UNO Shade Graphite and LCD fix) for iTunes 7.3.1, while maintaining support for iTunes 6 (6.0.2 or later).
  • Fixed an issue that would produce an error when uninstalling if current iTunes version was newer than the one available when UNO was installed.
  • UNO no longer tries to change iTunes if its version is unknown (no more "blank music panel").
  • Fixed UNO behavior escaping spaces on paths on Japanese systems. This misbehavior was preventing UNO from being installed. (the oldest UNO bug is now fixed thanks to Yuji Tachikawa - (http://homepage.mac.com/yujit_achikawa/))
  • Added Japanese localization courtesy of Yuji Tachikawa.
  • Only MD5 is now used for self integrity verification (CRC32 checks were removed because there are a lot of users with "messed up" Perl setups, therefor unable to run CRC32 nor install UNO).
  • Removed the "Uninstall" option. Now UNO uninstallation relies exclusively on the Backup that it creates at "/Library/Application Support/interacto.net/UNO/guifix/ ". Please keep your backup healthy ;-) and use the "Restore from Backup" option to get rid of UNO.
  • Removed all the original GUI resource files from UNO's bundle.
  • Reorganized toolbar.
  • Changed the DMG background.
  • Updated online FAQs and ReadMe.
  • Correct the "Bundle ID".
  • Other code optimizations and cleanup.

Installing UNO 1.5.2 on a Mac with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and QuickTime 7.3 disables the QuickTime player ability to show any kind of video because there is no video frame inside the players window.

To correct this you have to install the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Updater followed by the QuickTime 7.3 standalone installer.

(tested on an iMac G5 2.0 and a PowerBook 12" 1.33 GHz)

With Mac OS X, Apple introduced the new Aqua interface. Then Metal. Then the iTunes metal look.

They're all nice, but they also all offer slightly different visual cues, and different draggable areas, and different clickable areas. I find this ever so slightly annoying.

Uno fixes Apple's fragmented interface. With Uno, you get one look, the iTunes Unified look, across the whole operating system. This creates not only visual consistency, but behavioral consistency, too. The Unified look is not my favorite, but having one consistent interface, everywhere, makes up for the minor visual deficiencies.
