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.

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


Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Bug reporting as well... Please drop a line here.

What's new in this version:

  • UNO is now Universal Binary (ready for Intel/PPC architecture based Macs) - thanks to Colin Cornaby for Extras2Extras2.
  • Introduced UNO shade (a slightly darker variation of UNO).
  • New customize panel with live preview (it is now possible to, optionally, assign any variation of UNO and/or the default Aqua UI look to diferent GUI elements. Overall GUI contrast can be achieved by mixing UNO with UNO shade).
  • Added "guifix", a troubleshooting restore option ála ThemeChanger's "tcfix". (If something goes wrong, press "command + s" during boot to enter single user mode and enter "guifix" at prompt. "guifix" will check you disks for errors, fix them if any, restore your GUI files from backup and reboot.)
  • Uninstall should now be fail-proof. Added "Uninstall" in addition to "Restore from Backup".
  • Merged iTuno with UNO (UNO concept is now ONE download).
  • UNO is rebuild against new UI resources file (requires Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later).
  • Changed OS version check method (some Tiger systems upgraded from Panther were being miss identified as 10.3).
  • Added iTunes version check (requires iTunes 6.0.2 or later).
  • Fixed iTunes bottom corners - thanks to Ephica (were a bit jagged).
  • Added compatibility with Firefox 1.5.x and Thunderbird 1.5.x.
  • Refined unified toolbar gradient.
  • Reduced Spotlight and Apple menu items size by 20%.
  • Enhanced UNO integration with Firefox to be more compatible with 3º party themes - thanks to Aronnax.
  • Reduced the slightly dimmed title text on some metal windows (reduced, not fixed).
  • Fixed a tone mismatch between text background and window background (was notorious at iTunes advanced preferences panel; WorkStrip about panel; ...).
  • Fixed a glitch found on metal drawers (a horizontal gradient overlay was present).
  • Added Install, Uninstall, Restore from Backup, Remove guifix and More Info menu items.
  • Other minor installer enhancements.

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.
