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:

  • Fixed iTunes 7 skin LCD frequency spectrum visualizer (was left un-themed) on iTunes 7.1 and 7.1.1. Please note that the LCD frequency spectrum visualizer colors are "hardcoded" in the binary itself and not simply images. UNO makes a backup of your iTunes binary; copies it to a temp folder; changes the color values (106 hex values); if no errors occurs UNO check the MD5 of the resulting file; and only if the verification succeeds UNO will copy it to the final destination. UNO will not even attempt to do this patch if the iTunes version is unknown.
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent UNO from functioning correctly at first launch if User had never changed Appearance Options in System Preferences (UNO would be looking for a non existing key).
  • Made all file handling less dependent on environment variables (this enhances reliability on systems with "messed up" environment variables).
  • Assigned "Enter/Return" key to "Install" and "OK" buttons. Assigned "Esc" key to "Cancel" buttons. (This allow less mouse clicking and is a temporary workaround to allow UNO installation on 800x600 setups by pressing "Enter" at the "Install" panel).
  • Code cleanup and UI cleanup.Removed unused UI elements and unused code blocks left over from a experimental feature that could be the culprit of a rare problem.
  • Updated French localization by Thomas Didrel (http://tototoolco.com/)
  • Updated Chinese localization by Jimmy Ti.
  • Updated German localization by Andre Hoffmann (http://effzehn.de/)
  • Small menubar itemsĀ  (20% reduction) are back by popular request. This is temporally available in the form of an alt version - check UNO downloads section. This alt version is only temporary because next version of UNO will integrate this elements (and other elements) as options.

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.
