VistaOSX '09; Making iTunes and Safari match it?

[Noisemaker]

I installed VistaOSX '09 a few days ago, and I love it. My only issue, however, is that iTunes and Safari don't match it at all. Not so much color-wise or anything, it's the minimize/maximize/exit buttons. On everything else, the buttons are OSX-styled and on the left (I'm using leftsider), but Safari and iTunes remain unchanged.

How can I change iTunes and Safari's minimize/maximize/exit buttons to be OSX-styled?

Don't use safari and iTunes. At least on Windows, they're bloated, and if you're going for straight up os-x emulation, they're not even the best at it.

What are my other options then? I want the OSX look, and the functionality of Safari and iTunes.

Plus, isn't iTunes my only option since I have an iPod? I want OSX looks, but not bad enough to stop using my Touch.

Use Firefox. Skin it like Safari using either FoxDie or Grapple Yummy. For iTunes use an older version of it and use the MultiPlugin. I think it's on this site actually. There's my two cents.

Do older versions of iTunes still have cover flow?

Are either of those Firefox skins compatible with FF3?

[JBar2000]

Grapple Yummy is compatible with FF3. And the newest version of iTunes that has the MultiPlugin does support Coverflow, so you're in luck. http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=41373

You'll have to uninstall iTunes first though. You might get an error about the Library being made by a newer version of iTunes, so search for the iTunes Library in your computer and delete it and it should work.

Will I have to re-import my entire library, and then re-sync my Touch? Will changing the version of iTunes interfere with my Touch being jailbroken?

[JBar2000]

It won't interfere with your Touch. You probably will need to re-import your iTunes library though.

Ok, thanks a lot for the help, JBar. I'll post screen shots when I'm finished.

Screenshot time.

Thanks a ton for the help!

You got to make sure in your settings you have it so it doesn't check for updates. I say force quit iTunes and try to do that.

It had the mini-store set to be on.

My only issue now is that it's not recognizing my touch.

Any suggestions to get it to show up?

[Noisemaker]

I found the issue. The iPod Touch requires at least iTunes 7.4 to operate.

:facepalm:

All this work for nothing.

[JBar2000]

Well that sucks. *sigh* Oh well.

Thanks a lot for the help anyway - if it weren't for the Touch needing 7.4 or later, your advice would have been perfect for what I was looking for. At least Firefox worked out.

No problem.
