that changes your GUI to be Aqua-ish.

I don't think there is one that makes it look exactly like Aqua, because of Apple's strangehold on 3rd-party imitations of it. However, just for fun and frolic, here are some schemes that imitate (and damn near perfectly, at that!) various GUI's.

The Liquid theme does that for 8.6 and up. There was an AquaX III scheme that used to do that also. You can get this stuff at http://buryme34.tripod.com/kschemes.html

Appearance themes are much better than Kaleidoscope, IMHO...but then again, if you're not running Mac OS 8.5 or later, you don't have many options for GUI customization...

I don't quite trust that Liquid theme, though, and it doesn't have the cool transparency effects of AquaX III. When I put the Liquid theme on my 5400 running 8.6, the Appearance control panel wouldn't open any more and everything started to crash. I had to delete the Liquid theme so it would default back to Platinum. Maybe it's just my luck, but...

Word on the street is that with each OS, Appearance got increasingly stable...but then again, some themes just plain-out crash no matter what version OS you're using...
