The design of Susan’s weblog brings to mind another legal issue that surfaces now and again. How is the Mac OS X look-alike theme for Manila any different than the Kaleidoscope scheme that was summarily kiboshed by Apple a couple of months ago? As I’ve mentioned before, I think that the availability of any software that enhances or modifies the user interface to look like Mac OS X is actually good for Apple. Spread the word. Share the joy. Historically, Apple has been excruciatingly protective of Aqua, but less so of late. Maybe since the release of OS X is imminently closer than ever, the Manila themes are off the hook. Or perhaps they’ve just had their hands full keeping the wraps on a bunch of new hardware goodies.
