CrystalClear is an interface theme for all Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard users.
The changes made possible by CCI fall within six distinct group:
· Transparency of foreground windows compared with those in the background or in other, inactive applications.
· Color of windows and some text fields.
· The Frame (or style) of various window types.
· The overall "Theme" of the Mac OS X interface (i.e., the style of buttons and other widgets).
· Miscellaneous Decorative settings, such as animations, shadows, and window "shine."
· Miscellaneous Behavioral settings, such as Single Application Mode (SAM), window resizability, and toolbar customizability.
All of these features are accessed using the CCI Preferences Panel, which you can summon using the keyboard shortcut Cmd-' (command-apostrophe) or by accessing the CCI Global Menu.
The global menu appears as a small, round icon in the menubar of any application in which CCI is loaded. The accompanying screenshot shows where CCI's menu appears in TextEdit.
