It's out there. Check ResExcellence.com, or search for "Mac OS 9 Themes" on Google. I've had it before, but I haven't run 9 in years... so... yeah. Even when I did, I used the default Platinum appearance.

Classic apps - how 1999!

Get with the program - X marks the spot.

I've only got one classic app left, Photoshop 5.5. Only reason I don't have new version... I don't have the $$ to get a new one!

Hello, piracy?  It's free and only slightly dangerous.

Personally, I got the gimp, less hassle.   Oh yeah, and Fireworks is pretty damn cheap.

How to get the OSX aqua theme on a System 9 machine.

Insert a Tiger install cd and reboot, making sure to hold down the "c" key after the startup sound. Then install classic support. That'll cost you 120$, but it's worth it.

$120 for a theme?  Give me a fucking break.

Not just a theme though...

Does anyone know of any old Macintoshes that could run System 7.5?

I have the CD here and I am dying to get it running again.

If I remember correctly, the original fruity iMacs worked rather well with 7.x

Nope.  You have to go pre-G3 to run 7.5.  And the last of those would sometimes only run 7.6.

Oops, my bad.  I guess that was OS8.  Which sucked, imho.  But in searching for information, I did find a link to a place that will sell you an old-school iMac for $300, which is not a bad deal.

The original bondi iMac ran 8.1. The second revision bondi ran 8.5. I think the last thing to run 7.anything was the Powerbook G3 (3500), not the Wallstreet with the 14" screen, but the little dinky one before it. All the first-run G3s require 8.0, but really hunger for 8.5.
