ThemeShooterX is a Mac OS X version of ThemeShooter (Universal Binary, 32bit PPC and 32/64bit Intel). It should run under Leopard and Snow Leopard and might also run under Tiger, but it was not tested.

There are a few differences to the original application:

Each opened theme gets its own window including a preview.
You can choose 4:3 and 16:9 (widescreen).
Preferences (changed preferences only affect new opened windows):
- Draw a pointer (hand) on Themeshots.
- Draw the description defined in theme.xml on Themeshots.
- Adjustable blur effect on Themeshots to get a TV-like look.
- Use application database (see below).

User guide

ThemeShooterX contains a database including several applications (name, description, icon).

You can add/delete applications to/from the database in the preferences window.

If turned on, random applications from the database will be drawn on Themeshots instead of "Lorem Ipsum" text.
