I prefer Windows over Apple or Linux (and I mean *prefer*) but one of the few things I'd love to be able to have is the flexibility of the *nix console. I don't mean the shell itself, frankly I don't like bash that much. But the flexibility. Any font, and color, any size, tabbed interface, loadable sessions, etc. Hell, before Vista the console window wasn't even themed. Who knows, maybe now that Microsoft is finding religion again and going back to the command line I'll see that happen.
Yeah, but an awful lot of Mac fans seem to scoff at the idea of using a command line in general (yes I know there are also plenty that like the pretty-gui-on-*nix too). They probably just weren't familiar with the right term.
its the same way on windows, i dont see what the big deal is, there are always hidden features and things you can do/enable that aren't done by default. if you find something useful, good for you, if you dont think this is a big deal than just stfu because nobody cares that YOU don't care.

I didn't see anything on this blog that hasn't previously been on <a class="user" href="http://www.MacOSXHints.com">http://www.MacOSXHints.com</a> , just bookmark the source for all these hints and keep up to date when the latest hidden settings are found.

There are several apps that already do. Tinker Tool, Onyx, MacPilot, and more. <a class="user" href="http://www.MacUpdate.com">http://www.MacUpdate.com</a> is a good source for Mac apps. And nearly every time a cool new hint is mentioned over at <a class="user" href="http://www.macosxhints.com/">http://www.macosxhints.com/</a> , someone comes out with a nifty stand-alone app to implement it. And then the major all-in-one apps I mentioned release updates.

If anyone cares, .75 is nice and Tiger/Aqua-like, not all dark, dank and gritty like unified.
