Want to freshen up the look of Tiger and iTunes? Well, you've got at least two options that seem to work reliably well and look simply gorgeous. I personally like [Iridium](http://sagefire.org/category/software/iridium/?ref=chrismessina.me) for its simplicity ([also for iTunes](http://sagefire.org/files/iridium/IridiumTunes-1.3.1.dmg?ref=chrismessina.me)) and the fact that it's [open source](http://www.macopensource.com/?ref=chrismessina.me). Still, the fuller featured [UNO](http://gui.interacto.net/?ref=chrismessina.me) might also pique your fancy. Both were [recently](http://sagefire.org/2006/04/25/iridium-a-universal-theme-installer/?ref=chrismessina.me) [released](http://gui.interacto.net/index.php?option=com%5Fcontent&task=view&id=32&Itemid=33&ref=chrismessina.me) as Universal Binaries.
