    Well, good news then. Everyone can do this.

    Step #1: Just clone a skin, rename it, replace the files and modify the configuration for the window style.

    Step #2 Then use MUI and create a skin using the OS4 UI elements.

    Step #3: Upload the files to aminet, ... :D

    Since I cant I would like everyone to be someone specific.
    Also would love to see it as supplied theme with OS as optional,
    not some unknown download.

    It is basically just swapping the .png files and editing one text file which contains the config.

    Then you create a mui prefs file for the rest using the UI like you would do with any MUI config change. That´s it. There is no hidden magic or tools needed.

    As I said. Look into the skins folder, clone a drawer to sys:prefs/Skins and start modifying.

    Nice flexibility of MUI5, making themes/skins is way harder on any other Amiga strain.

    Well, that´s the caveat of having a flexible system. Sure it is more complex due to the system and the mui part, but Amiga users always want to control everything. Now with MorphOS they can and it seems to be wrong all along, again.

    You can do it step by step and UI element by UI element.
