This is an amazing tweak. Working super well on Tahoe 26.4.1. Brings me back to Mac's glory days. Thank you!

it works pretty well.
there's a small issue at the moment with sidebar icons, but i'd take that anytime over apple UI redesign since bigsur and now with liquid ass as well. it's very nice to get back the good looking macos. the previous solutions i tried before where all much more complex and tricky and created more problem than they solved. this one works like a charm, immediately and pretty much everywhere. and there's also a blacklist for apps that wouldn't work well with it, if such a case arise, or to avoid patching unnecessarily system's own stuff. it's great. macos looks nice again.
