I like my traffic light buttons. Graphite doesn't do that. It's a bit too dull for me.

Imagine having a solid dark grey background too. A little colour doesn't hurt.

I don't like the dark grey everywhere in Leopard. I liked the whiteness of Tiger. Everything else in Leopard looks better though.

I don't agree. I installed Leopard on my ageing iMac G5 and it was pretty damn slow and clunky... I reinstalled Tiger and that flies on it.

What I hate are the reminiscent features of aqua that appear as scroll and loading bars. Barber pole and loading bar... *shudder*. I much prefer the scroll bars of iTunes (and I hacked my system to get them everywhere).

I just wish you didn't have to hack, that Apple either moved on, or made it easier to change these things. The rainbow apple I have in the top-left corner being an example

There's heaps of tutorials that basically say the same thing, such as this one;

How to update the scroll bars in OS X Leopard to the new gray “iTunes-style” - Simple Help

But the package that you need to download looks to have been taken offline. Unfortunately all the guides I've found all point to the broken link

@EmJay and cmrn -

Sorry I'll try to hunt down the files referenced in that tutorial. For the time being, you can change the scroll bars to the same iTunes/gray ones using parts of: the iLeopard theme.
