Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion / 10.9 Mavericks UI/UX (Theme) on macOS 15.3.2 Sequoia

[MacAquaLuvr]

Hi all,

I hope y'all be doin great so far. I've been modding my iMac for weeks now and I'm stuck atm. I can't find all the related asset files to change the Finder UI back to the skeomorphic/metallic look (like in OS X 10.6 - 10.9) so I thought you guys can help. 🥲Is there someone who can tell how all these elements are named in the .car files and in which assets file is what type?
As u can see, I was already able to change the traffic lights and install the AquaLickX theme from GitHub
https://github.com/VisualisationExpo/AquaLickX. But it's still feeling wrong.
Thanx a lot in advance guys. I also got even more questions if someone's interested in helping me out. 🙃

current look:

hey! did aqualickx get you those buttons on the finder toolbar? i'm trying to recreate the Yosemite/El Capitan gradient toolbar look, without really replacing the traffic lights.

This is a noble endeavor, but you'll be fighting against the current at every turn. I wish so badly that it was feasible to bring back these theming elements, OSX 10 was truly peak design.
