Tired of tweaking OS X Lion on your own with all the defaults write commands? Don’t want to manually change iCals leather look back to aluminum? What about older tips like turning the Dock into 2D? Lion Tweaks to the rescue!

This little free app is an extremely easy GUI front-end to a ton of the customizations and tips that we’ve covered here on OSXDaily before, but since they can be activated from a central location at the click of a button, it’s very simple for even the most novice of users to change the way OS X Lion looks.

You can download LionTweaks right now for free (direct download link) or visit the developers website, it’s freeware but the dev is asking for donations.

Looking at what Lion Tweaks does is almost like reviewing our tip archives, with all of the tips below directly within the app and ready to use at the click of a yes/no button:



Yes, some of the tips pre-date OS X 10.7 but who cares?

If you like customizing your Mac, grab Lion Tweaks, it’s a great little app and having all of those tips in a single place is hard to beat. The only thing it needs is its own preference pane!

Thanks to those who sent this app in, it made the blog-rounds a bit ago via a third party aggregator but it’s worth mentioning again since it got updated.
