ClarusXfor Mac

ClarusX is a customization program for Mac that allows you to replace the page setup icons in OS X with the famous "Clarus the DogCow" image. Developed by Interealm, this trial version software falls under the category of Customization with a subcategory of Themes.

ClarusX brings a touch of fun to OS X by replacing the boring guy icons with a variety of cattle, including the iconic Clarus the DogCow. Originally introduced by Apple in 1983, the dogcow image became widely known as the image for the Mac OS Print Setup dialog box. This hack application offers users the opportunity to customize their Mac experience with a playful twist.

However, it's important to note that ClarusX is considered a Haxie application, which means it makes fundamental changes to your Mac system. This can make it difficult to remove the software afterwards, and there is some controversy surrounding the ethical and legal aspects of developing Haxie software on the Mac. The developers of ClarusX have provided documentation on how to properly remove the application.

While some may view ClarusX as a bit pointless, those who have been with Apple since the early days may find it amusing to bring back the nostalgia of the dogcow. It's worth mentioning that ClarusX is only compatible with Mac OS X Tiger and later versions due to changes in the Printing internals.
