Bowtie is a new OS X app brought to you by Laurent Baumann from Slightly Pretentious Software (from Façade, which is coming soon, and Architect, which is currently in public beta). I’m a big fan of Slighty Pretentious because they’re going to bring big change in the way skinning is done since Leopard came along. I’ll blog about those other 2 jewels later, back to Bowtie!
Bowtie is an application silimar to CoverSutra and CoverStream, it allows you to control iTunes with shortcuts, submit your songs to Last.fm, it has a supereasy xHTML+CSS+JavaScript based theming system and it’s FREE. It’s still in Beta, I’m using it for a couple of days now and I’m liking this so far. It’s lightweight, scrobbles to Last.fm seamlessly, and I’m loving the themes! It’s also extremely simple to make your own? I’m especially liking this one:

This theme fits in very nicely with my neat desk. It slides to the side when you double click it, and when you need it, just click it once and there it is again. I’ll be making my own Bowtie theme anytime soon to really meet my personal needs.
Needless to say, I’m really loving this app right here, and all of you should check it out as well ! It’s free, why wouldn’t you. Start using Bowtie today! Get it here! Get the unbearable theme pack by Lauren Baumann on MacThemes, a great resource for all your skinning and wallpaper needs!
