Nowhere does it explain how to activate shaderlight on a Mac, but from what i’ve tried i’m pretty sure the way to do it is
Window>Extension Manager>Install Extension but the Shaderlight download is greyed out. I have successfully installed the software but it won’t let me activate it in sketch up. please help.

Same problem.

hmm - not sure if that helps and I´m not sure as well, how all that works on a Mac, but as I remember, Shaderlight installs as it´s own software completely and doesn´t need to be installed like a plugin within SU´s extension manager.
Maybe everything with your installation worked fine but you just missed to enable Shaderlight´s toolbar like shown below?

If Shaderlight does not appear in the Extension menu after running the Shaderlight installer, you may need to go to SketchUp’s Preferences dialog (from the Window menu on Windows, or the SketchUp menu on OS X), then select the Extensions page and click the checkbox next to the Shaderlight entry in the list of plugins.
