Yo Themerzzz!

I just realized that the current beta release of ThemePark expired today. I'll have a new build out in a few hours (there are a few minor features I want to add to that codebase before I release it). Sorry about any inconvenience, and I'll update this thread when I release.

ThemePark 1.0 is getting pretty close! I've seeded alpha builds to a few people, and it's safe to bet that it'll be out within a few weeks.

Fun things to say: human-readable element names & tips, variant support, display of edited/non-edited elements, templates, full spiffage.

I'm pretty excited about it.

P.S. ThemePark also just had its 1st birthday, so it's about damn time it reaches version 1.0!

There's a temporary download available at http://www.geekspiff.com/software/th...Park1.0b10.sit

This isn't the "real" 1.0b10, but if you absolutely need to continue theming this second, you can use it.

Even though I'm not a themer, I appreciate all your hard work.. Without you, theming would be lost. Thank you

No, I'm sorry, that's not slated for 1.0. I'm still evaluating that one.

ThemePark 1.0b10 is now available here.

Changes include:

It's now possible to drag images to the Finder to create a 'tiff' file, instead of an image clipping.
PICT', 'ppat', and 'pxm#' resources are no longer displayed with "fuzzy" interpolation when they're zoomed to actual size.
Tiled 'ppat' images are no longer displayed upside down.

Enjoy! And, as always, feedback is welcome!

Heh - it's very slightly speedier (I refuse to use the 'snap' word), but it still suffers from what is technically known as "dog-ass-slowness".

The upcoming Version 1.0 release has a much faster interface, but it's still not what I'd call "speedy". Loading editor panes is probably about twice as fast. If anyone's interested, I'll do some informal speed testing to get some actual numbers.

Cool tip Du Jour�: you can open an editor pane in a new window by double-clicking its background.
