Hi Guys,
For the ones interested by my "titane theme", named from now "Tibook theme" (Hope the name is still available..), is now 95% finished and available for download!
I made a square and a curved version as requested..
It's still a Beta version that works in almost all conditions. Few elements need to be changed still but it's fonctionnal at, as I said 95%..(I won't work on it for the next month, cause of some job stuff that I have to do, but decided to release it now because It's almost complete)
Feel free to try it. Don't forget to leave input/feedback here or on my email. Also you can report to me if some elements are not done for a specific app..
Enjoy..

One thing I would say after looking at the screenshots above is that the active radio button and checkbox need to have their active element be the lighter color used in the theme (or at least a lighter gray). On a CRT monitor it's really hard to read.

Yes, I know. I didn't have time to modify that.. I'll do that on time.

Hi I'm Mike · Apr 30, 2003, 04:04 PM

why are you releasing it if it isn't done?

ae86_16v · Apr 30, 2003, 04:17 PM

Could you put in Traffic Buttons as well?

It's actually done.. What I meant is that it could that I forgot to modify a few elements that are never or not used in 95% of the case.. that's all..

Looks really good, but I am so used to my super complex and busy looking theme now that yours looked frighteningly clean and simple to me when I installed it. I never realized how overdone my theme was until I tried yours. Very nice.

Thanks. Yep.. My goal was to do something dark but simple and not too painful for the eyes

I've been using it for more than 2 weeks now and I don't get tired of it..

Ok, so has anyone else had problems with this theme? It looks great but after downlaoding it and using Duality to try and instal, Duality crashed. Now, every time I try and start up Duality, it get's to loading the Titane theme and crashes. I can't find the preferences for duality to trash them and I've tried to reinstal too. Anyone have any ideas at all??

I've got this problem too. Not only with my theme but with some others too... Don't know why..I use theme changer and everything is fine.

Really nice theme, but if it had translucent menus *hint hint*, it would be better

Yes I'll add this variation in a future release.

I would absolutely love this theme if the 'X - +' widgets had the same background as the rest of the titlebar in each window. I just don't like the abrupt switch to black.

But other than that - great job.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do.. The thing is I cannot modify my theme for each and every request.. I need to stick to the main idea.. But because it's still a beta version, I'm open to good suggestions..

This theme crashes Duality 4 GT repeatedly.

Use theme changer instead.

x user · May 4, 2003, 12:23 PM

Why change your theme changing software just 'cause one theme crashes it? I like Duality personally.

Vi0 · May 4, 2003, 09:26 PM

This theme is good. But it needs major polishing. Also the buttons are too black and have black text, which makes them unreadable .
