My Titanium3 theme is finally done! It's for people that find most themes too bright and/or plain. It's got a little more surface detail than most and is obviously a dark textured titanium color which I find a lot easier on the eyes than a light theme. Try it out and tell me what you think if you like the preview. If not, move on to the next thread now! {No need to post criticism here... it's DONE! :-] }

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

I like parts of it a lot, but for the most part it's too involved for my day to day use. I prefer simple themes, but you did a great job on this, it's well done. I like it but couldn't use it for too long. Love the buttons for the login screen, and the menus, great touch.

mrtew: It is a very nice theme. Users who like darker themes will enjoy using it. Unfortunately, it is a little darker than my eyes would like. That said, still a great-looking theme. Great job!

Pretty nice in general, but your menubar looks too narrow. A couple of menu extras render like they extend right off it.

i luv it...great work...the overall metallic look is great...sure everyone will have an opinion about one part or another...for those who are not partial to dark themes this may be a compromize theme...not too dark and not light...try using dark themes at night with the lights down low...

my opinion may not carry too much weight however...i luv all themes...even the ugly ass ones cuz theming is great and it's gonna get better...

ps...this is not an ugly ass one!

it's just an optical illusion because of the pixel coloring to give the menu bar a feeling of thickness just like on safari...all menu bars are 22 pixels deep...

I never noticed until now that the shading was making the bars actually look narrower. That's cool! (Dark colors make things look thinner too I've heard, so that could be part of it as well.) Now at least I know why, when I try other themes, they feel kinda 'fat' to me!

I love the U.S., but we need some time apart.

It's great, love it a lot. I use Combustion at work and it has a dark interface and sometimes don't like the change from aqua to combustion when goign through the sytem, especilly when dealing with images.
At home though I still prefer the striped aqua look.
