Pretty kneat, gj.

Looks really good... can't wait for a release. It seems like some of Meteora's design elements migrated over, which is a good thing.

As usual, the lack of big ol' Apple shadows looks nice and clean. (Thank you WindowShade!)

Yup, exactly what I was going for and I really liked it up until I launched Safari... damn you Apple.

There's also one very minor border issue in Adium 2's new custom Brushed Metal / Safari interface but I can live with that.

looking good. might be the only brushed metal replacement i'll use

Glennfield · Jul 15, 2003, 09:29 PM

Ooohh... screenshot looks nice. A theme I might actually consider using in place of Aqua!

CarbonG4 · Jul 15, 2003, 11:10 PM

Ok, well for better or worse I've come to a compromise for the new brushed metal interface to make it look flawless in Safari (and Adium2, even though the issue isn't apparent in Panther afaik)

I hope it still has the same appeal... thoughts?

fireside · Jul 16, 2003, 12:16 AM

still looking seksay carbon. although, for some reason, i kinda did like the "messed up" brushed metal in safari. it made it look more interesting. heh

Gatorzx2 · Jul 16, 2003, 03:51 AM

I had never used this theme before but I'm using it now, and I'm liking it, especially what you have done with the brushed metal. Quality job.

CarbonG4 · Jul 16, 2003, 06:05 AM

Looks real clean and streamlined. Good job.

fireside · Jul 16, 2003, 05:50 PM

carbon you rock my world. awesomejob. although there is one weird quirp with adium 2 but you said you knew that.

fireside · Jul 16, 2003, 06:03 PM

you know the background behind the widgets in the toolbar in the metal windows is different than the background in the regular windows? well, i was wanting to change it so all the windows had the brushed metal style, so, uh, how would i do that. i can do the work i just dont know where the resources are. thanks ahead of time

CarbonG4 · Jul 16, 2003, 06:24 PM

You'll be able to find the "widget box" for the brushed metal windows in the "Metal Bevel..." PXM's... should be the first one, the just make a custom titlebar for the standard windows and you're good to go more or less. You'll probably have to resize the widget box though because BM apps have smaller widgets than Aqua apps in FatalE.

fireside · Jul 16, 2003, 07:38 PM

erm, how do you make a custom titlebar?

realmeatychunks · Jul 17, 2003, 11:36 AM

Carbon, any chance that you can throw together a quick toolbar set for Safari as well?

Beautiful theme, great job.

good work carbon...

i believe (trying to keep from hurling!) fireside has a good idea...it would make the theme more consistent...

ah...you might say, it wouldn't be fatal...but hey all things evolve...even aqua!

well i'ze gonna do it and seez if's it's spiffleydoodle...

Synotic · Jul 17, 2003, 05:33 PM

Carbon,

Very nice theme you've got going there

I hope to try it out soon.

i've made one so titlebars match the metal version...i can send it to you so you can paste it in using themepark...i haven't done the black but i can wip it up in a minute so you'll have both...i shouldn't think carbon will mind...

catsank · Jul 21, 2003, 10:42 AM

If this theme were a car - i'd curl up in the back and go to sleep.

That is two of the SMOOTHEST theme I have seen for Camino and Safari. Awesome job Carbon & Fluid!

Is that a put down?

Anways, I think the new browser make-overs look great, as does the theme. I've been using it for several days in a row now, which is quite a feat!

It just looks perfect on my TiBook... and it doesn't get in the way of designing graphics.

sushiism · Jul 21, 2003, 06:00 PM

wow adium 2 now looking half decent instead of that metal mess

Thanks.

NetworkShadow · Jul 22, 2003, 11:23 PM

Looks really nice.

I'll use it some time when I get sick of using a dark theme.

Hi I'm Ben · Jul 23, 2003, 06:01 PM

HOLY BALLS I LOVE IT! I can't wait to get my mac tomorrow.

Catsank,

what exactly is your point? you don't like the theme - don't use it. you want to make a better one - go ahead and make it. you want to talk winamp skins - you are in the wrong place buddy. you want to turn this winamp theme into an OSX theme - try it.

Sorry, never remember to look at the timestamps on messages ... That's the problem with someone bringing back old threads that I've missed the first time around ...
