Ah, school's started so I'm releasing this preview-alpha to get it off my priority...
So do be aware that this is very much unfinished and there are many aqua elements left. But from now on I'll work on it when I get the time...and inspritation...*winters comming*
Even so any suggestions are much appreciated...well...yeah...and read the readme



Zana (from shacknet)

My machine (mirror)

Dex13's mirror (thanx, ya!) =)

(Baaad servers, hoping for a good one, sooon)

Edit: Dex13 is kind enough to host it on his 10 Mbit server.

Note: Due to copyright reasons Zana will remain by the name Zana. Despite what's written about this in the read me.

Later!

Congrats solidfox with the shipment of your alpha.
I am very used to and like my current theme setup, so I don't feel like messing it to much up. Could someone please post some screen grabs if you try out this theme. Thanks.

Sniffer gone old-school sig

Heh, yeah, know that feeling. Once I posted this I instantly switched back to the good old FatalE, felt the stress guage droppin' like...ah well it dropped.

No more "ought to do that...and that isn't the way I want it...and then there was that hue...

Regarding the yellow widgets.. You should make them dark blue with a lighter shade of highligt.
And maybe instead of having them like you have now, change them into oval shapes. A bit like Apple's, just a bit 'longer' and 'flatter'...

I hope that made sense..

Yeah...I've kind of thought about making them blue...light blue though...maybe always transparent...like the one in the back. Hmmm...but maybe I'd make it black transparent...with white shadow...ah...well...it's for later...

I don't really get the oval thing though...sounds like it wouldn't fit

Check this link out, this is what I mean.
It was a quick mock-up showing of my 1337 Photoshop skills, so dont laugh!

(Note: If the picture dont load, just reload it, geocities.com sucks...)

Ah, well that one sure fits

Though I don't like em...
Kind of...won't go together with...shapes...colors...hmmm...``^_^
simply too round...

I have a version with some highlights though...no dark stuff but...
looks like this:



Sure makes the widgets stand out more...too much I thought...dunno...


Edit: Second thought...think they're to dark...maybe...

Ah, too bad I'm lazy then

But really, depends on what you want,
One thing I realized while making this theme was why there is so many gray, simple "boring" themes out there. It's simply less detailed, "slick", distraction factor zero. But it ain't as cool, ya

A-ah, never mind those, never mind those... Old idea, realized pretty quick it didn't work out...looks better in my photoshop though...colors get kind of...modified when I get anything out of photoshop...

Anyways...guess I'll implement the highlighted one in future releases then.
