It would also appear that the DMG artwork is not remaining "stuck" with the DMG and this is bad because the artwork is a large part of letting you know what all the pieces are and such. Until THIS is rectified PLEASE start with the READ ME.
I apologize and this shite is really annoying the hell out of me this evening. Goodnight now.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that I gave Swiz a hand with the DMG artwork right before he went beddy-bye, so everything should be groovalicious now for your downloading pleasure.

Looks cool, too bad I'm at school right now. I need to get an extranal firewire drive so I can run my own OS on the Macs at school.

I'll get you a screen of it running in Panther later today. hehe

This theme appears to have killed my menubar clock and displays menu extra.

I even restarted...

I'll try repairing permissions, logging out and in and let you know if it fixes it.

Looks good though I wish there were an Apple menu instead of a G5 menu.

I will be including an Apple Menu option real soon. It really cant be the theme that killed those elements since it only changes the theme file, and login items. Let me know what happens though.

Killed my menu items as well. Restarting the SystemUIServer fixed it though. Just had to re-add the menu extras after that. Before I killed it SUIS was taking up a lot of CPU time. Might wanna check your theme again Swiz. And by the way, what's with the funky rounded corners in the menubar, seems...off?

Repairing permissions didn't fix it, restoring Aqua from ThemeChanger didn't fix it either but AquaFix got things working again.

It's a nice theme but I always end up back at Aqua Graphite one way or the other, this time it just happened faster :-)

Thats just great, looks like Apple is continuing to muck things up by using previously obsoleted PPAT calls like this again. So much for themes using different backgrounds from their tab panes. F Steve I say!!!

I love it, except for the rounded corners of the menu bar. What happened? Are they not supposed to be evenly rounded?

The new version is now online for download. It fixes the menubar endcaps, uses an Apple Menu again instead of the G5 (unless you select Graphite in General Prefs), it now has the correct Safari Skin too.

Swiz-
Hope you had a beautiful wedding and a fantastic honeymoon.

This version of Power Metal is really, really great.
Thank you for your hardwork.

Make sure your wife knows she is number one.
