Just a quick announcement for those wondering why my page hasn't changed since last July... the permissions on our server have been corrupt for about 3.5 months now and apparently everyone is lazy -- So basically, my http://www.621.org/~carbon/ site is frozen in time and cannot be updated. So... I've relaunched my site at the following location:

http://mypage.siu.edu/bmuhlach

The site has a fresh new interface. Also, take a look around, and if you're familiar with my themes from Jaguar then you'll notice a few refined elements in the Panther ports that are currently in the works Small previews for now, but expect Watercolor to be dramatically enhanced if I ever find the time

Thanks
//Carbon

Sorry to be nitpicking, but I REALLY don't like the new watercolor widgets... They just bother me so much that I have to let you know... they are way too bold and big looking. I really liked the old ones a lot more. If you must change them I would suggest making them smaller and not so bold.
Widgets more this size would fit it much better:



But I AM very happy to see you're updating for Panther. I can't wait to use a fully ported Water Color even if I have to change the wigets back to the old ones myself.
I really dig the new theme too, but again the widgets bother me as I've said before. lol

I totally disagree!
Those new widgets for watercolor looks awesome...that new incarnation of it will be a beautiful theme for sure.
I just hope it comes out soon. Great work Carbon.

he is already thinking about making the new widgets smaller more like the back and forth arrows. i think they will look great either way. but what he did with the brushed metal is really cool.

Network Shadow, you are nitpicking, the watercolor widgets look tons better

And I'm dying to use that Syliva theme. Best looking one you've made yet from what I see.

Carbon, this might seem like an ancient thing to ask for, but where did you get that set of icons that you always had shown on your screenies? The circular ones?
I never asked and I know this is off topic, but any chance you remember where you got them?

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!

Or a variation with the old widgets maybe? The old ones could be the graphite wigets?
