Something I would like to see, if Swiz ever ports it and is open to refinements, is perhaps the NeXT theme with a more hi-tech look. I was thinking that perhaps a NeXT theme that is similar to the Titanium theme would be interesting.

This is just my personal take on it, but I welcome thoughts.

Just wait for the TuXedo update if you like darkish themes. He's supposedly doing some tweaks to it too.

I remember the original TuXeDo...Not quite sure I was ever too fond of it. No, I would like to see something like a NeXT 2.0. I like the classic interface, combined with some of the tweaks that have come about. I.E. Transparent menus, more modern widgets...I can see a "NeXT Aqua" or some such.

Its confusing to me too but suffice it to say my plan is to continue updating the themes I have already released until I stop receiving correspondence suggesting that they are in demand. I only plan to do new stuff if it is a paying gig to justify the long hours spent on them.

My announcement of retiring was just a method to my madness meaning, by announcing that I relieved myself of any pressure either real or created in my head for expectations from others.

Yes I am that manic.

Swiz: I know what you mean. Perhaps I could download the NeXT theme and tweak it a bit, with your permission? I'd love to play with it a bit and maybe update a few things for myself. Of course, I won't if you have a problem with it.

Well I'll be getting the Panther version on the update table soon so how about you just make a list of the suggestions you have and email it to me. Just be sure its well detailed.
