Hi, im working on my first theme and i'm having three problems.

1 When copying finder toolbar items from Themepark into photoshop, it does not copy the image with its transparency. So when I paste it into PS I get a black background.
(I want to modify the standard images)

2 Shapeshifter changes the finder metal texture in the finder (and safari toolbar) to smooth grey, I want to keep the metal.

3 I am getting a gamma shift getting darker everytime I copy/paste between Photoshop and Themepark.
(suspect Photoshop problem)


If any one has any experience of these problems I would appreciate your advise.

Cheers.

Panther can't use full color textures unless you use ShapeShifter's GUIkits, I think they said only solid colors for now until the next update.

1. That's a problem with Photoshop. It does not include transparency when copying to ThemePark. Work around that by dragging all the images you want to edit to your desktop. Then open them in Photoshop and make your changes and save. Then open them in Preview and copy paste into ThemePark.

2. This is a work around to allow themes to use colored Metal appearances. Smeger said he could redo it so that it works like it use to.

3. Try going into Color settings and change RGB to "Monitor RGB".
