I just completed Smoove 1.1 which is a major overhaul of the original and now I've made a website for it too which I will be working on over the next few weeks.
For a preview and download visit the website.

Geeze you sure are taking the lack of response really well. I hate it when I go through the effort to speak up and see no one really cares.

I wanted to say that I am suprised at the progress I saw in your latest update. It is almost as if it were a different theme. I am not ready to use it myself yet but am looking to the day I can run it and get in the Smoove. Great job. Please keep up with the progresss I am looking forward to it.

After the trouble with the last release people are likely put off even looking which I was expecting anyway. I don't let peoples responses get to me because theres no point you can't please everyone. Your right there has been huge progree I don't know what happened there I just sat down and started working next thing I knew it was dark out my stomach was rumbling and I was done. I did Actually do an iTunes app skin but it looked terrible against the brushed metal.

I am considering doing more app skins for it but they are the part which I find more tedious so for now im concentrating on my next theme which is a dark theme and what I really wanted to do in the first place. Smoove was just a learning curve it was never ment to be an actual theme but I did so much I figured I may as well release it lol.

I've included a screen shot for those that don't want to click an extra link.

How'd you get the Finder icon in the menu bar instead of the word Finder???

BTW, from the preview it looks like you certainly did move up the learning curve a bit yesterday! I might have to download this theme & give it a try.

see... much more tastefull =)

excellent theme!

I know you have just redone the widgets...
but the close widget doesn't visually match the others to my eye.
The x is too thin.

Matching the x and + in themes is often a tricky business.
The x seems to need half a pixel more thickness to match the +
Which means you have to toss up between a sharp, thinner x
or a less sharp, thicker x

I Know about the widgets unfortunatley I didn't realise untill way after I released it. It should be fixed in an update with addid app skins but that could be a while off yet im concentrating on the new theme at the minute now if I could only come up with a good looking tutorial for makeing surfaces look plastic i'd be set.

The scroll bars and sliders still have the thin black outlines...
they should go the same way as the other black lines.
