My first theme
It's not as solid as I would like it to be, but I can't spend forever on it or they might release OS XI by the time I'm happy. There are extras in it, but I was more concerned with the theme then the extras. I will release more icons, desktops and App skins as I get time. An iTunes skin will be done for next release.
If you want to contribute in any way (REALLY I AM NOT KIDDING!!1!) then please email me, I would love help with all the other bits as I am back to work and under a harsh whip again.
For people that followed the beta's, there is a new variant and loads more icons to make the download worth your while

Those icons are sweet cube3, in fact I really like a lot of this theme. I generally only use my own themes, my works in progress, Siro, or Neos, but I'm going to try sticking Morpheus and Eurydice into the rotation and see if they can stick it out. Even if they don't, that's more of a chance than I give most themes... so good job!
edit
haha, just saw your last post cube3... oops. My bad.

i see that on Eurydice the window bar is much different from the menu bar (atleast from the screenshot). maybe for consistency stake (not to mention it'll look better imo), you can make it so they match?

Great work. The Morpheus version is a great update to the original version. Quite slick. Keep it up!
Oh, and you should include your Sofa theme in the Changeling package for good measure.

All 4 variants differ, they differ even more when you take into consideration that playing around Graphite/Blue functions swap widget styles, apple symbols and even menu styles.
By it's very nature a changeling is inconsistent.

I running the morpheus version, Kind of like taking
'Quicksilver' and 'LCD pro' and mixing 'em. It's not
unattractive - so thumbs up. Not so sure of the grey
version - will try them 'on' later.
What I am finding odd is the icons only show when at
55'pixels and up. At 48, 32 etc, they are just quarter
squares and visually very unfriendly. Couldn't you make
them visible at the smaller sizes, because as good as they
are at the larger sizes, I couldn't use them with the smaller
ones looking so generic.

Icons
That's me trying to be smart and it didn't pan out as nice as I expected, they're nice as individuals, but not so good a big group. Sorry i been running my icons massive and didn't think to look at them all small, only individually.
I am busy redoing them, will take me a day.

Cheers bigears - on the reply, I will look forward to
the results - smaller sizes are always more tricky.
So good luck :)
Can I suggest that you make your 'sig' a clickable (live) link.

You're sure this is your first theme? You weren't like a themer in one of your past lives, right?
Good job, looks good. Love the icons!

um think I am gonna give another estimation on those icons. They need another 3 states per icon and I don't just want to cut, paste and shrink or it'll look nasty. I'll add some extra new ones to make it worth another download, but a couple of days worth work will make them a really worthwhile set.

kk thanks to some helpful advice from Bombia with regards to the icons I might be able to make this set all work nice and proper without adding all the other little resources.
EDIT: sorry I'm a bit sleepy, will use the edit button in future instead of post farming.

Icons that do full scale now have replaced the old ones.
If you have the old Icon packs, you can download new icontainers off the site, or get the whole theme again. Your choice.

I'm quite impressed with the Eurydice variation. The metal windows rock for one. I'm not too sure if the menus are to dark grey or not...
The icons rock too but you're a bit short of a full system replacement.  I can't wait because they are very nice icons.
