Ok cool.

I like it very much so far.

OzarkMtn · Feb 20, 2004, 09:15 PM

Nice theme! The widget in the "ATM" window still is red unlike the widgets in all of the other windows that are black/grey.

xanthic eye · Feb 20, 2004, 09:20 PM

atm window? wheres the bugger so i can squish it

bluevertical · Feb 20, 2004, 09:21 PM

#1 theme! hands-down. pat yourself on the back for a super slick theme that puts you at the leader of the pack... for now.
cheers!

Beautiful. Just what I've been waiting for. Clean and understated. You raised the bar lad. Thanks.

cant fix that, shapeshifter doesnt theme that window.

Holigen · Feb 20, 2004, 09:33 PM

If youre using SS then that window is not going to change. Its a root owned thing. SS doesnt change that at all.

Oh and Xanthic, I posted a little critique in the other thread, just some ideas...

brazil · Feb 20, 2004, 09:34 PM

I'm not seein' any red on my ATM window - - Could anyone tell me how to use the Finder Window Replacement ? Thanks for any help and again , , what a wonderful theme . Thanks for hooking us up for the weekend . Tis Bliss.

Holigen · Feb 20, 2004, 09:51 PM

I posted this in the other thread, but Phill is closing it down so Im going to put it here.

Ya, its a nice theme. Usability is good. I love the menu highlights. I wish that Max would put that sorta thing in his Milk theme. Buttons are a bit iffy for me. I like a horizontally and vertically symmetrical button but thats just me. Hit states of the buttons are too bright for the theme I think as well. Window bar widgets are nicely executed. Progress and indtermediate progress bars are beautiful. The scrollbars and buttons are a bit off. Itd be better if the scrollbar went all the way and the buttons were a bit more defined. The sides of the slider arrows look a bit grainy and fuzzy to me. Like I said, the hit states of all the buttons are a bit bright for the theme. I dont mean to be so negative, Im just trying to help out.

bluevertical · Feb 20, 2004, 09:56 PM

come on guys.... let's take it for a spin a bit before judging it to pieces. sleep on it. this would be like sitting in a bmw for 2 minutes and saying i don't like this and this....
give it 24 hours after you really kick the tires a bit...
just a thought

cmove · Feb 20, 2004, 10:05 PM

Very nice thanks

Lefo · Feb 20, 2004, 10:06 PM

Try using "Quicksilver" in Safaricon and have it alter Safari to Aqua. Looks pretty nice.

Anyone who sits in a BMW for two minutes and doesnt like it must have just gotten out of their Ferrari.

phillryu · Feb 20, 2004, 10:09 PM

TiSkin is so wonderful. I've been using this for weeks now, and I'm totally hooked. No other theme can pull me away from TiSkin, which is a problem for reviewing other themes.

Congrats on an amazing debut, and one of the best OS X themes out there, Xanthic.

mac15 · Feb 20, 2004, 10:14 PM

Umm wow, this theme is so amazing. Its damn near perfect for a 1.0

bluevertical · Feb 20, 2004, 10:18 PM

swiz.. i don't know, i've seen people do it

NetworkShadow · Feb 20, 2004, 10:31 PM

Still waiting on Safrai skin...

bluevertical · Feb 20, 2004, 10:35 PM

is it looking like we'll see the safari skin soon? any ideas anyone?

The AlumiteX Safri skin looks ok with it.

dtrk_shifter · Feb 20, 2004, 11:16 PM

wow...still looking at just the initial changes...this is sweet. I am in awe...Can't wait to see Swiz, bbx and Max go after this...you all amaze me. The icons, the extras....whew

Stuphalina · Feb 20, 2004, 11:54 PM

OT: Anyone here4 know where he got the app icons that are on his download page? The shapeshifter, safaricon, candybar, etc, ones?
Anyone know of they are for distribution?

mac15 · Feb 20, 2004, 11:56 PM

I'd say xanthic made them himself

Hmmm....he made them himself??

Stuphalina · 12:30 AM

I would think so. I was just wondering.
[dit:] I made them myself from a screenshot...

gorickey · Feb 21, 2004, 12:10 AM

Anybody got some cool screenshots of this hot new theme?

Looking for just the right desktop picture... No luck yet. There are a few that are so so, but that's it.

A screenshot w/Photoshop opening a screenshot

(I thought I'd maximize the madness here - plus, I've got a lot of ill-named drives, documents, etc. that I didn't want to have to edit out)

clickie for biggie:

xanthic eye · Feb 21, 2004, 12:36 AM

i just updated the main theme file with the safari button kit. i also added it to the tisuite download page as a separate download for those of you who downloaded the initial release already and don't want to download everything again. get it here: tisuite.xanthic.net

gorickey · Feb 21, 2004, 12:37 AM

Thanks "revmitcz" for the screenie...very nice...

Holigen · Feb 21, 2004, 12:42 AM

Safari skin is good

xanthic eye · Feb 21, 2004, 01:01 AM

just wanted to answer a few questions and points that have been raised.

the about mac window isn't skin by shapeshifter. so i won't even bother trying to mod it... since it isn't a very vital window that people use on a daily basis. however, i will be releasing a boot screen mod as well as a login window mod for advanced users who want to theme those elements.

i don't really see a point to making the window widgets larger, since they are completely functional as is since their click mask is the same size as the aqua widgets. but since so many people are asking for larger ones, i might include a variation with larger ones. perhaps as the graphite window style.

and holigen, what fuzzies are you talking about? i'd like to know to see if i can fix em for the next update.

thanks for all the nice and constructive comments and criticism!

xanthic eye · Feb 21, 2004, 01:18 AM

doh! sorry guys, i accidentally overwrited the back.tif image with the inactive mode image. so, once again, i updated the download. sorry!

Holigen · Feb 21, 2004, 01:47 AM

Here are a few of the fuzzy things I found:

Maybe theyre just fuzzy on my low res monitor but anyways, here they are

xanthic eye · Feb 21, 2004, 01:51 AM

i still don't see the fuzzies. are you talking about the soft shadows around the controls?

MetalArtist · Feb 21, 2004, 01:56 AM

the theme doent seem to work correctly with safari. the metal window gradient seems abruptly cut off and the and the safari skin buttons have a light grey background that doesnt match the dark grey of the window itself

xanthic eye · Feb 21, 2004, 02:07 AM

you need to use safaricon to set the window style in safari to aqua instead of metal. it is explained in the readme and on the download page.

did you make sure to click the "aqua" button in SafarIcon before applying the TiSkin theme? Here's mine, and I'm not seeing any of the problems you describe.

MetalArtist · Feb 21, 2004, 02:41 AM

whoops no i didnt, thanks!

Holigen · Feb 21, 2004, 02:49 AM

Ya, I guess its the "soft shadow". Looks a bit fuzzy to me

Holigen · Feb 21, 2004, 03:19 AM

Oh ya, and Xanthic, dont forget to send this over to Xthemes and ResEx. Always good to get the word out a bit more.
