Carbon is semi-retired. I hope he find time to pick it up. Itsa kickass them!

He should get an official Panther updater for it if not.

I was only able to use Watercolor for the last 3 days I had Jag. Very often I lay awake at night thinking of all the time I wasted using aqua...

Same here, I didn't try it until late in Jag.

I've spoke with Carbon last week...

He is working on a Panther-friendly Watercolor, but don't expect anything before May... That's all I can say

Carbons got too many themes on the back burner

WaterColour, Classix (original version), Silvia and my favourite remember Meteora

I almost forgot about most of those.

I heard the themer did a really good job

Really? I hear it was awful.

I'm not really sure what I mean by that.

Binary's (err...that guy up there^) looks way too much like XP/Classic for my taste

, and the port from Jag by Susumu is fugly (fugly fonts), but a mod called method is good

Watercolor is meant to be classic feeling, it is a windows theme remember

. I actually disliked what carbon did to it, but to each their own.

Oh, and I am Binary

And I was just joking about switching, before anyone flames me on that

Just plugging my skin where I can

I don't like the new widgets he is going to use for the new version, I hope he does the old ones as a graphite variation. Only the miniaml windows themes seem to be any good, and I think carbon did a good job.

What I did to it? It's a pretty straight forward port... maybe you are referring to the Brushed Metal teaser up on my site, I'm not going that direction anymore. Besides, that would've just been for Textured apps. I had to come up w/ something original for the textured apps because it is an interface that can't be ported because it doesn't exist in Windows. Anyway, I don't feel like posting anything but the new brushed metal look is completed and should be viewed as a nice change from the Jaguar version w/ the "plastic" feel to the textured apps.

I will be maintaining both a Classic version of the theme and a Remix version. The Classic version will be the one closest to the original Windows version while the Remix version will have a fairly subtle change to the widgets, titlebar fade, and apple menu to make it a bit more appealing to the Mac user base.

Nice. Got an ETA on it? I know you're a busy guy, but I've been looking forward to it for a good long time.
