PREVIEW

Don't think it's a full theme, I just try to improve myself with Themepark, but this tiger/smoothStripes modd is good enough for a release, my opinion.

Thanx to Max Rudberg for permission to use some elements from Smoothstripes.
Thanx to Bioscoop and Rimshot for beta testing.
Preview icons by Rimshot.

Max gave permission? Cool.

I like it.

Did you do the brushed metal hack to get rid of it all?

Thanx Zimphire.

I don't know what is this brushed metal hack, so I don't think I did it.
To get rid of brush metal appearance, I just cleared metal brush elements, that's all

when i saw the title my mind jumped to all those garish kaleidoscope themes where you needed to wear sunglasses to operate your mac, BUT the theme is wonderful. very well balanced and very, very usable. Thank you.
Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve.
I wear mine underneath my right pant leg,
strapped to my boot.

Jus one lil issue. I'm sorry, but I don't like the Apple button. I don't like the new one in Tiger. Gradient too extreme. Try to find an old PAnther Apple resource and shift the hue.

BTW, Zimph, check your PMs every once in a while.

Took me as long as well without SS.

Like I said, I have no problems with SS, it's just not my thing man..
