Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

Well i've had some ideas lately, like Turquite, and updating PureWite to make PureWite2.
So i thought, why not just combine the 2 with 2 more ideas into one crazy theme project.
I call it Pure. You can expect many mockups and such sometime within the next week

ender2002 · Oct 21, 2004, 10:27 PM

great. thank you for wasting a thread.

penguinn · Oct 21, 2004, 10:30 PM

wasting one on me building on an idea?
ummmmm mockups [yes they all look the same, i will most likely change them all a little bit]

White
Blue
Red
Green

i'll start on white over the weekend

and here's a desktop i made earlier:

Why is it a waste? Pen has always posted threads of the themes that he is going to create.. and he also always finishes them... So i would have to disagree with you Ender.. It's not a waste..

Pen, this could be your best theme yet.. Your skills have grown quite a bit since your first theme.. Ice turned out very well.. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for 2 Pure

FB Eye · Oct 21, 2004, 11:20 PM

penguinn, you're one crazy themeing machine!!! do you sleep sometimes?

but I somehow agree that people should wait just a bit before they start announcing things, maybe 'till they're in the beta stage?

Dave-O is right tho, you always deliver and that's a good thing

penguinn · Oct 21, 2004, 11:30 PM

thnx guys
you never fail to keep me motivated

this theme will be twice as good as ice11

So far, Pure looks like ice11 in another color IMHO. But you are indeed talented, so I hope perhaps you develop this theme in a somewhat different direction, not just twice as good but twice as original too, with some clever design winks or whatever.
Keep up the good work

That's exactly what I thought... when I read your post.

Pen... keep those themes coming...

Randman · Oct 22, 2004, 04:13 AM

With SS2 coming out next week and the themes related to that, yours are going to have some competition out there. Might be a good time to regroup, see what 2 has to offer you and then come back (knowing you, in a day or two) with something that really rocks and grabs people's attention.

Not to shabby!

cgc · Oct 22, 2004, 07:35 PM

I hate previews. Please, post a beta of something useable.

Holigen · Oct 22, 2004, 08:00 PM

Boohoo.

I like previews, most people like previews. Too bad for you. Youre so impatient...

penguinn · Oct 23, 2004, 01:19 AM

why release a beta when nothing really is done
i love posting my progress each step, instead of letting u guys wait, and perhaps making u forget about this theme

TheSpaz · Oct 23, 2004, 01:32 AM

DexTop... I hate all your themes... you suck. And why show previews when a theme isn't even made into a mock up yet... idiot...

Man, this IS a waste of a thread and I'm probably going to get banned or something, but I don't care anymore.

+1 for me... Woo hoo!

Thank you for wasting a post.

When did the people in these forums become so judgmental. This about love dude, love for themes and icons. Bring your hate to some Windoze forum.

Edit: I didn't read the rest of the posts so if someone already covered what a douche-bag ender2002 is then I'm sorry.

i have a few things to say
#1: People will not like me and what I do, and i accept that
#2: I posted mockups at the top [You might reconsider calling me stupid. You don't know how to read yet? You did not reach 1st grade yet i presume?]
#3: Previews of the theme come AFTER mock ups, and mock ups aren't made from themes.... i suppose you are unaware of anything from the theming world
#4: you put the capital in the wrong place for the name, and it even has it at the top of the page since it is the subject..... and my name is andrew [androo] or penguinn for future reference
#5: Did you just write this to get banned? or to see a reaction out of someone? You could've just written "Bush will win", and I garauntee it will start an argument

Wow all this talk is making me want to theme

I retract what I said about fireside nneding to get a girlfriend....seems like it's you that needs some fresh air....how in the hell can you post such drivel about a *theme* or a beginning themer?

penguinn · 01:52 PM

why not just ignore the people who make stupid comments, and why not just do something more useful, like say..... checkout the push buttons

http://penguinn.com/pure/push.jpg

penguinn · 01:52 PM

alright, here's a problem..
i came up with a good idea that only works in cocoa apps, and looks like crap in carbon ones.
notice the titlebar buttons?
Transmit Window Preview

so i suppose ill think of something else that's cool and unique for the titlebar buttons

MacMan4000 · Oct 23, 2004, 07:37 PM

This is lookin great, very minimalist. I'll admit, I didn't really like the image in the first post, but this thing is lookin better every time I check back.

[edit]androo, I know how you can make those titlebar buttons work, *i think*. Find me on iChat/AIM and I can explain it. My username is in my profile.

penguinn · Oct 23, 2004, 08:44 PM

ahhh too late i already changed them without checking the forum

well i like these new ones

I agree, these new buttons kick ass.

penguinn · Oct 23, 2004, 10:38 PM

thnx

i'm done working for tonite

TheSpaz · Oct 24, 2004, 12:53 AM

Still sucks, but that's just MY opinion... don't let me get you down. Plenty others love your themes... I just think it sucks... that's all. Pure opinion.

penguinn · Oct 24, 2004, 01:19 AM

don't say anything unless it could somehow help me....
why do you think it sucks? if you are not able to figure that out, you shouldn't be on a forum. But that's only my opinion

Agreed...

Any way, about your theme.. Looking great Penguinn... Keep up with the updates.. i like to see your progress.

Banghazi · Oct 24, 2004, 05:01 AM

The first titlebar buttons ar DYNoMITE in my opinion. The second ones are cool, but the first ones are just, like, sooo

'n TIGHT! I really hope you don't give up on that first design...

Okay... Androo, that's enough. You're out of control. This is a safe place with people who love you. Now... step away from the Mac, slowly. Just admit you have a problem, that you can't stop theming (theeming? themeing?) and you've made the first step.

You're making everyone else look BAD, MAN!

penguinn · Oct 24, 2004, 04:29 PM

:'( I JUST CANT STOP
It tore me away from everyone i loved
my life is gone :'(

anyway, back to theming

thriller · Oct 24, 2004, 04:56 PM

penguinn · Oct 24, 2004, 05:20 PM

Base on your popup.jpg... i think puft system icons might look awesome with this theme!!

penguinn · Oct 25, 2004, 06:48 PM

WOOOOW you're rite they do look good with the theme

penguinn · Oct 26, 2004, 08:39 PM

checkout my screenshot
i'm releasing the theme on sunday

http://penguinn.com/pure/oct26.jpg

gautch · Oct 27, 2004, 10:43 AM

Sweet! Sunday! DeXtop... this is awsome! I love it.

I see a bug in your screen shot...
In the lower right of your finder window (the resize thingy), it looks like
there are some corners around your circle.

penguinn · Oct 27, 2004, 01:58 PM

hey you're right
i better fix that!

i'm just working on the appskins now..
whoever wants previews and betas and such, talk to me on aim im androo56

Twister · Oct 27, 2004, 02:55 PM

you are a themeing man. wow I wish i had half the time to work on my theme as you do yours.

If I'm lucky i'll get another one out this year, you'll have like 10 more.

gautch · Oct 27, 2004, 03:04 PM

im loving this theme.. i think iv said that enough.
But i think i see another bug, in the top right of your finder.. the button, it looks cut off.

Also, are you going to do any thing that works with SS 2.0? like the tranperency options?
Also now you can customize the background colors (which might look great in a light gray, especialy with the Puft System Icons).

Just my two cents....

eyevaan · Oct 27, 2004, 03:04 PM

penguinn's a machine!!

I don't know what works with SS 2..... is themepark 2 out yet?
edit: the only thing that is new is just the integration of icons and cursors. i do not make icons, don't expect me to

Twister · Oct 27, 2004, 05:20 PM

yes themepark 2 is out.

penguinn · Oct 27, 2004, 08:01 PM

okay got it

perhaps i'll make cursors
