Update: Now divided into one yellow elements version and one white. This is so you can have all aqua elements blue while having the widgets white.

Well, there it is, only coughhintcough a screenshot

so far but I'm hoping to have a preview release for this out in a week or two.

The next few days I'll be at an introduction of my new school with my girlfriend, it's at least 300 miles away so I won't be checking in here for a while.

So stay good, and don't reveal anything

I'll be looking forward to some comments

Edit: Sorry 'bout there being no updates to busy at the moment. No inspiration... so, guess all the ones interested enough to want a bugy release know how to get the secret one by now?

Goodness, when you put "[ANN] panther guikit" in the title of your thread maybe you could actually have a new guikit available, instead of another "preview"

rhythmicmoose · Sep 11, 2004, 10:18 PM

Wow. This is still alive? It looks great except for the menus.

Yeah, that's the way I'm thinking as well... Hoped you'd all find what you were looking for in the picture though. Well 'nough said about that.

Hey no problem man, thanks for showing us a little taste of the theme...i need to learn more about themeing because i really enjoy this one and want to create my own now

mugget · Sep 11, 2004, 11:08 PM

solidfox, kudos to you.

haven't tried it yet, but can't wait for the final!!

Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing � "Hey, why the hell is it loading from the top and middle?!"

Anyway, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish downloading it (dialup curse), but the screenie looks awesome!

efuseakay · Sep 12, 2004, 01:39 AM

Don't forget to finish the Safari buttons (Text size, Home, Add bookmark are missing)... an iTunes and iChat theme would be great too... hint hint...

But as it is now... quite excellent!

Ice Spectre · Sep 12, 2004, 05:19 AM

Haha, nice to see a bit of effort in the "acquisition" of the theme, solidfox.

I'm loving it so far. Good work

Everyone on here is braindead. I knew the instant the page loaded that it wasn't an image file. BRAINDEAD. WAKE UP.

Well I opened it in a background tab, and stuff loads so quick for me that I wouldn't have noticed it very easily even if it had loaded in the primary window.
I had to come back and was wondering, and I don't think that is such a crime.
I think credit should be given where it is deserved, and it was a good idea.

servo · Sep 12, 2004, 09:11 AM

Very nice.

cruciarius · 09:25 AM

very well made theme

maybe on an updated release, you'll do safari buttons and other progress bars. other than those, i think this theme may be done.

edit:
no iTunes skin?

maybe another future release..? not too important to have.

bastion · Sep 12, 2004, 10:15 AM

Very aesthetically pleasing theme. I love it.

OK, the jokes on me... nice theme I must say

Komisar · Sep 12, 2004, 01:47 PM

Yeah thats a sweet theme can't wait to see it!

You're a killjoy.

Yeah, either braindead or blessed with decent bandwidth... get a clue dialupboy.

MacMan4000 · 09:09 PM

ha ha ha ha ha! clever! I didn't notice that is was .html and not .jpg and was reading the replies thinking "how does he know it doesn't have safari buttons?" Then it hit me like a flaming arrow... very clever

"Awesome" bandwidth to be exact

What did you use to change the color of your dock in that screenshot? TransparentDock? I've never been able to get such nice results with TD's default color options..

What theme are you using in that screenshot?? It looks like Panther's default, but the menubar is too shiny.. Please enlighten me

This is what you need to change the dock color.

This is a direct link to "Spotlight". it is the theme I am using. If you want to see another screenshot before you download it go to http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/ and scroll about 1/3 of the way down.

huh? Did you read the thread? You should read the thread. In fact read all the threads that you are interested enough in to reply to.

eyevaan · Sep 13, 2004, 12:06 PM

great update from the previous. Been waitin...
Thanks for all the hard work.

Are you doing the dirty water version? [grey menus]

Randman · Sep 13, 2004, 12:51 PM

Nice, job as well as the way you delivered it. This has made me switch from Section 9. And it goes great with the fluid screensaver and the hack to make the progress bar spill over. Cheers.

DoGoodDrugs · Sep 16, 2004, 11:15 AM

very nice theme, cant wait for you to finish it... really the most inivative thing ive seen in a while.

also can i get a link to that progress bar spill over hack.. saw it a while ago, but lost the link.. thanks

edit: found it myself... http://www.gotow.net/gotowerks/Projects/hack.html

that is the greatest APE. thx for the reference.

optimus_prime · Sep 16, 2004, 01:45 PM

the more i use this theme the more its blowing me away.
well done

solidfox · Sep 19, 2004, 11:23 AM

Wow

That's a lot of good comments, thanks a bunch everyone.

The buttons for safari will be completed in the official release, only a few more days now.
Then I'll complete the progressbars for a second preview and face the buttons and tabs for the final. Well... knowing me that'll take a while. But I've used it as is for over a year now... works good.

Also grey menus will be availible in the official preview.

Thanks again! Later guys.

aristotles · Sep 19, 2004, 01:44 PM

Nice. How did you do the transparency on the titlebar? That would be cool to have in the Aero theme port.

Thain Esh Kelch · Sep 19, 2004, 03:49 PM

2 years, and still counting..

Hehe...just one year, started during last summer

Hey, it's a hobby... I only do it when I feel like it... And a little more each time someone wonders what happened with that awsome theme. Besides my girlfriend thinks it's geeky...

Transparancy in the titlebar is made by simply making the titlebar transparent.

So? Let her play with your mac so she gets hooked to.. Maybe do a pink theme for her!

LOL. An old girlfriend of mine (the one that got away) used to get her revenge on my Mac time by going around to display Macs at computer stores and putting the System Folder in the trash.

She was always frustrated that the OS wouldn't allow her to empty the trash. I had to follow her around and set every Mac right.

Well... she's the only one using it when she's visiting so...

Guess theming will still remain geekish...

Well It looks cool...But is the screendump from photoshop or is it real ?? ( shapeshifter )

If it's real, then I have one question! I did not think that graphics around the Window borders were possible ?? ( that's what the "Pro Themers" tell me )..

Plz.. Correct me if im wrong ?..

YAY! Been waitin a while for dis one. ThANks and get it finished!!

After using the theme I have a few gripes. I know this is only a beta but there are alot of unfinished bits, rendering the theme unusable imo. The second thing is less of gripe and more curousity. When u open a preference pane with this theme enabled, after it loads u can still see the loading text behind the other text. dont know if there is much u can dobout it though.

I've been using this theme for a year and never noticed anything like that...
