This looks great... gives me a reason to register Shapeshifter... but my question is, where'd you get your desktop pic? That looks awesome!

thanks

Well, there it is, only coughhintcough a screenshot so far but I'm hoping to get out a preview release of this 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

Hah, thanks a lot man!
Yeah, it's from final fantasy 12. You'll probably find it rather easily just knowing that.

Now now... how should I interpret this... you say only one person would buy my theme?

No...no...she probably wouldn't... guess that's out...

Randman · Oct 4, 2004, 03:32 PM

My updated desktop.

I'm really digging the theme and it's pretty impressive to get me away from Section 9. Anyway, I posted this in the desktop thread but thought I'd repeat it here and again give a

for a good theme.

DimeTech · Oct 4, 2004, 08:46 PM

where'd ya get that desktop pic randman....it looks great!

Randman · Oct 5, 2004, 03:49 AM

Thanks. I found it somewhere a couple of weeks ago. Can't remember the name of the site.
When I get home tonight, I'll see if I can track it down. But if you're interested in it, I can send it to you, or put it on the download list of my .mac if anyone's interested.

solidfox · Oct 5, 2004, 12:28 PM

Thanks again! Nice to see it in action (other than my action)!

DimeTech · Oct 8, 2004, 07:44 PM

I've been waiting for this theme for a while now. I've had the preview theme since you released it and can't wait for the final version to be released. Keep up the good work!

I'd like that desktop too... Its gorgeus!

is it out yet, is it out yet, is it out yet (to the tune of "are we there yet")

Click on underwater for it. If I can find the website where I found it, I'll update this to credit where it's due.

If someone's interested in putting together a few combinations of safaributtons it's rather easy but not so much fun on my old iBook 600... I could send some photoshop templates and raws to do it...

My god I'm lazy...

C o r p · Oct 10, 2004, 09:32 PM

i would do it on my iBook 500... but i have to write 2 essays...

... and i'm lazy too...

DekuDekuplex · Oct 10, 2004, 10:47 PM

This is wonderful!

Although your appearance theme is labelled as for "Panther," is there a corresponding identical version for Jaguar? It looks so fantastic that I want to start using it right away!

I can't wait for the final version to be released!

I'm definitely interested! When I first enlarged that desktop picture in a separate window, it looked so awesome that I couldn't help but sigh with wonder, dreaming about what it would be like to have a desktop theme like that....

Please let me know how to download it as soon as you find out!

*Removes dust, spiderwebs, the old lady in the corner*

Any.. *Ahrem*... Updates?

solidfox · Jan 22, 2005, 07:21 AM

Well there's a quick answer and many excuses to that.
Quick answer is no.

There probbably will be once I get a new comp. And that will probbably happen once apple decides to upgrade the Portables to G5, sorry guys.

That sounds good, it'll be perfect for my PBG5, since im also waiting for that...

LittleHuv · Jan 24, 2005, 05:45 PM

when does this come out (if anyone knows)? or is this already out? i'd love to have this theme. it looks awesome.

eyevaan · Jan 24, 2005, 05:55 PM

if the link is not dead its out in the current version . . . you might need to look around the upload a bit.

what's this? some theme hide & seek... why not just post the download link. saves having to scroll through months of messages.......

Newbie! The coolness factor is having to search for it. If you had been here when the theme was coming out, you'll see that it was all the rage and quite clever in the way it was announced and released.

Tha said, I do hope there will be a time when this theme continues. It's one of the most attractve themes out there and one yyou can work on for very long amounts of time, unlike many other themes.

Yup, it's hide and seek, when I think it's ready to step out of it's hiding you'll find it with a Google search but 'til then it's exclusive to those willing to put a little more time into it.

Get it. Search for the theme - Must be some kind of fun game for long Scandinavian winter nights.....

Or an innovative way to "release" the theme that most people, minus dense people with less than 20 posts apparently, gleaned right away.
Now leave SF alone with your silly buggering and let him think about finishing off this wonderful theme.

siMac · Jan 28, 2005, 02:45 PM

LOL, silly buggering!

Yeah, it seems SS for Tiger is not yet compatible with the technique I'm useing for the menubar. And I'm still to impatient to do it my iBook 600... Don't want to buy an already outdated PowerBook G4 either.

Guess it'll be long... sad as it is. I'd like to see it done as well. Maybe when the intel PowerBooks get out... if Apple can't come up with something before then.

Again. Sorry.

Well, who knows, maybe I'll get a great big creativity rush - great enough for me to get the patience I need for my iBook.

Actually, it's just broken in SS 2.1. Works great in the forthcoming SS 2.1.1 - I used Mizu as one of my test themes for menubar fixes.

The only issue is that the menubar endcaps are each 6 pixels wide in the theme and MenuEnhancer is hard-coded to use 8 pixel caps. Easy fix on your end.

wait...so your saying, if i apply this theme with SS 2.1, the menubar will be messed up?

It will be aesthetically unappealing.

It'll just magically work again once 2.1.1 is released.

I know how you feel. Ive been waiting on a Powerbook with a decent FSB for one and a half year now, and it seems that I have to wait until mid-2006 now... >

That's great... I guess I could fix that easilly enough... if it'll be long 'til 2.1.1?

Great work Jason!

I estimate 2.1.1 will be out next week, but 2.1.1 won't fix the 6->8 pixel thing, you'll still need to fix that yourself if it bothers you. It probably will.
