Sweet. I like em both.
For the lazy people who don't follow links:

i'm gone... [open new browser window] ... wow thanks for the update.. i still had the old site in my bookmarks.. and nice theme work too... thanks again K..

[MacMan4000]

Um, the download link on the XIAP themes site is wrong... I ended up with 2 copies of Xi-TiBook2 and no copies of the new nifty looking themes. anyone else having this problem? anyone guessed the correct link yet?

edit: Uuuuum, Its not there... <URL Snipped> anywhere...

[NetworkShadow]

lol looks like a link mess-up.

Nice clean site design. The themes look nice too.

[TheZee]

Dude,
Come on. Not another Aqua like theme. Please no. Is there no end to this torture. How many of themes nearly identical to these are out there? The majority unfortunately. Can a brother get some window title bar backgrounds with color? What about the dark themes? Where are new ones of those? Where are themes like the two that Xiap created before (ti-book, MX7)? Unique, dark yet with color. That's the real deal. I can dream a dream but now that dream is gone from me(Morpheus, The Matrix).
Peace,

[Zimphire]

Oops. It's not my fault... its Komisar's Blame him! not me!

But on the bright side... the new site is awesome and 2 new themes look great too...

[TheSpaz]

Good thing it's a white shiny theme... we hardly have enough of those out there. Bah... theming sucks.

You've got to do it Apple style and not upload the site updates until it's been announced.

[Komisar]

I am completely sorry to patrice, i did not know it was supposed to be a suprise. I did not know this was supposed to be a suprise.

[wibs]

To all you whiners, i've been pretty sick of plain white themes lately too. When I tested this theme for patcarla for a couple of weeks it was really nice though - the green gives it some eye catching pop while on the whole it's very usable. I know that's not what you want to hear, you want to see animations with widgets doing loops around windows, but if you want a usable theme check this one out. I know that's kind of a crowded area in theming, but it's damn close to the top.

and congrats on the site patcarla

[Patcarla]

wtf!
Thanks Komisar for ruining the party

anyway...the themes will be available in a couple of hours..

And for all the whinners..
Yes it's plastic white, yes it's not highly original but yes it's highly usable..which was the goal of these two themes...

If the "surprise" site is posted, expect people to find it... the internet is public domain after all...

[Patcarla]

for the ones interested...
The themes are available

Please don't be upset about not tell people first. They are beautiful and well made! I'm using Xi-freshsnowM right now and I think it looks nearly as good as Max's Aluminum Alloy. Thanks you!

[Tarambana]

Yeah, the redesigned site looks beautiful!

And I like both themes, they are not only polished, but very usable. I'd rather have a theme that I can keep on using for long time and almost with any App, rather than a very spectacular one, which simply doesn't work for long periods of time or with certain software.

They look great!

[cmove]

Beautiful work as always i use the lime version.

[TheBadgerHunter]

In the vast sea of puke theming has been lately, these are pretty damn good. Nothing earth shattering but something quite usable.

[cube3]

I really like these themes, fantastic job

[bluevertical]

giving the all white one a spin now and must say excellent work!!!
i have found my favorite/usable theme!
keep up the great work...
peace.

[deej5871]

The dmg is a 10MB download while the mounted disk image is only 4MB...

Edit: Almost forgot..I love the themes.

Yes, now on to you doing something original.

[deej5871]

Just found a bug..

[Komisar]

Im sorry patrice i didn't know it was supposed to be a suprise.... this is one of my favorite themes of all time.

10 out of 10 terrorists think you're getting testy zimph.

[brazil]

These themes are so complete . All apps look marvelous . It seems so rare a new theme these daze gets so much work put into it. I am proud to be running one now . Thanks so very much Patcarla . I also have made a donation to hopefully keep this thing happening. If we all made this kind of gesture we would most likely see more new and stunning themes. So please ifn ya' can afford it throw a few Euros Xiaps way . Thanks again . I hope all is groovin with everyone.

Making fun of your non-creativeness isn't getting testy. It's just making fun of you.

[Patcarla]

Thanks guys for the nice comments

deej5871: I can't believe I missed this one.. will be fixed shortly

Brazil: thank you so much man..very much appreciated
(btw, I sent you a email to thank you but it seems that there is a delay problem..)

Komisar: no big deal dude..they are just themes after all ..but next time I
show you something not public, please let me do the announcement myself .

Anyway, I'm glad that some of you like the themes even though I'm a bit
surprised that the grey one is much more successful than the green variant..

[efuseakay]

Not bad...

The menu selections could use more contrast though... it's hard to see what you have selected... And I won't mention my pet peeve of no iChat buddy list window/chat window titles... from what I know, it's a limitaiton with ShapeShifter... so i'll let that one slide for now...

Any plans for more color variants?

actually if the metal windows just have brightness changes in the window title area, it's not too hard to fix... moderately time consuming, but as you can see by Neos it's possible. It works better for some themes than others, though.

[Fonzie]

I noticed that by applying the greencolored version of this new theme that VLC didn't get themed. So I went into the guikit and found the graphics that is used to theme VLC and looked in the path.txt file: If you have the same issues that VLC is not being themed then move VLC to "/Applications/Media Players/" or "Media players" and then move it back to it's original place.

It's the way Patcarla has organized his apps.

Or is VLC supposed to be themed regardless of the location ? Mine didn't.

Nice green theme! Very summery- even though it's soon fall.

[cube3]

A bit late Zimph, 'cos I am getting exactly the kind of response I want. Consider yourself baited Would you like to continue or can I lose the idiots face from my sync?

Dunno if it's just me Pat, but I am getting the above back arrow error in Safari. gray theme.

Yeah, I'll work on the ichat title bar later. That is not top priority at the moment by I'm definitely aware of it.
Yes, color variant are indeed planned but not untill next SS/TP release

Thanks.
This location problem sounds strange to me..
May be smeger could answer this one

Yeah, I have that sometimes too in safari.. Don't know why
The only way I found to get around this is to relaunch safari.
It seems that sometimes all the elements wouldn't load..another question for Jason..

[cube3]

k then sorted, sorry about that.

Happens here too, and I have the impression it's after switching from a guiKit without Safari skin to a skinned one. I usually reapply the theme or better yet launch out/in like the book says.

Yeah, Log out/in after applying a theme is the best way to avoid bugs like that.

How are those iPod mini themes goin'?

This is caused by a bug in ShapeShifter 1.2 (actually, it's a bug in ThemePark 1.3). SS 1.3 and TP 1.4 fix it.

Sounds like a plan
