I didn't think this theme was that important that it required a release, but a few people have been asking for it, so here it is. i still don't think its that important, since I only changed about 6 resources... the guikit's only 24k... Oh well, here it is.

Download page (with instructions for keeping the right endcap uncovered by the clock.)

I thought I DID do them properly... what's not proper? This project started as just an excuse to see how hard it is to copy the layo resource into a different theme to make endcaps possible.

So your saying, If I resize the endcaps to that size, then it will not cover the clock without using MenuMeters? Or is there some other reason they need to be that size?

I have been patterning mine after Max's. If you make the search graphic like I said (displays menu extra) and enable it, the clock can be moved away from the colored end cap.

So.... where do I get that search thingy anyway?

You could remove all your icons except for Konfabulator and then hack it with a spotlight graphic. I released it at Aqua-Soft.

There is no aqua version. In Tiger build 8A294 ther is only a graphite theme, which is much better than aqua, in my opinion.

I think you mean: 'No aqua endcaps' They remain graphite, even if the theme is Aqua.

I think he meant for you to double click to install and then command/click and drag it to the endcap so the clock doesn't bleed over......

I tried that before I asked. I even tried Cmd+Dragging ones already on there to the left-most, in case the transparency was messing up the clicking; it just doesn't seem to be there.
