Any thoughts?

If you wanted it done I could port it pretty quickly. Doesn't look very difficult at all.

I still have to upgrade to Panther though

::has no money::

Do you have cerbero's permission?

RydDragyn · Apr 10, 2004, 03:12 PM

Me? No, I was waiting for Cerebro to step in and comment.

Also - the menubar looks pretty much like the one from NEOS.

I like the widgets though.

I dont' have Cerebro's permission. I was just... moved by his little mock-up. I don't want to step on anyone's toes.....

And I have no idea how to make a theme!

It's still a work in progress and Cerebro did the window, I just did the title bar and menu. I'll post more tomorrow night!

#1 all the way baby! Black is back and grey is ghey (not that there's anything wrong with that...). The green menu from #2 is stylin' though - maybe as an option? Anyway, looks good! Cerebro?

I'd say #6's Apple Menu and #2's Menu.

It's more of a Matrix theme... But unobtrusive.

RydDragyn · Apr 11, 2004, 04:41 PM

The last two mockups you posted wouldn't be possible.

And yes, I know how to make themes. As do many people here.

lol.. and usually people who know how to make themes are
really busy with their own ones.. I like cerbero mockup though

NetworkShadow · Apr 11, 2004, 07:38 PM

I'd say don't base it on Xbox or The Matrix and just try and make it cool. Sometimes I think the idea gets in the way of a good design.

macgeekjay · Apr 13, 2004, 11:54 AM

All right... Here's my idea for a theme. Anyone moved to make it and release it?

RydDragyn · Apr 13, 2004, 02:45 PM

Mmmm...still needs some work. Seems like a borrowing of lots of other themes' ideas and elements. I like the move towards a darker green though.

macgeekjay · Apr 13, 2004, 04:02 PM

I'll still work on it.... But it's generally my goal to have a Simple Grey/NEOS combination. I was hoping to make an unobtrusive dark gray theme. I like NEOS but don't like the menu bars and high contrast.

Meh.

I'll keep it going!

Komisar · Apr 13, 2004, 05:36 PM

If you guys check back at cerebo's other topic on this, you can see he says he doesn't have the time to do it himself and anyone else, is welcomed to do it... or at least he said sometin like that....
