Happy New Year folks.

I finally got around to updating my theme, Fetish, but it needs beta testers and critique. I've included an icon set with this version, but it will likely change (be improved) for the final release. There are no plans to skin iTunes, as that is TEDIOUS, and it actually fits well with the default iTunes skin anyway.

EDIT: alright, I've changed my mind. I've started an iTunes skin. The last iTunes skin I designed was for version 4, it was a different ballgame then. Anyway, it's turning out rather well... so i will post a second beta within the next few weeks. I'm also committing to a Safari skin, Quicktime, and VLC. You may request other app skins, but my time is limited as i work full-time, go to school full-time, maintain personal clients, and i have an active personal life... so no promises on extras.

I'd be willing to help out...but I have a question/request.
I use Ruler Aero and like/enjoy the transparency of things. No other themes seem to include that, and Ruler is like...not being worked on anymore. Do you think you could include your work on this theme with transparency?

there are no plans to do a transparent version, is that something you can accomplish by using the tweak feature in shapeshifter?

so you killed the red completely? I thought the red accents made it stand out a bit. I like the menus, and the I have always thought the window titlebar was a highlight in your work. Looking forward to the progress updates. BTW - Flagship is as always a wonderfully bright kit for the workspace.

no, i haven't killed the red.... in fact the iconset has a red variant. im in a toss up between, leaving all the red accents in the theme, or having one variant with the accents, and one without.

You are aware that not many will beta test this due to the fact that there is no iTunes skin. I reckon(without having downloaded this) that there is no QuickTime, DVD Player nor VLC skin. I stopped following progress on this theme and the other one you do, FlagShip after you dropped the last one namely FlagShip.

/end rant. Thank you very much for continuing to theme even if it's just for yourself.

No other themes seem to include that,
Basically true, although "Glass with Class" and "Greensleeves Glass"
can be downloaded from Makki Studios... they are not quite as nice
as Ruler Aero. I too am puzzled why more translucent themes aren't
generally available. Where did Landwebber and Rose disappear to?!?!
-HI-
