Great job on this theme emulation.

Now, it would be great if someone could post an edited version of LaunchBar with a blue background menu icon, like Fluid's screenshot has displayed. If I knew which file within LaunchBar's resources was the menu item icon, I could edit it myself.

I understand that perfectly well, but since a Tiger theme is currently built on what we see in screenshots, I was hoping the brushed elements might also be changed. (Just not a big fan of the whole brushed look, that's why I use smooth stripes)

Agreed. I don't like brushed either. It just seems so dated now anyways.

Yours is going to be much more refined...

I didn't mean to offend you, i'm sorry if i did. I was just pointing out that you had posted it else where on the net.. And BlackDogs is going to be more refined... i know your was just a slap together, see what i have done version.. Nothing wrong with that, but i think most of us in the thread are looking for more than that to be modified. No hurt feelings, ya dig?

BTW: Nice design work you do

and i like the site too..

look buddy if your going to make your own tiger theme don't post it in my forum

ajaime · Jul 2, 2004, 11:33 AM

Sorry about that, I thought it was a group effort, since there are people that wanted it.

Cheers!

Photo678 · Jul 2, 2004, 11:35 AM

Dont fight guys, you should both put your heads together. I thinnk both themes contain elements that the other one needs.

Great work both of you, and believe me we all appreciate your efforts

For the life me..... I have spent the whole day trying to mod launchbar, as in fluids screenshot. There is just NO way to have it sit in the menu bar.

What do you mean by "sit in the menu bar?"

Photo678 · Jul 2, 2004, 03:17 PM

In fluids screenshot in the screenshots thread, he claims he has modded launchbar to sit as an endcap like in tiger on the right side of the finder bar.

I have tried for hours to unsucessfully do this

Mrjinglesusa · Jul 2, 2004, 03:32 PM

I've got Tiger Preview. If anyone needs JPGs of resources let me know. I know nothing about theming so I don't know what you would need or where it is.

I believe that in the old version of LaunchBar the icon did 'sit' in the menu bar. The new beta versions are different though, and there is no icon to my knowledge.

Eh. I use Quicksilver now anyways.

Lancer409 · Jul 2, 2004, 08:07 PM

i will always use shapeshifter .. reguardless of apples gui .. i like choice ..

Photo678 · Jul 2, 2004, 09:26 PM

AAHHH, thanks for the heads up.

Ok, so I pretty much got it. Now heres the deal, the icon will only cover so much of the menu bar. What needs to happen is that the theme needs to have the last 70 or so pixels on the right, be blue, so to give the appearance that it is the icon in tiger.

After the that, a simple mod of some of the resources in the version 3 of launchbar, and we have a gui that looks just like tiger.

ajaime · Jul 3, 2004, 12:40 AM

Here is the Tiger theme, its a .dlta because of the menu hack, if anyone knows how to keep the menu hacked and make it a guiKit let me know. But it works great.

SwarmyCurve · Jul 3, 2004, 01:45 AM

Great job, ajaime!

Macanoid · Jul 3, 2004, 01:55 AM

really, really nice!!

Do you have any plans to release a graphite version of the theme?? I mean with the apple menu graphite?

Great theme, but what about changing the highlight color to the lighter blue you are using in the menu bar?

mac15 · Jul 3, 2004, 05:52 AM

Great work! I was hoping Max would ad this to his ever expanding Aqua Extreme. Because his resources are much much nicer

Max is making this theme too.. See his forum for more details

here is the newest version of tiger by alex and me

very nice! you guys are doing great. thanks for all the work.

would you have to ask max if you could his sunken buttons in this theme? that would be awesome.

blackdog12345 · Jul 5, 2004, 08:41 PM

here is the lateist update download and enjoy

DigitalEl · Jul 6, 2004, 01:12 AM

The updates are great. Nice to see a collaboration working out so well.

It would be really helpful if you would spell out what's changed with each of your updates. How is the 5:41 p.m. update different than the 7:17 a.m. update, for instance.

They're small downloads, but now I have to wait 'til I get home from work to learn what's up.

Thanks.

Dave-o� · Jul 6, 2004, 08:50 AM

Looking good guys.. It seems that you two have really made progress on this theme!! Are there plans for a no-brushed metal variation in the future? What about the menu highlight color? Are you guys going to lighten the shade of blue used?

Thanks for the hard work and great efforts!

Twister · Jul 6, 2004, 10:10 AM

Looking good. Now we just need the finder buttons back and the menu highlight color back.

Good work.

ajaime · Jul 6, 2004, 11:17 AM

which finder buttons & menu highlights????

Macanoid · Jul 6, 2004, 11:19 AM

The theme is very beautifully designed. Thanks a lot. Personal wishes for a next update are the following:

Brushed metal in the new lighter grey look
a graphite version
no stripes (in menues)

Sorry for the list, but as I can't theme myself I have to ask you for this favour.

Thanks again and I look forward to future updates!!

ajaime · Jul 6, 2004, 11:26 AM

To use the other windows on the finder use demetalifizer from unsanity.org.

It gets rid of the metal look for the mean time.

Twister · Jul 6, 2004, 01:05 PM

are menu highlights to match the blue apple? I guess i haven't looked at tiger that closely. Also blackdog made buttons. they may have been for fun and not matching Tiger buttons.

Nope, that screenshot is Aqua, not brushed metal.

Does anyone have a screenshot of this in action? I would much like some functionality on my "spotlight"-area as well.

there is a new version you can download it in the same place

I (and others) are really enjoying this theme, and it's frequent updates, but could you please post what changes are made in each version and perhaps a screenshot?

I really think this will increase intrest in this theme.

(this is just a serving suggestion)
Thanks.
