Hardly any difference between a 3D girly

both are unreal ;)

Firstly, it's Spy. I'd also like to clarify that that's a Jaguar screenshot, not a Panther screenshot.

Spy 3.0 by James "007" Bond - no longer available

Product Description:
Spy is a useless little tool that sucks up really important CPU
time to display some info about your system load. Spy is as
unobtrusive as possible. Its original goal was to take less
screen space than the Mac OS X utility CPU Monitor. It does
so by lodging itself in the menu bar.

Spy displays two kind of information, your CPU
load and your network load.

Thanks Brien - Remember it now, the Product
Description put me off ;)
Have you tried Menumeters ?
Jag or Panther - why over 800Kb ?

Just playing around a bit, though it's actually very functional for everyday use.

That's the only theme I ever use...... with an occasional switch to Maxs' "Brushed".

The most original theme ever created for OS X........ in my opinion.

The simplicity is beautiful.

I dunno why its over 800k. And it is Jag, but with Matallifizer4 on the Finder and Max's Aqua Extreme theme.

It was done by a friend in a 3D app, I could email it to you if you'd like, i'm not sure if it's on the web though.

Could you give a link to the theme?

And also what variation of the theme do you use?

Lord Sith · Oct 8, 2003, 10:15 PM

It is by Butt O'Sigh
It's called: "DXB"

Find it at resexcellence.com

do you have to manuall set your icons to the upper left every time, or is there a way you keep them there all the time?

Sage · Oct 8, 2003, 10:48 PM

I don't think Butt O'Sigh likes to have direct links to the theme (maybe for legality reasons, since it's based on an interface Apple made years ago), but you can find the directions on this screenshot... The text around the link has changed, but just remember that it's the second link down.

And also what variation of the theme do you use?

Other than the fact that that link is a combined download for DXB and Teqqua, there aren't any "variations" to speak of.

NetworkShadow · Oct 9, 2003, 12:33 AM

I also posted this in one of the themes in Panther topics too, but here you go.

Just ThemeFured SSpro again for the latest Panther build that should be the GM.
Anyway here are some screens (click for full 1280x1024 screens):
Looking good except for brushed Finder:

A small bug with the save window in Photoshop:

Mainly all that needs to be redone is the tabs, and the sooner Unsanity gets de-Metallifizer out for Panther the better.

Is Adium 2 really gonna have support for the MSN protocol, that would be awesome. Nice fake btw.

phillryu · Oct 14, 2003, 08:48 PM

Adium 2 will have support for all major protocols within a couple months. They are working on adding a gaim core right now, which means instant access to all of its services the minute they get it working.

KICK ASS! Proteus is getting a bit slow now.

And I love the astetics of Adium, but NEED ICQ, AIM, MSN, & ICQ access.

Yeah, I got it at www.mixthepix.com. Hein Mevissen creates really cool icons, and this wallpaper came with the new 17" AL icon.

I feel the same way.. I've loved Proteus in the past (I even paid for it), but it's getting a bit clunky. I'll definitely be checking out Adium once libgaim is in there.

That's the generic icon for Unix executables in Panther.

digitaljames · Oct 17, 2003, 07:50 PM

Woot! Finally got my G5 back from Apple yesterday....I'm thinking I'll not install Panther until the theming apps catch up and stay with the smooth running Jag....
