That theme is so smooth and slick. That one is a real beauty. Maybe there could be a darker version, but not a black one. I mean just a little bit darker, but anyway this could one of my favorites

[Syzygy]

Neat... I really don't like the window buttons though :-/

[G0Ducks]

simply.... This theme rocks bummy!

Digging all fullness of the design. Very complete. Looks best with metalifizer off.

[bluevertical]

kick ass!!

bv.

[iNeusch]

Love the blue light under selected buttons/menu
can't wait to try it !!!

[brutal]

WOW! awesome! can't wait to download this baby!!

[kovacs]

[iNeusch]

Anyone could recommend a -complete- icon set to use with that ?

[mugget]

wow! awesome!! i love the slight glow under it all.

this has just given me more ideas for a Matrix theme!

[Makki]

Very nice theme. However after using it for a little while it aint my taste and it reminds me of AlumiteX which i like alot.

thx
Makki

[p.h..i...l....]

Beatiful, sexy and still very usable. I love it. /me is using snow.e2 graphite as icon set at the moment.

This could work:



PS this is just a quick photoshop mock-up and I don't have the intention or time to convert the complete set...

[Patcarla]

yeah.. really good one.
Well done Daisuke

Too bad... looks good

[wibs]

for .9b this theme rocks... hell for ANY version this theme rocks. My initial impression was "meh, it's another smooth grey one." After a few minutes of playing around with it, this is definitely something special .

[solidfox]

Very nice theme!

New favorite in the white category.

Well I never heard that said before...

[sixz]

Just had a moment to fire it up - Looks good even if the
finder's 'close, collapse, minimize' widgets are nothing to wet
your jeans over and does look a little similar to AlumiteX -
A subtle 'Tron' styling to the over all feel of it helps make it unique.
It's an extremely clean and simple, very usable theme.

(Good to see a white theme that doesn't squish finder
view widgets when they are de-pressed)

[cybergoober]

OT

NEOS updated as well�

Translated from DSKY's Site:
Name is SIRO (= white). Until the it is, the shank.

Yep, its definitely the shank. Where does Babelfish get all this stuff? Its like its a random word generator and just puts it in the spaces... So strange...

It's da Shank !!

[eyevaan]

so nice - love the glowing buttons. The backlight effect is great.


subtle. . . perhaps too subtle at times, would like the glow effect around the menu selection but perhaps he tried that already.

[AWShuttleworth]

Wow.

This is gorge.

No complaints. I'm hooked.

[cube3]

I like it a lot, the widget carve on the window bar is reminiscent of AlumiteX, but his blue underlight is so sweet. Don't know how keen I am on the Xanthic type scroll cut out, Xanthics was sweet, this one I don't like too much.

On the whole though I think it's very sexy, and curse the fact that anyone who does an underlight will now be "copying" him

[Makki]

Tis strange at first i didnt really like this theme i was like just a AlumiteX coy but after seeing cmove's latest dtop i am like yo i need to give this baby another try so thanks much for the theme im loading her up now.

What icos would go good with Sino? anyideas

thx

I agree with you. Soon the forum will be blinding with accusations of copying conspiracies related to those who have turned to the light...

lol

Ohh but if you overlight that would be completely diff...

I am using Milk Icons by Ben 'Kame' Thompson
http://www.0three0.net
unfortunately the site was blown out by his host...

but I think I got them from Xicons.com or one of the popular sites.

pair it with a dark blue screen and it is great.

I just want a complete version of the set in general, it's just missing a few important icons. Your glowing version is cool too.

AluminiteX? I think not! Looks nothing like it. Looks great too!

[DigitalEl]

Simple. Beautiful. This is one nice theme... And I didn't think anything would yank my attention from the also-beautiful ProLCD for awhile. I look forward to the full ver. 1.0, with more appskins. My only suggestion, not that anyone asked... Is that I second the opinion of someone above who says it's almost too subtle. The light blue light could be bolder or perhaps integrated into Menu selections, as well. Ahh, but what do I know!?

[rhythmicmoose]

I have to say, I think I like this more than ProLCD. The feel to it is just amazing. It's just as tangible as NEOS, but a thousand times more usable.

It is most definitely the shank. It wins my coveted Shankinest Theme Of The Year Award.

[schuey100]

Slightly too bright for my liking. I hate dark themes but I'd like this a tiny bit darker. I also don't like the 'shiny' title bars. However saying all that, it's the best theme in a long long long time. Very nice.

[ARENA]

This theme is really beautiful. i instantly switched...and that almost never happens

[Stuphalina]

I foresee "the shank" becoming a new MacNN synonym for anything cool.

So, yeah, this theme is "da shank!"

[brazil]

Itz the Shankiest theme theme I've seen in a while . Dang Shankadelic . Trippin' over here .

[orcinus]

Hmmm... Now where did i see that bright blue lighting before... And those progress bars... Hmmm...

Ofcourse, his theme DOES exist while my DOESN'T so i guess i'm in no position to claim anything

Orcinus

Edit: scroll bars too...

[justinp]

I hope the circular animation dealy in Safari (whatever that's called) changes for the 1.0 release.

[Komisar]

I still like what kovaks did either though he said he doesnt intend on doing it .... would be quite cool!... its a grreat theme though

[Sage]

Damn, it's gorgeous, but... the 1px strokes are way too dark and crisp, making it feel fake. If the strokes were softened up a bit (like the stroke around the Large Push Button, for instance), that would really cinch it for me. Also, there are a few minor errors, such as the tick-slider (I forget what it's actually called) not showing the down state, but that's a small thing. Those dark lines though really do make it kinda... not as good as it could be.

Still, I have high hopes for this theme , and it's a job very well done.

Ditto to that...that seems to be one of the most unpolished things in this release.

[NetworkShadow]

Agreed. Also the Finder side bar is missing the hi-light graphic, it's just the blue aqua graphic. I wouldn't change a thing about it otherwise.

[Komisar]

Yeah thats the only problem too in my opinion otherwise its a freaking amaxing sleek sexy theme

[bluevertical]

wow. guys.. enjoy the awesome theme this guy put many hours of hard work into... at least for a while before you pick it apart...
either way... i'm enjoying it.
peace.

[kwyjiboy]

My life is complete. Shank-you, DSKY!

[FB Eye]

You gotta love Babelfish!!! Taken from DSKY's web site today:

Is concerning "SIRO", but making the iTunes skin complete, we would like to designate version as 1.0 formally at the stage which adds the iChat skin there. At that time perhaps it changes name. After releasing, becoming, you are what even by your, it called very and the air being attached to the notion that where it is harsh name, it did.... "The sino" making a mistake even with the forum of the foreign country, the it does. With with the notion that where you say, it makes "SIRO" only between beta edition as a tentative name. It does not inhale. When something there is a plan of the parenthesis good name, being to like to refer the mail.

[jerseyfreeze]

It definitely does not inhale.

[fireside]

the only thing i would add is the little blue light thing that appears under the buttons when pressed is the same thing to the top of the button. i dunno, i just think that would look awesome.

[rhythmicmoose]

Originally posted by jerseyfreeze:

Yeah. I noticed that. I hope it's fixed by the 1.0 release.

[testnull]

This theme makes me wish I could change the focus ring color to that greenish color he uses. Then it'd be complete.
