apparently my friend says he heard from jason's friend that jason said icons will probably be in at least by shapeshifter 2.1, if not 2.5

okay then... maybe it controls font colors... or other effects like animations, transparency?

...hmm... or maybe a way to combine themes?

2 days... ok back to life

oh one more thing, are we counting down to a specific time, like 12am GMT?
Dont wanna miss it or anything

FB Eye · Oct 25, 2004, 12:12 AM

The tab will add the ability to load CandyBar iContainers...

Just a wild guess

aha

mugget · Oct 25, 2004, 02:41 AM

about icons, animated icons were coming weren't they? well, that'll be sweet.

But midnight where?

Midnight for me is 4 hours ahead of the American East Coast and 8 hours or whatever ahead of the West, because I live in London, the centre and reference point of world time. Most Western European countries are one or two hours ahead of me, and the Aussies and Japs are something like 12 hours ahead. There is no standard world time, so how can you possibly say that a worldwide release will be "at midnight".

Where's smeger from? Arizona I seem to recall. That's 6 hours behind me I beleive. Should we use smeger's time or mine?

I vote for mine. It is GMT 0, only a few miles from the Greenwich meantime line itself, and the reference point for time accross the whole world... And 6 hours shorter wait!

cube3 · Oct 25, 2004, 05:53 AM

Smeger is from Uzbekhistan, it says so on his website. He's got lots of photo's and **** of him with camels and ploughs.

I am not the one who does the final 'push-out' and 'release' routine, but my wild guess would be at around noon or 1 PM of Utah time (whatever timezone it is), if not later. So don't hold your breath and madly refresh the pages right when midnight comes in whatever timezone you are.

Then again, I may be blatantly wrong. I dunno. I am just a grunt coder. =)

Okay. The whole "daylight savings" thing confuses me.

aManDrinksMilk · Oct 25, 2004, 08:06 AM

naah not London... Finland would be better. It's 2 hours ahead i think. And I live there hehe. Then Midnight would be nice.

penguinn · Oct 25, 2004, 08:25 AM

its 8:25am, oct 25 here in toronto. That's eastern time. That means probably 24 hours left? Unless you're doing a crazy midnight release

Well, when it's not Daylight Savings (should switch here in a few weeks) then the east coast will be 6 hours behind GMT.

And Utah time is in the Mountain time zone as I recall, so MDT right now. MST in a few weeks.

midnight hawaiian time sounds good, but if you know wut hawaiian time is then midnight hawaiian time could be any time from midnight to 4pm

FB Eye · Oct 25, 2004, 02:38 PM

Geez guys, smeger finally gives us a release date, and now we're debating down to the minutes...

This crowd is impossible to please

Just go to bed early tonight, it'll be tomorrow sooner!!! Get up, pee, make a fresh pot of coffee and then go download SS 2.0

See, this is what happens when you stay up too late waiting for something

He *may* be from Easter Island for all I know, but he lives in Tempe, Arizona and attends Arizona State University (according to his "Geekspif" web site.

I should buy him a beer or two, since I work right across the street from Sun Devil Stadium

Aluminum · Oct 25, 2004, 05:22 PM

And I'm down in Tucson.

eme · Oct 25, 2004, 06:43 PM

this would have been a great place to check his location

puppetswhokill · Oct 25, 2004, 06:51 PM

hooowah

jcontonio · Oct 25, 2004, 07:10 PM

I am in Southern Scottsdale. How weird.

digitaljames · Oct 25, 2004, 07:11 PM

One day left for the themes......but I still have to continue to wait on the *real* gem....Themepark

Jason rocks!

Komisar · Oct 25, 2004, 07:30 PM

Setting phasers to stun, photon torpedoes awaiting launch, setting theme to default aqua, setting icons to default aqua, Shapeshifter 2.0 Imminent

Edit: please turn this in to a teaser

I'm in that 8-story glass building across from Sun Devil Stadium, right on Tempe Town Lake (corner of Mill Ave. & Rio Salado Parkway - R&R Partners, Suite 210 if anyone wants to send a beer!

)

gautch · Oct 25, 2004, 07:45 PM

Hmm.. i to am an Arizonian....i Swear iv seen Smeger out side of Gordon Bierche (sp?) on Mill ave.

kwyjiboy · Oct 25, 2004, 07:50 PM

I am going to

when this is released.

Ice Spectre · Oct 25, 2004, 07:59 PM

I sure could go for some shapeshifter right about now...

.saNNic. · Oct 25, 2004, 08:05 PM

It would be really neat if the extra tab enabled LogIn Panel and Boot Panel modifications/installation. Granted this would be altering system resources so the proper cautions would need to be followed.

Anyway........ that's my guess.

Aluminum · Oct 25, 2004, 08:26 PM

Tucson here as well! and Tempe on the weekends, I am starting to think there is some correlation between hot weather and those who like to theme

Aluminum · Oct 25, 2004, 08:31 PM

hmm, maybe unsanity will post it at midnight

Anyone know? If so I might just have to wait up, I am a night owl anywooo.

Probably, I skateboard by there pretty regularly. I'm the freak skating barefoot with blue toenails.

You guys are nuts, btw...

Okay, here's the last of my so-fun series of vague statements of the day:

"In the past, the ShapeShifter preference pane could read guiKit, dlta, and .theme files. Not any more."

See ya tomorrow!

"Not any more" as in "not any more than those three?" A new theme format? Or something other than normal theme files?

I'm still pulling for iContainers, personally.
