And a big sorry to my late PM replies.. I didn't know I had to actively check to see if I had PMs, so didn't notice them.. I'm typing replies right now..!

Go to user center, edit options, and select yes for "Pop up a box when you receive a Private Message?"
That way you won't need to check it manually.

Added you on iChat, so we can discuss possibilities. =)

Update: I've been working on LuGUI now for six hours solid.. Got the following done;
� Fixed half a dozen misc bugs.
� Fixed + 100% finished the Finder buttons.
� Boot panel (Not (and possibly never?) implemented yet).
� Other misc images finished.
� Fixed the biggest bug so far, that was effecting a "background" behind buttons/text in carbon apps; in the end I had to completely redo my well images, but I'm not 100% pleased, so I'm probably going to redo them again, and lighten them a touch..

It took me nearly 3 hrs to fix the last one, because I changed the backgrounds (bar the toolbars) to all the same exactly colour (which they should of been), then I had a different problem and had to colour one bright red, export, apply, open testing app, repeat until I found which were the problem..

Thank God I had some good music (Keane + Death Cab for Cutie) to listen to, or I might have gone nuts.. =)

In short: You was accepted and I added you on iChat to keep you posted on when 0.8.0 will be available.

silencedge · Oct 7, 2004, 06:04 PM

Hey Rick, you are seriously getting lots of fan mails now.

Perhaps sometimes you need to let your lappie take a break, like while you are foraging for food or something.

But anyway, great theme definitely. I will use it. Keep up the good work.

School internet connection is not allowing me to come on iChat...

esXXI · Oct 7, 2004, 09:16 PM

Hehe, get that connection fixed Alex!

Okay BIG IMPORTANT UPDATES: I gots the betas for the next versions of ThemePark and ShapeShifter from Smeger (Yaaaay!*SQUEAL*), and I'm going to be working towards including all the new stuff on the initial release, so 1.0.0 should be a very nice release.

Some things will get changed. I don't want to say what because I'm not allowed to say what's new.. Soo.. Just expect new things in general I guess.. =D

I didn't work a lot on LuGUI today because I was tired.. Unfortunately I won't get to work on it any tomorrow 'cause I'm super busy and out..

@Beta testers: I'll keep trying on getting the 0.8.0 out ASAP, but unfortunately I won't be able to send any Beta after 0.9.0 because then I'll be incorporating new ShapeShifter features, and I'll be relying on other SS-testers to test LuGUI. Sorry, but can't be helped.

That's right, there's no backwards compatibility with the new ThemePark builds and SS 1.2.
btw I PMed you about testing LutetiumGUI.

silencedge · Oct 7, 2004, 10:15 PM

@Rick: Perhaps the two days of break will be good for you. Take some time off and perhaps come back with new inspirations.

And err... I'll try get the connection fixed. Well, somehow.

so does that means people on the ss test and lugui test get to keep testing?

I don't wanna ruin everybody's fun but I must have been the only one who didn't go much on (I did the preview images for macthemes) . To me the preview looked better than the theme actually does.

been testing various incarnations and providing feedback for about 2 weeks now. i note two things: 1) sexxi works fast; 2) the macthemes preview does LutetiumGUI no justice

Haha I got the day off from doin' work.. I haven't got time to take any time off from doing it now. It's a mad rush.

Yes, they do.

Ouchie. But regardless, MacThemes previewed a much earlier build - things are tweaked, bugs are squashed and now with new SS stuff I can do some things that were holding LuGUI back. I hope I can change your mind with the first release.

Cheers Muff.

Shame you won't be able to test past 0.8.0... But then you can help test LuMetem and stuff. =D

Twister · Oct 8, 2004, 10:17 AM

All this talk of new SS and new Theme park and Betas..... i feel so left out.

Hopefully it'll be out sooner than later! Keep up the good work!!

esXXI · Oct 10, 2004, 07:21 PM

Lots of personal **** going on at the moment. I'll post whenever things get sorted.

I'd appreciate no bugging for new betas. [Insert glare at Phill]

Hope all is well.. Take care of yourself and your life.. a theme is just pixels and can wait for another time..

Ji Eun · Oct 11, 2004, 09:23 AM

esXXI and lugui will not disappear. when he says he'll be back, he doesn't mean next month, he means a few days to a week tops. i'd stake my fortune on it.

(sexxi, don't prove me wrong, babe.)

Great.. so what you two are saying is that he is going to get 2 wooden nickels and a whole lot of pocket lint?!?!.....

esXXI · Oct 11, 2004, 04:05 PM

Muff be right.

Things be sorted.

I be a happy chap again after some pain.

LuGUI lives on. The next few days I'll try to get ahead, and DAMNED WELL TRY TO GET THE 0.8.0 BETA OUT.

Not to be rude, but try rating my theme on how it looks and feels, rather than how the poster looks..

I wasn't rating anything. I was just making a comment. Nowhere in my post did I rate anything, or even speak about your theme.

No need to get your panties in a knot.

I swear, it has gotten really hostile in this part of the forum lately.

You ladies need to stop all the hissing and honking.
