Since SS 2.0 is coming up some time in the future (hopefully sooner rather than later) I'm wondering what themes people want to see updated.

I'd really like to see GuiPod and GargageBand updated. App skins and any new features SS 2.0 will have would be awesome.

Seph · Oct 14, 2004, 11:18 AM

Jetblack with the usability fixes

I dont see my other fav themes getting better (unless the stuff they have planeed is REALLY groundbreaking) and thus, Milk, Siro and Soft aqua neednt worry

nooon · Oct 14, 2004, 11:23 AM

Siro, Milk and Aqua Extreme

Gerrit Vanoppen · Oct 14, 2004, 11:40 AM

Would the SSv1 themes continue to work in SSv2 ?
Will SSv2 have a completely different structure that will force all themers to update all their themes ?
Can a SSv1 theme be imported to run in SSv2, then later be expanded using the new possibilities of SSv2 ?

roosta · Oct 14, 2004, 11:51 AM

lets see, good grey, simplex 2 and lutetium (if we ever get to see it)

hopefully the upgrade price will be reasonable.

Swiz's PowerMetal

IIRC, Smeger said there wouldn't be any upgrade pricing yet, but would certainly for future updates.

NetworkShadow · Oct 14, 2004, 12:57 PM

All of them

FB Eye · 01:40 PM

1) Sosumi
2) Imagination
3) SS Pearl
4) Pez
5) SS Final Cut Pro

Guess I'm the old school type of guy

eyevaan · Oct 14, 2004, 01:41 PM

PEZ!!!! yay! someone remember that one ... and Imagination rocks - but sorely needs an update.

Seph · Oct 14, 2004, 01:50 PM

LuGUI is being built around SS2.0 so it will be "updated" for it

Don't we have to see what's new first?

Ji Eun · Oct 14, 2004, 03:20 PM

pro plastic, powermetal, and prosoft plastic are the ones that first jump to my mind.

Yes, No, Yes.

And yes, roosta, ShapeShifter 2.0 is a free upgrade for registered users. Future updates will not necessarily be free, but 2.0 is a freebie.

What happened to Omega?? If I dare ask

SS 2.0 was going to be 1.3, so no it's not past the "Omega 1.5"... (been siad before 100 times already)

swiz · Oct 14, 2004, 07:54 PM

For the record, I will be focusing on adding complete appskins to my current offerrings before the completion and release of Label'Os. I am hoping to have all of them complete by the end of Nov. Some will take longer than others because they will be seeing overall refinements and enhancements too.

Awesome! Does this include iTunes too?

Awesome. I know you probably get asked this about eleventy billion times a day but I have to ask... How much longer 'till it's release? I can't wait anymore... I CAN'T WAIT!

That is awesome!

I kind of feel like I'm at a party except I wasn�t invited.

What I mean is, how can everyone know what themes they want updated when most(?) of us don't know what all the new features of SS will be?

Or am I the only one who�s in the dark?

no you're not. most of us don't know what features will be in SS 2.0. We're just hoping i guess.

I expect Siro, Guipod and Aqua extreme/Smooth Stripe to be updated. I hope full iTunes and Quicktime skins to work in SS 2.0. please smeger?

I'd be rather worried if you lot didn't, after 5 weeks of hard work.

And the SS1.x -> SS2.0 upgrade is free, according to Smeger.

I'm looking forward to seeing particularly what Max Rudberg does with the new features..

roosta · Oct 15, 2004, 12:15 PM

a cleaned up In Motion with visible lists might be nice.

i'd add good grey, but i can't think of any way to really improve it. maybe some skins for itunes, firefox and quicktime.

will the shapeshifter upgrade be compatible with os 10.4? the current one didn't want to play nice with the first two releases of 10.4.

Twister · Oct 15, 2004, 12:35 PM

Very cool swiz. Never seen that one before!!

CreepingDeth · Oct 16, 2004, 01:25 AM

If by some act of God text colors can have greater modification, then JetBlack would be my first choice. Shame with the lack of skins and usability problems. I though the theme was great.

Sorry for the bump...

I downloaded DXB (MenuEnhancer) or whatever it is called from www.padmacolors.net a few days ago. It seems to be packaged with icons and desktops, so i assume it was updated for use with Shapeshifter 2.0...

Yeah, I believe that version is 101804. You assume correctly.......

VxWolfxV · Nov 11, 2004, 11:15 PM

My version says 20041029...

One theme I'd love to see updated for SS2.0 is the QNX theme. The titlebar widgets on the current version don't render correctly with SS.

I'm considering an update to QNX, I think I may try to rework it but we'll see if I have time or not.
