I'm gonna try and make updates to all the themes to get them up to date, AA is first because it's the theme I use.

This is groin-grabbingly good news

Um this is probably not the place to discuss it but Max what happened? You used to be the all powerful king and ruler of mac themes. I guess it's cool now that there are more themers and everything but I just liked a monarchy better...

Edit: not hierarchy.. hehe

Max got a job at The Iconfactory which is why he took a step back as our primary GUI Deity. He produced an amazing icon set of games consoles which is simply astonishing. Open states and everything. Real "Dave Brasgalla Quality" stuff.

However, I don't think he's at The Iconfactory anymore, but getting on with every day life stuff now. I could be mistaken.

No, you are correct. I did have a gig at the iconfactory, but that ended some time ago. I just don't feel as creative as I used to. When I finished school is was fun to have so much time for themes, but that quickly got tiresome and now I try not to stay home as much. And making themes is so incredibly time consuming and I don't have any problem not being the "king of mac themes"... I've just taken a step back, but I haven't retired.

Since I've installed Aluminum Alloy, web pages in Safari either don't finish loading or take forever to finish rendering.

Can a theme affect Safari? I quit and restarted Safari several times but nothing seems to improve its performance.

The same pages load quickly and completely when I use Firefox.

Maybe Safari's just acting up - but the more I think about it, Aluminum Alloy simply isn't the problem. Not sure what's happening though, Safari just slowed way down for some reason - very odd.
