Those new buttons look so much better, its really refined now. I love it

Holigen · Feb 26, 2004, 05:11 AM

Latiums new buttons are magically delicious and a part of this complete breakfast!

haley · Feb 26, 2004, 09:21 AM

I kind of miss that boxy-outline thing, but I'm sure that when I try it out they will be great.

I'm using the newest version, and here is what FireFox looks like:

This might be a firefox problem, but I thought I would point it out.

I really like this theme. The only one I can use for any length of time besides my favorite which is GuiPod.

what is the problem specifically? it just looks like a simple window titlebar style to me. i must be missing something in that screenshot, heh.

Hi there,
first I'd like to say that you have done a really great job.Your theme is so refreshing and original !
I've ported it to Objectbar (finder bar emulation program for windows)...
...and I was wondering will you give me permisson to release it on my hompepage with my other OS X themes ports ?
This is the port preview :

and you can check my other ports (all done with permissons from original authors) on my HOMEPAGE .
As you will see I've ported almost every major OS X theme and I really would like to include yours aswell.

You can mail me at : [email protected] or you can post your answer right here.
In any case tnx for creating such a great theme
stay well and keep it cool
Crni

Sure thing you can release it. I'm never going to get around to making a windows version, so I can't see a reason why not

Great - THANKS wibs

One more thing - can you please post a screenshot of selected 'apple' logo ?
I wasn't able to find any screenhot like that so that's the only thing that is missing in my port.
Also in future if you release more color variations may I port that aswell ?

tnx again
stay well
Crni

no problem... just sent you an email with the images attached (but my email is fickle so I'm posting here to let you know I sent it)

I was referring to the sort of speckled looking area behind the buttons - I presume that would be pinstripes in plain aqua --- it was the only app that looks like that. Is that pattern really your intention? Firefox doesn't ever look like that except when Latium is applied. I hope this clarifies.

Thanks.

ah, now I see what you're talking about. Hm, I really don't have a clue what causes that. I'll look around, but no promises.

wibs · Mar 11, 2004, 09:32 AM

Just so you guys know that this isn't a dead project, there's another preview up at digitalramen.com, along with a bit of info. Nothing too earth shaking, but it's there if you're interested.

haley · Mar 11, 2004, 09:41 AM

The preview for v.2 looks very nice! Only thing that is bugging me is the fact that the selected View button (icon/list/column) is the same color as the inactive forward button. Just a small inconsistency I noticed, it would work better if the selected View button was the lighter color of the active back button.

Other than that though, it looks perfect. I like the darker tones you picked too.

And just for the record, Latium is still my favorite theme, even though I may not be using it at the moment.

Twister · Mar 11, 2004, 10:56 AM

Ohh two is much cooler. I like the new scroll bars.

Holigen · Mar 11, 2004, 11:20 AM

Woohoo, very nice wibs. I love the scroll bars!

codywalton · Mar 11, 2004, 11:54 AM

very nice. much improved! Personally, I'm still waiting for color variations before I could really feel comfortable using it. I don't really like green. Perahps blue, grey, or white... But I like the new button and scrollbar designs much better

meem · Mar 11, 2004, 02:47 PM

OMG this theme rocks. I never thought I would buy something like shapeshifter until I saw this. Its so much easier on the eyes than anything I have seen. I've found my self editing photo's in photoshop (such as making skies green) to match.

Keep up the good work.

wibs · Mar 11, 2004, 04:21 PM

thanks for pointing that out haley... now that you mention it, the selected window view mode button does need some tweaking. that inactive state was a new tweek yesterday, and I hadn't noticed how similar a 50% opacity for unclicked state is to a simply greener version of the clicked state, lol.

Twister · Mar 11, 2004, 05:13 PM

any ETA?

late march, early april. I could have it done in a couple days if I rushed it and ignored my other priorities, but, well, I don't think I need to say any reasons why I don't want to do that.

I know how that is, sucks to have a life at times.

Twister · Mar 12, 2004, 09:14 AM

sounds good to me. !!

wibs · Mar 12, 2004, 03:08 PM

Oh, something worth pointing out. I'm sorry to have to do this, but Latium will be jumping on the not-until-SS 1.2 bandwagon. I was going to release it before then, but there are a couple new features that are pretty much necessary. I'll do what I can to have a simulatenous releease though, and if SS 1.2 takes much longer I'll try to cram a bunch of color varations in, too.

If there's enough interest I'll release a DLTA version if I finish before 1.2 comes out, but that's really not something I want to do.
