After 2 months and alot of.... f**k why does themepark do that? I'm proud to say Classix 10k is avaliable for download. Its a port of Gigatexel's and Bant's wonderful windows theme. Not a full on port, alot of the windows elements just don't work on the mac. So its my own rendition of the theme.

Whats included:

4 Theme variations
Safari Skin's
iChat Skin's
4 Desktops
4 Adiums Themes

Click the pic for a full preview

Click to download

I will have a website in around a week or two. Also look out for a theme update that will include a cool desktop from BrianC and more....

The blue kicks ass, and the brown is also very cool! love this theme.

kidd0 · Apr 18, 2004, 08:42 PM

Good job Chris, not my style.. but it's a great port.
Yeah, no more b***hing and moaning about your theme on iChat

Silvorgold · Apr 18, 2004, 08:43 PM

sweet dude, it's a pretty nice theme but u know that

congratz and finally its out!

NetworkShadow · Apr 18, 2004, 08:45 PM

Make sure you try it, the preview image doesn't do it justice. Also try and match your desktop to it and that really helps.

Fixed the link, sorry about that guys...

RydDragyn · Apr 18, 2004, 09:22 PM

Cool. Reminds me of QNX for some reason. Although this definitely has a more modern feel to it.

Good job!

justinp · Apr 18, 2004, 11:01 PM

I think you should make a black variation (I know that's exactly what you wanted to hear after finishing it.

)

songoku912 · Apr 18, 2004, 11:17 PM

Been waiting for this one for a long time

Not black, it would have to be a dark grey... black would be too dark.

There's no such thing as too dark!

Considering the theme is mostly a light tan color, yes black would be too dark.

mac15 · Apr 19, 2004, 01:36 AM

I'm going to do a grey version and a few others. I wanna ad more app skins and fix alot of stuff. In a few weeks you should see an update

Patcarla · Apr 19, 2004, 02:08 AM

Well done Chris

I like trhe blue variant too

kovacs · 03:55 AM

Great

Love the blue one, I'm not sure about the black text on the blue background, I think it would look much better if the text was white like in the rest of the theme...

orcinus · Apr 19, 2004, 07:05 AM

Really cool looking minimalistic port

And great color schemes too!

Just a few comments / suggestions, though:
- the down arrow traffic glyph (in the titlebar) seems to have pure white pixels whereas other ones (x and �+) don't
- finder action button's glyph is of different style than others used in theme (1px shadow instead of 1px outline)
- toolbar button in the titlebar also doesn't fit the overall style
- rounded text fields have stretched out caps (and don't fit the theme either)

Hope i didn't sound too nitpicky...

schuey100 · Apr 19, 2004, 10:48 AM

I like this theme. Best one for ages! I do agree white text would be good. A lighter blue would be great too but I'm nitpicking

Holigen · Apr 19, 2004, 11:15 AM

Cool, nice theme. Gotta add it to my archives...

fireside · Apr 19, 2004, 01:33 PM

hawt.

fireside · Apr 19, 2004, 01:58 PM

where can i find the iconset that you shipped it with.

also, the 'you spelled this word wrong' thing is too thick. it covers up part of the text that you spelt wrong.

mac15 · Apr 20, 2004, 02:31 AM

The icons are called bluecurve, someone ported them but I can't find them

I'm working on an update. I'd really like to seperate the theme as a port (asif it isn't already) I've fixed alot of bugs too which is good

Cerbero · Apr 20, 2004, 02:42 AM

Good job on the port. I remember liking all the screenshots when this was released for Windows.

I was the one who ported the BlueCurve icons btw, you can get them here.

mac15 · 03:24 AM

Thanks, I've sucked in all the feedback and these are the new background buttons. They look so much better than before.

Cheers Cerebro! I knew you did them but where to find them

ubba · Apr 20, 2004, 08:22 AM

Just a word: awesome!

I like it a lot, good job!

Just a request, is it possible to have highlighted close button for not saved docs?

Anyway thx! Keep it up.

mac15 · Apr 20, 2004, 09:02 AM

I plan on adding that too, Glad you like the theme

If the set on the top are the new ones, they're much much much better. When you release that I can start using the theme!

ubba · Apr 21, 2004, 03:50 AM

Just another little suggestion

Could be beautiful to have also small and mini tabs.

Macromedia apps (DW, FW and so on) use them.

Thx in advance.

mac15 · 07:07 AM

Sorry about that. I'd talked to Wibs about it and he hasn't done the tabs/tab bars for Latium . So I thought I'll skip them. I'll try ad them for the next update though , no promises

Yes it's true, only few 10.3 themes have them.

I noticed yesterday that BBX 1.3 and new Shinobi theme have them

Anyway Classix rocks, w/ or w/o small & mini tabs!

The 'loading ' animation of four squares lighting up in rotation -
even in this age of 'PC tolerance' makes me ill, just to look at it.

That it's a windoze theme is strike one and two, to be reminded
by small details like that is a fastball strike out.

ARENA · Apr 21, 2004, 11:17 AM

How about a light blue and pink? i think tehy would look great.

It's odd that every time I see a whining ungrateful post like this, it's got your name attached to it. Do you have anything positive to say?

Cheers pooch, Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Anything positive to say about this theme, mmm.

yes! please mr. windoze porter - remove the windoze logo.

- are you OK now poochie.

Benign/catsank at his best ... how about this idea: if you don't like it, don't use it. I thought i'd give it a try, but it was too windoze for me. So i took it off. Simple as that. No need to post here and insult the themer ...

Twinkle toes - benign knows - I've stepped in it again
with my big toe - don't want' to make no foes - blah blah...

Sporting a windoze logo used to offend mac users...

complacent

Holigen · Apr 21, 2004, 12:45 PM

If a company logo offends you, then you are too far gone for anyone to help you. You need Jesus.

digitaljames · Apr 21, 2004, 01:12 PM

or possibly some Correctol!

Then they grew up and realized how incredibly childish it is to make a deal out of something like that.

Well, most at least.

i cant even find the windows logo.

sayonaraML · Apr 21, 2004, 04:31 PM

Put me down as liking this theme a lot too (blue version). What I don't like as much are the desktops but that's cool becuase I'm hooked on the two desktops that came with the QNX theme...

How PC of you all ;)

Here's to a world where everyone's PC.

sushiism · Apr 22, 2004, 07:23 PM

it might be a windows theme but the look is nicked from K10K.net who use macs

mac15 · Apr 23, 2004, 08:05 AM

That site is badass looking!

mac15 · Apr 25, 2004, 01:40 AM

Update:

Redoing the colours. So far I have an olive version which looks really nice! I've done a heap of app skins too! 9 of them to be exact. This version is 10x better

Oh and check VLC

Well, you're right. I was thinking something more cyan, like this:

mac15 · Apr 25, 2004, 03:15 AM

This time around I'm only going to do original windows version colours so its Olive/Carbon (dark grey), Dark Green and the colour that shown in the VLC is called Ergonomic.

I'm going on holidays for a week so its gonna take a bit longer once again but it will be done.

rhythmicmoose · Apr 25, 2004, 09:51 AM

As long as you're updating it, could you make the precise drag balls come to a point. I get really anal about those.

And any chance one of the appskins is iTunes?
