So, maybe I'll ask Makki later to port this to Konfab

Your work is great, keep churning stuff out (the icons you have on the way in particular are amazing).

I took the liberty of making a widget from your clock graphics (for personal use), but haven't got round to actually writing the code for it. Let me know if you want it, should save someone a few minutes

get off your high horse, it wasn't original when you did it either.

Quite a nice theme, bit blue though I'd like to see the "graphite" version

You've lived a sheltered life, the dimsum and hanzatsu litestep themes/windowblinds skins by anzromero (or was it aznromeo I always forget, talented guy in the GUI scene a few years back anyway) predate your stuff by several years
For God sake get over yourself, your not original in the slightest. Sure this theme isn't that original either but its not like you do anything mindblowing.

Please stop these postings. Every single thread that has turned this way has been locked. I would hate to see this thread get locked, and so would the author. So can i ask you to stop with the negative BBX posts.

Thank you for your time one this,
Dave

there's only one mod here and he rarely does anything.

WHICH IS WHY I'M GOING TO BE THE HOKAG -- er.. mod.

Hybrid Rainbow · Aug 27, 2004, 12:29 AM

Hey guys, dunno If u notices, but my site went down to chinatown today

... exceded limit >.<
I was about to release the update of the StonePiece skin... although the new name is Hibrido iTunes Remote (wich I'm sure will be properly ported to Konfabulator for u guys). And I've redesign some of the elements of the theme as well, I can say now, that the concept is more solid, cause I removed everything "aqua" of it (and I like it better that way ^^) Of course if the themer is up to it, an aqua-version can be released too.
The site will be up again on Sept 1st, and that's the day, where I'll show all the updates, and the new hibrido page.

Thnx for your time, and sorry for the inconveniences.

Thanks for the update Gian. Hope all is well and i'm interested in seeing your new 'mock-up' with out the aqua elements, not to mention the Konfabulator widgets..

Haha, thats a bummer. Probably because all of Mac-users going to check it out

For sure...

Sorry for the double post, but Im too lazy this early in the morning to write out the quote things myself.

Looks great...will you be eliminating all traces of Aqua cuz I see a pushbuton thats 100% Aqua.

kwyjiboy · Sep 3, 2004, 12:03 AM

This theme makes me hot and bothered. Where is it?

TheIceMan · Sep 19, 2004, 10:27 AM

The site is down. Anyone know what's the status of this theme?

cube3 · Sep 19, 2004, 09:22 PM

If his site is down it's because of his traffic allowance, same as last time. Sheesh people, you're like rabid ferrets. Also read the bit where he says he doesn't have a mac, so no themepark etc, he's pretty much at the mercy of a themer.

Talk about it... And it's "BBX this and that" again too.

Yup, the site is down, I don't want to release anything until the final look of hibrido is done. I have not that much free time either, I have to finish a web design for a client and college work (a bunch of books to read). And the themer who's gonna help me with the porting is busy too.
Anyway, I'll definatelly take some time these weeks to work on this. I've already redesign most of the gui elements, with a more solid non-aqua concept. I'll also make some space for HIBRIDO in my site.
As soon as I re-open the site, I'll post here.

Thnx for ur time.

TheIceMan · Sep 20, 2004, 09:20 AM

Hybrid Rainbow: Thanks for the update. Looking forward to its release.

Well, it's either claiming you're an OS X themer when you've only announced one theme a year ahead of time and never actually done it, or getting mad at people for stealing your ideas when their themes have anything that looks remotely similar to yours.

Or maybe it means designing really cool looking Winamp skins for a large company? I don't know.

yep, and neither of those apply to hybrid.

It means that nobody else is allowed to use the Japanese language for their themes...

philcozz · Mar 8, 2005, 07:26 PM

Just remembering today how much I was looking forward to this theme...

I hope it still lives!

esXXI · Mar 8, 2005, 07:58 PM

Apparently it's "still in the works"/"not dead." That's what I've heard on the grapevine.

philcozz · Mar 8, 2005, 08:50 PM

That's good news.

Dimethyltrypt · Mar 9, 2005, 11:11 PM

THe huge problem with the theming community is that we always see preview but no finished work. Except for SIRO and Pulsar.

How unfortunate is that?

mac15 · Mar 9, 2005, 11:21 PM

Yes they were the only themes in history to be previewed and release

it would be interesting to do a count of all the previewed themes that never get finished... at this point i tend to avoid preview threads and only pop into threads that are announcements. seems like it would make more sense to wait to preview a day or two before release rather than weeks before a date that may never happen.

that said, a big thanks to all those fantastic themers who have released themes... greatly appreciated!

Dimethyltrypt · Mar 10, 2005, 10:35 AM

Originally posted by mac15:

No what i'm saying is: the siro guy will release his themes like 3 weeks after the initial preview.

the other just post it here, get extraordinary feedback and never release it. Or like they release it a year after or several months after when we lose interest.

but anyway.. I'd rather not see any previews, only finished work. otherwise I'll always be deceived.

sayonaraML · Mar 12, 2005, 04:25 PM

Just wanted to chime in on this as well...
I remembering going through every one of the pages that referenced Omega. Old BBX took a beating for the preview that never turned into anything and I guess has wandered off to parts unknown without ever releasing anything. That was too bad 'cause it looked to be cool theme but there are some other themes/themers on this board that seem to have mirrored the same behavior (preview followed by delay, followed by excuses, followed by delay) without getting ANY of the grief that Bill got. Why is that? Is it becuase he got a little bit more peed off with some of the flames? Higher expectations leading to greater anticipation and letdown?
I also wonder if part of it is that if you aren't in the business and you are say a college student then you get a pass ("I'd like to finish but you know shool work and all"). Why not a separate forum for previews? Keeps the pressure off of whoever is doing the work and lowers the expectations of people that want to use the themes. Has that been posited before? Anyone add any clarity to this?
Peace 'n' all.

themarvelous3 · Mar 15, 2005, 07:42 PM

am i the only one who cant get to the site or download this theme (if its even done yet) i cant see the preview either.

TheIceMan · Mar 16, 2005, 03:13 AM

themarvelous3: It's been down for the past month or so. I really like this theme and hope that it sees the light of day soon.

themarvelous3 · Mar 16, 2005, 11:45 AM

i thought so, but people kept posting here so i thought maybe it was just me. thanks!

mugget · Mar 17, 2005, 06:52 PM
