Not a big fan of Chosen, but the glass menus are pretty slick. I'd just prefer to see them coupled with a different theme.

The theme is based on Chosen OS by Swiz...I made the original mod and Makki has expanded it to this version. Rock on Makki....

I think feedback, both positive and negative, is needed to make the best themes possible. We just need to be careful and nice when giving negative feedback.

The Window Widgets are very disturbing and don't match the theme at all, sry.

The widgets don't match anything else in the theme... The main thing that I don't like is the Finder view buttons, you must have gotten those from windows cuz they are ugly. You also are missing the Safari auto fill button. Keep working on it. It's a nice mod.

it's a good start. I agree with NS. The view buttons should match the look of the other buttons. Also, the path button does not have to look like the windows version IMHO. I think it should also have the black look to it. There is such a thing as being too authentic.

All toolbar icons are from my Aeroesque theme I gave to Makki. He has permission to use them, altought they are currently incomplete. I made the path/action icon to match Longhorn style (<big back small foward>[flexible space]<path folder or action star>).

Well, I did say that the elements were conflicting, but if you really need me to be your mother and spell it out for you...

Make the theme more cohesive. There are way too many elements from way too many different themes and they do not match. No offense, but I really don't think those are the two best possible themes to combine.

Now, maybe you want me to give you specifics on what to change. I don't think you should change anything, because it will still look like a Frankentheme.

Love the mod. Was a fan of the chosen theme for a while. Had it on my XP for ages. Great job. Looks very clean and crisp. Menubar is badass as well!

I can honestly say that I'll be using this theme as my primary for a long long time ahead. Instead of my weekly theme switching ritual.

Loved Chosen even before I got OSX - your MOD is very nice . . . I might agree with some of the view that the elements don't exactly mesh BUT I still like it and it has been live for a couple of days (which is rare in my ADHD world...

The views - well it was hinted that they are missing something
The path - same as above

on the other hand I love the use of the Royal Inspirate Navs and the "Action" star so perhaps lean in that direction - when you get the chance of course. Safari is very nice indeed.
