The New ResExcellence ~ The place for all things mac GUI.

Welcome!
Posted 5:18 pm, November 1st by Phillip Ryu 31

Resexcellence used to be a daily stop on the web for me. In fact, to a degree, it’s what’s gotten me into what I do now in the first place. Without its daily, quirky news updates, and its vast archive of GUI customizations, I definitely would not have been as interested in GUI customization as I became. (Interested enough to start MacThemes.net.)

Unfortunately, over the past few years, those visits became less and less frequent, and eventually came to a stop. It was only a few months ago, when I checked out Resexcellence again for the first time in months, that I realized how close to dying it was. The site was in damage control mode, thanks in part to lack of activity, a sore need for an overhaul, and gross mismanagement by its most recent owner. This got me boiling to the point of writing a scathing entry on my blog about what’s been going on.

The blog entry got a lot of feedback, especially from former Resex fans like myself. But I quickly realized a blog post on its own wasn’t going to fix things up by itself, and over the next few weeks, I worked with my friends at Unsanity to purchase the website. We are committed to giving this site the huge refresh and injection of talent that it deserves, and over the next few months, we’ll be keeping you posted on this blog as the new Resexcellence.com comes together. You can be assured that this site is in the right hands.

Stay tuned for a post from Brian Wilson of Unsanity detailing what’s planned for the new GUI customization archive backend, plus updates on the site redesign. And let us know what you’d like to see!

And of course, we highly encourage you guys to spread the word and let fellow Resex fans know this is happening!

That part could have been written by me!

Very good news indeed!!

This is good news! I used to check out ResEx everyday, then like most people, I stopped going once the site started falling apart. I cannot wait to see the newly revamped site!

Good luck to all the people rebuilding, although I doubt you guys will need it!

I loved that place as well. Glad to see it not going anywhere.

I just hope it doesn't turn into a Unsanity shill page.
