I think sometimes using the wrong font in a theme preview makes the theme look a lot worse than it actually is. If you're gonna show a theme preview, use the default font so the text fits nicely within the elements.

Look... dude. I'm sorry I didn't say "Nice Theme!" but, it's sometimes it's hard to tell how nice a theme is if the font being used in the screenshot doesn't play well with the graphic limitations.

The theme looks promising, the colors are cool. I'll download it tonight and try it out... then I'll get back to you with comments and constructive critiques.

No need constructive critiques, it's a port of a windows theme, it doesn't matters if you like it or not.

I just thought for the sake of other people in this forum that you could post a preview screenshot using the default Mac OS X system font so that people get a more "true" look at what the theme is going to look/behave like.

I tried it on my system last night and it didn't really float my boat. I think that maybe the push buttons and tabs could be a little taller... they seem to almost be hugging the text that sits within them...

Even Windows theme ports should be properly adjusted to fit Mac OS X's interface restrictions. Please also keep in mind that not everyone is using silk or using 3rd party fonts for their system font too.

That's the way I feel. Don't take this post negatively. Thank you.
