Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

Hey Adam,

The theme is a combination of Milk (the x + - buttons) and SmoothStripes. I squared the rightside of the titlebar and kept the left rounded to accentuate the window buttons.
I really love the themes that Max has worked on, only a few of the gui elements I replaced to satisfy my needs.

The folder icons are modified from iPlatinum. I posted a download in the Gui Forum found here http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...0&pagenumber=3 at the bottom. The icons in the toolbar are from a variety of sources, a few I modified to suit my tastes.

hey what is the recieve/transmit bandwith-o-meter on the menu bar?

percival · Jan 17, 2003, 05:53 PM

Hello,

It's a very nice little program called MenuMeters, and can be found at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/index.shtml Besides the Network, it also lists CPU usage, Memory, and a few other things.

Cheers

Honz, it's great to see you on the Mac side now. You did some awesome gui customization for pc. Hopefully you'll go nuts customizing the Mac gui now

I like you desktop pic. Simple and subtle yet with conent beyond the borders of your screen.

Ok, so I know I've posted here a couple of times now, but I think I'm finally happy with my desktop now...

Hacked lots more of my applications now so less dock icons...

New version of TuneCam is easier to hack as the window comes open, and the settings are saved. I've also taken the Proteus, and LaunchBar icons out the dock too.

2. The image on the bottom of your desktop picture seems familar...what is it??

What's "The Parlor"?

Mystery Science Theater.. hence the DVD on the desktop.

A great independant short film. Link to the windows media file here.

Here's a thread in the Lounge where it's being discussed. Don't read that thread before watching the movie.

I did not see a Finder icon in your screenshot. Did you delete the Finder or just replace it with another icon? If you deleted it, how? Or if you switched out the Finder icon, how? Thanks.

Whoa. 85 megs. Glad I have Cable.. and it's downloading faster than anything I've downloaded yet.

Edit: Wow.. I just watched it. it took me about 3:30 to figure out what it was about. That's great. How long has this been around? And where can I get the .Mov version? Cause WMP sucks.

Thanks superfula! Yeah, hopefully I'll get my head round how to do a theme for Mac eventually.

My desktop's changed now but...

The green dot = Proteus - Small Aqua theme
The exclamation in the bubble = Apple Remote Desktop - Request Attention
The open lock = key chain - open keychain and select show menu item
The @ sign = iAddressX which puts your address book in the menu bar for quick access.

I hope that helps.

Adam

Okay, this is my first screenshot submission. I found the wallpaper the other day over at deviantART - here! Other than that it's just the ordinary stuff. The green blob in the menubar has already been covered in this thread - it's Proteus. The dock houses the usual stuff with some custom icons from Xicons and also to be seen is SNOW.E 2 | AQUA EDITION icons from RAD.E8.

Enjoy!

hmmm...it's data from another theme, changed in "brushed'.

check out the bbx mercury theme (for instance), that has groovy black translucent menus.
