The theme and icons are just too flat for my personal taste, but it's a VERY nicely done theme. In particular, this theme/icon combo can give you a very "finished" appearance.

Great job!

Nice work!

And congratulations on being the first person to find an alternative font that actually looks good in the menus/title bar. What is that font called/where can I get it?

The font is Myriad Apple Text
Go to page 139 of the Screenshot thread, halfway page you'll find a download link in a MacMan4000 message - in fact he was the first one I saw using it.

Close System Preferences
Open the Terminal
Paste the following, then hit Return:

defaults remove com.unsanity.Silk "Font Cache"

Silk will now rebuild the font list when you open it again.

I don't know if I'm being an idiot here or something, but I can't find Myriad Apple Text OR a MacMan4000 post anywhere on page 139. Can someone clarify?

Ahh, thanks man...I was so confused...but it turns out my 'per page' post count is set to 20, and yours is 50, so our page numbers are different.
