Hay I'm guessing you've been busy swiz, (Hope you see this) but I've been using Studio Pro again since it's one of my favorite themes, and I think it should be updated with app skins and maybe small tweaks like a metal window bevel to match the Aqua titlebars, and some text color fixes. And if you're up to it, it would be awsome to add new color vareations to match the Apple Pro software site: http://www.apple.com/software/pro/ . It hasn't been updated since ShapeShifter 1.0, and with all the new features available now it could use a nice little update.
I've been messing with adding my own iTunes skin and a put the safari icon set in, but it really needs an official update. Please put SS Pro next on your themeing list. Thanks!

And What about his first theme updated for panther and one that iis really in need of an update (at least to fix the "walking ants bug"), that is, Power Metal?

I really hope this one is updated first. At least SS Studio Pro has already been cleaned from the sames bugs that predate the former.

Anyway, it's up to Swiz, and he seems to be very busy right now.



Regards.

Tara.

I tried converting the ".theme" file but it was a disaster... PowerMetal and PowerMetal Ice

",themes" always seem to convert with completely unexpected results. Probably since the resources all changed.

Actually, that's the original Power Metal. Swiz redesigned it for his "SwizStyle" version, which didn't include any chewy candy bits .

maybe he can include that in the next update? but i'm sure it's not possible since he's busy.

i just love the titlebar and the menubar.

That is the original PowerMetal conceptualized by Cerbero. That particular version with the candy colored scrollbars is called PowerMetal Plastic scrolls. I have a fixed version of PowerMetal Swizstyle but havent had a chance to add all of the elements to it yet. I promise to tend to all my themes, tightening them up, adding app skins and stuff; Im just not sure when. Im working on average 70 hours a week right now so pretty much all I do with my computer right now is check email and surf lightly. Still waiting for the new G5's so I can get down to work with a few DVD projects since right now all I have is my Powerbook. Anyhow, Just wanted to let ya know, my intentions are inline, just waiting for the time..still.

Thanks, man!

Take it easy, we are in no hurry, and real world's work is far more important
