Really cool, but ShapeShifter is still not ready for black themes. Mail.app is completely unuseable. Which sucks, because the black Finder is awesome.

So are you working on GUiPod now?

Rock on.

btw swiz do you want the desktops I made for it? If anyone wants it, it's the 3rd one down on my Desktops page I've also got a version without the girl that I could post on demand.

I also get that text color bug on the columns view preview/file info.

It seems that this version of JB has more text issue than the old version...

Almost perfect ... no iTunes skin is the only major complaint, but over all pretty nice.

I just noticed this but mail is pretty much unusable, don't know if that was the same in the last version as well.

As soon as I saw you posted I was like "awe junk, I forgot the async animation".
Which I did, I promise to have one whipped up by the Xmas .

Regarding the mail.app issue; it really bothers me, the only solution I have for it is that I swithc to using Gyaz Mail when I use dark themes. It is everybit as good as mail.app but even more customizable... just a suggestion for those who REALLY want to use a dark theme.

Thanks for all the positive comments, I really though this announcement was gonna be at the bottom of the page after I posted it.

What about having a lighter color for the list backgrounds with a darker text color? That way if and when certain apps flake out they'd still be usable. Also I do think the hard black contrasts a bit too much with the light parts of the theme such as the scroll bars.

Another problem is the labels. Just try and read anything labeled in Finder, you'll see what I'm talking about.
