Ive been holding off making OS X themes untill the propper tools came out. Now that theme park has been released, i feel that i can start to play around in the world of themes for OS X. Here is a snapshot of somthing that ive been working on today:



you might remember my old OS 9 themes:

iTech:


LCD:


Dimple:


Geometry


if anyone wants me to port any of them email me ( [email protected] ), and if i get enough requests i will concider it.

Incidentaly I intend to put my website back up (used to be power/MAC), but greatly improved.

You've got a nice, original look going here. I'd like to see screenshot showing a wider array of elements. And, by the way, you'd better get used to the Software forum, because any minute now that's where this thread will be sent (which is ok... I used never to read the software forum, but now that it is the official 'theme' spot I check it just as often as general).

This will probably get moved to Software...

I just thought I'd say I look forward to the days when we can all choose between as many themes for OS X as we have for OS 9.

Thanks to people like Mafoo, I'm enjoying Mac OS X that much more.
(btw, iTech looks nice)

Could you reduce the contrast on the line? That is the only one that annoyed me the most.

IMHO, I think Dimple is one of your most usable themes while others is just for the kick of it.

Also, it'd be cool if you could reduce the amount of bevel on the first theme. I don't understand why people have to make everything bevel. Too much bevel feel kinda cheap.

If you think I'm being too fussy, you can ignore me

But otherwise, keep them coming Dimple or some new/similar themes for OS X would be nice though.
