What is the status of X-Metal and eXec themes? The web site has said coming soon for a long time now...

Anybody in the know on this?

Randman · Jun 4, 2004, 11:02 AM

I dunno. Even a little more taste of eXec would be nice, though I'm waiting for it too.

Komisar · Jun 4, 2004, 11:07 AM

I think its comming out quite soon maybe in a month or two.... but thats just my simple reasoning

No, but posting about postings that point out post whoring is clearly post whoring.

Komisar · Jun 4, 2004, 12:59 PM

Hi guys my name is underwood i sit at home looking at star trek porn and when i see people posting i assume its post whore and it really brings tears to my eyes so stop.... i got something to say to u STFU!

FB Eye · Jun 4, 2004, 01:10 PM

Yeah, I'm looking forward to these 2 themes too...

underwood · Jun 4, 2004, 02:11 PM

real funny, komisar.

Keifer · Jun 4, 2004, 04:36 PM

*sigh*

If you two insist on killing each other, do it via icq, or pm, or something. Just don't take it up in a perfectly usefull thread...

unlinear · Jun 4, 2004, 06:51 PM

kids,

please grow up. this is like a bad rerun of ambush vs gomac and even that had more of a point to it. s.t.f.u. s.v.p.

Makki · Jun 8, 2004, 12:36 PM

I am looking forward to these tthemes release. COTL Studios makes some really fine themes and they keep getting better. IStyle is one of my favorite themes to date.

Looking forward to good stuff
Makki

I wonder if ImDaMac is still alive

He hasn't dropped by in a while, should we be worried?

demograph68 · Jun 18, 2004, 05:48 AM

Exec in progress

Here's a preview!

that's a lot of shiny metal. a LOT of shiny metal. The iTunes display is awesome, though.

Randman · 11:59 AM

Any eta on Exec?

I don't want to sound too harsh, but I really hope that what the image shows isn't really the new eXec -- I hope for something more in the line of that X-Metal preview we had long time ago, but darker.

:: agrees ::

it doesn't look usable. gah, my eyes.

FB Eye · Jun 18, 2004, 08:39 AM

Hrrm...

I don't really believe that screenie

C�O�T�L never showed a preview of any of his theme before...

I believe the screen shot, However i think it's a case of 'same name' identity or 'same name rip-off'

This is NOT C�O�T�L's theme.. Just look at this one vs. any of his themes out, the quality of workmanship doesn't compare.. Unless I'm Da Mac has regressed into a 6 year old...

MacDog · Jun 18, 2004, 11:49 AM

Man I hope that's not really it. If it is, it'll surely take its rightful seat at the "Throan of ugly themes."

demograph68 · Jun 18, 2004, 11:59 AM

From the Resexcellence site I got it from- "A homegrown desktop picture and the Executive Theme, currently in the development phase, debut in this submission from Yom. Both iTunes and Safari display partially implemented skins."

Hardly done folks...

Patcarla · Jun 18, 2004, 12:08 PM

I'm really suprised by this preview.. Knowing Rey (Imdamac), it would
be unusual from him to let unfinished themes snapshots go public..

haley · Jun 18, 2004, 12:10 PM

Yeha, and I thought eXec was supposed to be a professional-looking theme...

That screenshot looks like 100% BS. And if it's not, then eXec will not be downloaded by a certain somebody.

afphreak01 · Jun 18, 2004, 12:18 PM

From COTLs website:

i dont see any black powder-coated metal anywhere on that screenshot...

justinp · Jun 18, 2004, 02:00 PM

That's because it's not a screenshot of the theme. It's a placeholder and it's not meant to show anything.

i ment the screenshot that demograph68 posted... i know that img i posted was a place holder, i posted it cause of what COTL described what eXec is going to look like as opposed to what demograph68 posted

justinp · Jun 18, 2004, 02:19 PM

Ah

Either way, the screenshot of that horrible metal theme is obviously not Exec (thankfully).

LOL.

Look at iTunes...

"Lynard Skynard"

quandarry · 07:05 PM

i can guarantee that screenshot is not the exec theme that imdamac has on the go...however some elements seem to be very similar to KromeX...too similar.

demograph68 · Jun 18, 2004, 05:53 PM

Sorry about that everyone.

Lord Sith · Jun 20, 2004, 06:33 PM

Release date is Saturday, June 26th....... With the return of Hein Mevissen (mixthepix.com)

Yummy!!!

Check It Out

Tarambana · Jun 20, 2004, 06:46 PM

Fen�meno!

These are great news! I am sure both the theme and the icons will rock

Hmm. I can even see something there, in the background of the teaser� Finder window

cube3 · Jun 20, 2004, 07:22 PM

wow, it looks really good

and great news to hear Hein is making icons again.

I wonder if we'll see that elusive "Panther.icontainer" as an extra? I seriously doubt Hein is going to reopen his website........ One can only hope.

Yup! BTW, looks like many of the iStyle widgets are being recycled into this theme (not that that's a bad thing, of course!).

I'm really waiting for eXec though � Just from that black metal piece on the Themes section of his site, it looks like it's gonna be an awfully kick-ass dark theme.

Dave-o� · Jun 21, 2004, 09:25 AM

Heard from I'mDaMac and the theme issues:

"I haven�t really had the chance to visit the forums as much as I�d like to recently but I can confirm that the screenshot from the link you sent is neither X-Metal or Exec. Not my work."

servo · Jun 21, 2004, 10:50 AM

Plans for Saturday:
-Arrive in San Francisco for WWDC
-Check in to hotel
