I needed to make a poll.

Which do you use, if you are not using a theme?

My powermac is using graphite and my powerbook is using Aqua Blue. I can't vote without skewing the results as the poll is not multiple choice

Iffy. I use Aqua Blue (and voted it,) but in the theme Aqua Extreme. Since Aqua Extreme looks so much like Aqua (especially in Panther,) I didn't vote using a theme.

Graphite looks a little better on my 15" Al. Nice with the silver.

I voted Aqua too, even though it's in the form of the SmoothStripes theme. Graphite is just a bit too monochrome for my tastes.

I typically like Graphite colors...but in OS X, whatever I do, I always end up going back to Aqua. It's just better (for me).

Agreed. From time to time I try to go to Graphite, but after about a day it always seems to dark and depressing so I switch back and all is well .

Does everyone who used Graphite also have a Matrix screensaver?

I prefer Graphite over Blue because I hate the stop-light colored buttons on windows. If there were a way to have those all aqua blue, then I would stick with aqua blue. I have complained about this from OS X day 1.

I just dislike the scrollbars and the garish colors on the stoplights. Graphite is much smoother. And damn it compliments my 17" PowerBooks (ditto with the metal)
