Is there supposed to be that line under the black menu selection item? It looks kinda weird.

I personally think it should be more TiBook and less Milk, but that's just me...

OMG, finally a new theme that isn't just a Tiger mod of an old one! Thanks!

It's pretty nice. Makes me think of that TK-421 theme that someone was working on a while back but never finished. This one obviously isn't themed to look like Stormtrooper armor the way that one was, but it's still nice.

However, I agree with the above sentiment that it needs more TiBook and less Milk. Right now it seems like only the window widgets, radio buttons, check boxes, and menu selections are black. The rest is all white. Maybe if scroll bars, tabs, or even buttons were black, it would provide more contrast and I think I'd enjoy it more. I also noticed the strange line below menu selections - what's up with that?

The line could indeed be omitted. I wonder if it's there by design.
The *pushed* Window Titlebar Toolbar Button also shows a bottom line.

Yes, that line is about to meet a quick demise...I'll also add in some more of the Ti Book elements for v2.

Buttons can't be black. The text showing up on the white background has to be the same as the text showing up on the buttons. I think that most things that have no text on them should be TiBook, while buttons, popup buttons, etc. should be Milk.

Damn, that's hot! Love the iTunes skin.

Now when you find the time, how about an iCal and Address Book makeover, too.

You've been crankin' out some fine stuff lately, James. And thanks for not putting those Tiger endcaps (esp. the right one) on this mod.

Thanks again!

The only complaint I have about the new vers is the scrollbars. They seem too big, and not rounded enough. The arrows seem too big as well. Maybe something more like the Ti-Book scrollbars would fit better.

Something along these lines is what I had in mind:


Just a suggestion ^_^

I like the suggested scrolls, the current ones (from the pic) are too big and in your face.

i'm not sure how far you are willing to take this theme, but i think it has already become a theme of its own more then just a mod. the suggested scroll bars look great. i would also suggest something like this for the progress bars too. and maybe a loss of all the orange color? but like i said i have no idea how far you want to go with the theme.

No, and it won't be. It can't be done with this style of Root Menu Item fill and caps.

Excellent James!

*edit* Uh, don't mind me... lack of sleep... How hard would it be to make the open/close/minimize buttons black, and have the markers show up with a mouse-over? Possibly another variant?

Not my style... but, you made your own buttons this time... That gives the theme more appreciation.

This desktop background was made for TiBook-Milk. (figuratively speaking)



Here are some more.

I'm referring to the B&W ones, obviously.

maybe we should change the name of the theme to something like MOO or cow, seeng that it has been changed a lot from the original premise into its own very cool white and black theme.

(thinking of cows made me think of cowprint, which might translate into a pretty cool theme)
