Was wondering if you guys could place theme variations into separate files rather than load everything into one file. It would be easier for us dial-upers to just download the variation we like rather than the whole LARGE ball of wax :-)

Thanks!

headbirth - what a suggestive member name you've come up with.
Yes I agree some 'BOOzo' themes did used to weigh in at around 8MB or more
- Maybe some of the many theme variants could been slimed
down into a couple of downloads rather than just one - would
seem like a good idea - but I thought he had already done that ?
Will have to see what Mr.BOOzo and the others have to say on the subject.

Still a very evocative name.

I can't really say anything, but many variations will not be a problem sometime in the future.. For now you will have to deal with the variations being in the same package.

Not an issue for me, I think it's best to have them all in one.

What theme format is that? I've never heard of that. Is there gonna be a theme format where people can actually change the placement and size of resources ever? I can't wait for that day... maybe even someday, we'll be able to change the system font size... the fonts are way too big in OS X... menus embarass me.

I tried silk, it trys to change the font, but most of them look sucky and off centered and horrible.

I wish Apple gave us a little play with our customization needs...

Mac OS X would be alot better if people were able to make it "their own style".

I can't get over the fact that in Panther (Dev Previews) there is no option to change the Application Switcher icon sizes and you can't get rid of that ridiculous bubble around the file names. Ugh... Why couldn't Apple have just left it the way it was?

PS: Expos� is pretty neat.

PS2: New icon zoom open thingie is neat. YAY! NO MORE ZOOMING RECTANGLES (I never used them anyways... hehe...

Spaztik - what a suggestive and provocative member
name you've come up with - very evocative and fits
your writing style well.

I know who it is, and it's definitely not us.
