Aqua-Soft ForumsWhen the Pinstripe theme was released as a classic.jar replacement, I figured it was because the icons simply wouldn't come out right as an independent theme. Then the Pinstripe modifications began to show up here, and some are handled as a separate theme. Why is it that many of these themes (including Safari) have to replace classic.jar instead of being a separate theme?
Why Does Everyone's Theme Replace Classic.jar?
cause the people that put them together dont know how to change the code so it shows up as an original theme. Its kinda anoying isnt it?
I thought there was the PinStripe released as a separate theme? Perhaps the same thing can be done for Safari and other mods alike.

Yes, there was - as I referenced. It looks exactly like the original. These themes would be infinitely more universally acceptable if they could be used as separate themes instead of a core (classic.jar) replacements.
well easier said then done i'm assuming since we don't see many offerings of themes that match safaris look
using a crappy cover up program like windowblinds "for me" just isnt an option even though that is the best looking replacement going right now
its the same as shell32.dll replacements, if i have to use some skinning app to "fake" windows into looking like a mac, then i'll pass. shell32.dll hacks are awesome and make the core of windows look different, so its not just an addon but a true change
anyways, just my 2 pennys worth - i hope theres a quality theme like in the old days when lynchknot had it going on

windowblinds is no more "crappy cover up" than ms own horrid built in theming engine. It's just theming you don't have a point.
lol you are using some skinning app to fake windows into looking like a mac. It's called a limited ms theme engine with a crappy vs style. Only difference is your doing a poor job and making windows look like a mac.if i have to use some skinning app to "fake" windows into looking like a mac, then i'll pass.
Also shell32.dlls don't make the core of windows look any different. It's just changing icons. No ms visual style or application skin will make windows look truly like a mac system wide the way window blinds 4.2 with per application skinning does in combination with hacked dlls. If you don't like accurate osx emulation why are you here?
sorry
