[WIP] Mac OS X Tiger by Xero

Updated with the a preview of the regular Start Menu. Also added the screenshots from the betas. The theme has gone RC1 now. I just need to add all the substyles. The main theme is finished, unless bugs arise.

this is very nice man. can't wait for this.

i hope you will release your objectbar and logon theme sooner. hehehe :D

Xero大哥,I Don't Know Waiting……………… 多久, 对了 如果China人 看到 我的这条, 麻烦帮翻译一下 :)

#250721

Can anyone translate that? lol

All I can make out of it is "Xero, I don't know waiting......china."

I might changed the start menu from a compact to a default size showing text. For some reason I'm not happy with it.

The logon screen will be released very shortly after the WB theme. Maybe even alongside. The objectbar will be longer unfortantly.

#250755

Looks great! I'm sure it'll be woth the wait.

#250762

Updated with new Start Menu. This is the one that I will be going with unless I change my mind ;)

#250763

Xero, the new start menu is GREAT man. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww :o

#250780

#250783

What do you mean by Finder like? Brushed?

#250788

Steve, when will you release RC1 to the beta testers?

#250831

Once the Platinum substyle is finished.

A question for testers and those who have viewed the themes screenshots. Does anyone know a good font for Lucida Grande, I have had some doubts about the one I am using. LucidaMAC is out of the question, because it's very ugly, and I won't be using it ;). Anyone know some good fonts I can use for it. Maybe different Lucida Grande's or LucidaGrande.

I wish I could help you out, but I don't know of any other fonts out there that looks better on Windows. Everything else looks too big and chops off letters either at the beginning or the end of each button or each shell property list. If you do end up choosing a different Lucida Grande font or another font altogether, can it please be small so that it fits nicely into each button or the shell display? Just my thoughts on font appearance, which, in my opinion, makes up half the appearance.

the truetype version of Lucida Grande is great.. I use it on all my VS's, I edit out LucidaMAC, Aquabase, etc and replace it with that. LucidaGrande is the Type 1 version, there's different "hacked" versions of it going around, some of them not much better than LucidaMAC.

Lucida Grande TT... looks good at small point sizes, e.g. on tabs etc... much nicer than Arial or Aquabase.

i am new to forums in general, so forgive my problems with the image (if there are any).

Xero, i am a huge fan of yours - i have been using your panther wb theme ever since it came out.

it also looks like your new tiger theme is going to be awesome!

of course, i'm a bit of a perfectionist, so i just want to point out something small that i noticed. in your "Regular start menu preview" that you posted recently, i noticed that the apple logo is a bit too close to the left edge of the screen - i was wondering if you could move it over to its correct spot. the attached image might help.

i know its really picky of me, but i'm sure its an easy thing to fix.

thanks!!!!!

#251025

Very easy to fix, where did you get that picture btw? Thats pretty high res.

#251038

it's prolly from one of the quicktimse movies.. you can play them in fullscreen...

#251040

Updated first post with a shot of RC1, it will be released to the testers within a few days.

Edit**

I forgot to mention that theres a new taskbar and pressed state. I took a look at the videos on Apple's website and with some help from Magnus I made the new apple button.

#251103

This is looking awesome man! I cannot wait for this.

However I have one request: would it be possible to have graphite versions in the final release?

#251104

Sorry if I forgot to mention it, but yes there will be graphite versions of all substyles. I will be making them once I finish the 3 main substyles.

#251105

This is looking awesome man! I cannot wait for this.

I second that motion! :)

#251107

latest update looks great Xero!

is there going to be the Spotlight logo at the right end of the taskbar for the final release?

#251154

No there will not be the spotlight logo. Many have asked so I will clear it all up now for everyone. There won't be a spotlight icon in the theme mainly because it's useless, so there is no reason at all for it to be there other then to make it look like a mac. So no it won't be there. It will be there however on the objectbar theme because it will have a purpose.

Also here is the final list of substyles that this theme will include.

Aqua

Aqua Apple Menu

Graphite

Platinum Aqua
