Aqua virgin
Welcome to the world of aqua!
I think your screenshot is breaking the forum rules, it's too big.
Lets just hope that unbeliever is in a good mood today, and spares your life. ![]()
I use these: Example
Objectbar, with my modded tiger theme
Objectdock, with KkMenu
YzShadow
Windowblinds, with lots of skins modded with Skinstudio
Iconpackager
Avedesk, for the menubar shadow, and some icons
Konfabulator, for the dashboard widgets
Lots of plugins for firefox to make it look like safari. (e.g. Titlebar tweaks, Hills mod skin, Sage, Tabbrowser ext.)
As for your screenshot:
You might want to change the font of the menubar to OBFont and the normal fonts to LucidaMac or AquaBase.
The dock in OS X does not come with the shadow.
Please use shadows under the menu and your windows, or else it looks so ugly.
You might also want to download the "OB_Mod" to make the menubar more like os x.
Just search for those things here in the forum, and you'll get it 1:1 in no time!
Good luck!
Font in objectbar looks a little wrong...
First of all ... Thanks for the opinions and advice from peeps
...
What font should the object bar use?

1:- Rules - Fair enough, but gimme a break, gotta start somewhere lol
edit:- Now have had a read of.
2:- Tags??? Sorry m8 I`m lost
Edit:-
2.1.3. Tag your threads such that users may understand what type of topic you have posted. More details regarding thread tagging are available here.
Still lost
3:- Thread titles that actually mean something ... Title is aqua virgin.. and as much as I dislike being so .. I am LOL
edit:-
2.1.4. Create a concise subject that adequately summarizes your topic. For example "Mac OSX 'Tiger' Visual Style" is much more informative than "Help me find this".
I still satnd by the first comment that this is a concise subject that adiquatly summarises.
---------------
With all due respect I`m a new user... did not deserve a warning. I am not an idiot and pointing me in the direction of the rules, would have been more than enough.
This is the answer your likely to get from someone who has a little sense, and could potentially become a decent member ... However my appologies for not reading the rules properly, and will do so ... I do believe however I made my point
edit:-
Also, I would not like to get pulled up for doing anything else wrong in my first aqua related post .. So
2.1.10. Be constructive. If you don't have anything good to say then don't say anything at all. Constructive criticism is welcome, derogatory comments are not.
I do believe this is contructive. As I find it quite insultive and think it`s a very bad idea to warn a member on there first post of subject, for making a simple mistake through lack of experience and nothing more
Unbeliever, It would be better for all the ****s out there to know where is the rules, since when I clicked it on your signiture about 2 weeks ago it didn't work.
When I joined Aqua-soft about ayear ago I tried to find the rules with no luck.
seriously where are the rules?
Rules personally I think are fairly easy to find ... annoucement section (in which ist specifies should be read) and it`s stuck at the top ..... My gripe isn`t with the rules to be found .... That was my fault for not reading them lol .. oops .. Just felt a little jumped on with very little explaination and a warning
In all fairness to Unbe, he has to deal with a lot of...stuff.
Though some are more serious than others, he tends to adopt a standard response. Giving a warning out for every infraction is easiest, as those who tend to break the rules anyway can get banned (disciplined
) quicker, and those who can follow the rules easily learn from their mistakes.
Don't worry...it probably won't happen again
.
An explanation of your mistakes:
2) Tags. If you look through forums posts, you'll see that the majority of them are tagged with [release], [request], [help], [question], etc. This helps users easily and quickly see what the thread is about. At first glance, I assumed this was a wallpaper release, which leads me to my next point.
3) "Aqua virgin" actually isn't too descriptive. Seeing as you didn't tag it, I expected this to be a wallpaper of...you guessed it, an Aqua woman. A more appropriate--but most of all, descriptive--title would be
[help] Suggestions for Improving my Desktop
As you can see, this incorporates tags and tells any prospective readers what your thread is about, without them even having to click and read your post.
What font should the object bar use?
Man... Why doesn't anyone read my posts??? There's all the help you need, soniceffect!
Read this quote if your too lazy:
As for your screenshot:

This thread is so boring. Soniceffect: Stop whining and listen to the advices! Get over it and move on with whatever you're really supposed to do!!! Jeezuz....
@ Nightcrawler - Excellent post m8, and thanks for the pointers
@ nv02migu - Managed to read well enough to get your name right ... but yeah granted, was skim reading, and I appologise .. cheers for the help ... On the other topic, what I`m supposed to be doing, is learning how to skin .. guess that must have been my indescriptive title again LOL
@ Unbeliever - Fair enough I understand you have a job to do m8
Hmm, is there anyway to add shadow to Objectbar using YzShadow? Aside from that, I think I'm all set.
@soniceffect--no problem
.
@Shayer--please search.

Using the terms "shadow Objectbar" will get you what you want
.
-NC
P.S: It says there's no way using YzShadow, but there are workarounds.
@soniceffect: First of all, nv02migu is not my name (im a human, not robot), but I understand your sarcasism. ![]()
No hard feelings brother, I was just irritated with us buddies whining about this little issue for a so long time in this thread. Never in our history, have we aquafiers whined about so little things in such long time.
Bear that in mind! ![]()
By the way: while you guys were posting these threads, I managed to create a new avatar. I'm using it right now. You like it? Aquafied Hogwarts. ![]()
aquafied hogwarts LMAO ... never heard such a daft thing in my life .. LOVE IT ![]()
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned the desktop icons in the screenshot being too small.
Well, it's not like that's a prereq to aquafying your desktop. Afterall, you can change desktop icon size in OS X ![]()
[sNP]@ Unbeliever - Fair enough I understand you have a job to do m8
It's not that i enjoy being an ass (well i do a little
) but AS has so many member i just can't keep track of everyone and have to deal with stuff quickly and without mercy ![]()
Follow the rules and you'l be fine ![]()
Mark 16-10-05 as a special day.
Today (in one thread) a **** made a mistake, and Unbe scolded him, the **** responded nicely and unbe responded nicely!
Wo0t!
in case you'd miss it, here is the manual for you to read and I hope it could help you a little bit http://www.osx-e.com/articles/emulation_manuals.html
yeah started on that one actually .. cheers ... a very good guide I gotta say ...
As for the icon sizes ... Not a prereq, but I gotta say I agree with the man ... sorted
