(request) Ruler Aero

hey all,

i saw this theme around a couple months ago and recently with Digital James' desktop. so since windowblinds 5 now allows alpha blending and all, i was hoping someone could port over Ice Spectre's Ruler Aero. im not sure if he allows ports or not but his site is here:

glad to see so many ppl agree with me in wanting a port of this theme,

too bad about the finder buttons :slant:

although i would still love to see a port none the less. :P

Yes, I noticed that immedietly after you pointed it out, that is unfortunate.

An alternetive would be to have it be a grayish blueish color even if it is not transparents. Or alterativly, you make multiple backgrouns for backgrounds, and you can switch when necesarry.

looks nice

#336826

even in the mac version, there is un-transparent parts... or atleast it looks like it?

That's just because the Mac skinning engine has transparency issues.

#336838

I have also been asking a few skinners to port w/ no luck....:(

[EDIT] ooops my bad...

I suppose the transparent area where the buttons (back, forward) can be made transparent.

If you have seen any of BZeitler's windowblinds themes there are some substyles that have the "system preferences" buttons. My assumption here is that those can be made with translucencies and hence the complete aero effect will be displayed.

If this ports becomes a reality I expect it to become all aero fans pick for a long period.

At least those could be made nonfunctional in the top border.
