Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger on Intel

Introducing the new enhanced Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger wisual style for Windows XP. This is an upgrade from my MIMIC Tiger release. This theme is still in beta stage and the final will be released soon. Thanks to those who helped and continue to give input.

Remember that the icons and such are extra and NOT part of the theme. The icon pack is from Flyakite whilst the Dock is YZDock. The styleshell.dll thanks to Terpfen (now in the beta 2 version?

A WindowsBlinds version? - of course I will.... lets get this one out of the way first.

Nice and clean... I like it. THX!!!

#352726

nicely done indeed!

#352735

Looking good. I really can't wait for a Windowblinds version. Nice Work!

#352745

WOW this one looks SUPERB !!! Better than KoL's Tiger 2 VS....

I hope it is borderless.....Flyakite, you must include it in v3.1 :-)

#352747

thanks 6205 ... but its not a competition as to who's is better - im just trying to make it as close to Tiger as possible.

Yes it is borderless.

any comments on the Start Menu?

#352749

It looks nice. Clean, simple. Like a Mac.

#352751

I was hoping that we can debate the startmenu as well. I was thinking of replacing the work SPOTLIGHT with LOGGED IN and replacing MY APPLICATIONS with the Users Name

what do u think

I think you should replace it. It feels kind of weird with the spotlight in the start menu.

You are right, version with user name sounds better....

#352767

where do you get the right hand side shell style thing? edit: nvm.. i should of read the first post better

looks very good, i don't like the spotlight part in the start menu, as it obvisly doesn't work

#352771

you should include a brushed theme.. not for the start menu, just for the explorer windows, and all the rest

#352773

i'll wait for the WB version! hope you take advantage of WB5..

#352779

Yep... loose the Spoltlight thing in the Start menu.

You may also want to check your alignment on some of the glyphs.

I noticed the "?" in some of the titlebars is offset a bit.

Still... nice work.

#352782

Thanks all for the posts:

Yes i will be taking advantage of WB5.

Ill fixe the "?" glyph as well.

The spacing netween the min/max buttons are too far apart as well - will fix

The Start Menu:

Okay - i think having the user name there would be good BUT what do I change the word SPOTLIGHT to?

Any suggestions.

#352786

Next time please use tags and post in proper sub-forum.

Also, 10.4 for Intel has the exact same GUI as 10.4 has had since it was released.

To be honest - don't put anything in there but the user name.

Quite a lot of users (including me) don't use english WinXP. It's always kind of annoying having a VS with some (graphic) components of different language. In this case it doesn't even has a function.

Just make this part with a blue background and a white user name.

That's it.

Good point with the language issue - thanks for pointing that out - ill keep it in mind

#352817

can you create a unified tiger option as well please?, just the explorer windows

#352821

Unified Tiger ?

#352832

unified look, like this------->

#352835

Right now i have no plans of makin any other versions (Brushed, Unified etc). This release has to be almost perfect, so im concentration on just one version. After the final release i will work on a WindowsBlinds version. Then maybe if there is a demand - ill make other versions.

sorry.

#352837

unified look, like this------->

Isn't that called Platinum?

#352850

as other people, i prefer the start menu to look clean instead of littered with words or graphics that serve no purpose. =) good job by the way.

#352853

El Sweetzor!!!
