Thanks dobee

Thanks guys...

I'm not so sure about the brushed metal strip with the log out buttons on the start menu...

It might work with the brushed style but i'm thinking of changing it

any suggestions?

#433219

i would definitely agree with changing it

it took me by surprise when i first clicked on the apple - it's too chunky and doesn't really take its cues from the rest of the skin [which is fabulous]

one thing i have noticed is that some popups [warnings and the like] are horizontally oversized - compared to other skins anyway

only noticed it on a couple tho

of course i won't be able to properly judge it till i get my hands on the graphite version

yo i'm not sure if you know this but you have the wrong scrollbar. if you pay close attention, you'll notice that the scrollbars are...somewhat striped i guess. other than that it's a pretty awesome skin good job dood

One of my only gripes with it, there aren't those 1 pixel wide semi-transparent borders around windows like there were on your Tiger V Beta.

Another is the font size of the window title bars. I think it's a bit too big, many window titles get cut off on the bottom because it's so big.

Also, windows like the control panel windows look very plain. Like there's no b/g for them and it's just plain.

Other than that it looks pretty sweet! The start menu looks very nice, and the brushed does seem pretty out of place.

@AppleThink The scrollbars look fine to me. If you're talking about the pattern of the blue, it's supposed to be like that.

i agree that the titlebar font is a bit too big

some strange behaviour i have noticed tonite is firefox loading without the skin [ie just the default windows style]

restarting firefox doesn't correct it and reapplying the skin sporadically corrects it

however, if i apply a different skin firefox picks up the skin immediately and allows me to reapply osx leopard

i don't have any exceptions for firefox in windowblinds

i can't speak for any other apps as i haven't used that many since trying your skin

Yeah, I'm changing it... thought it was a cool idea at the time, but I noticed it was kinda weird when I submitted it

K will do...

Also, windows like the control panel windows look very plain. Like there's no b/g for them and it's just plain.

I'll look into that...

why use a skin when you can use flyakiteosx and it changes the whole thing

Yes it will if your just using msstyle themes but this is for Windowblinds so you can have it look like the real thing!

#433408

The only thing i don't like is the shutdown/log off weirdness in the start menu

#433409

Awesome! I may put this on my old PC while my mac's at the apple store

#433418

Looks like I might have to start a whole new theme...

The only thing i don't like is the shutdown/log off weirdness in the start menu

Yeah, it was a bad idea (read earlier post)... LOL @ avatar

#433481

Yeah, I hope there will be some screenshots of apples new theme in the net tomorrow!

#433528

I may get it soon... But by the time I download it on my slow internet connection people will already have taken plenty of screenshots

P.S. If you wanna see a few vids I made of the current leopard you can see them at http://leopard.aqua-gero.com/

#433541

zomg I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE !!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RIGHT SIDE GLYPHS

I really like the skin, there is only one problem I have, I use WinRoll to roll the window up and leave just the bar left. For some reason this doesnt seem to work and i get the regular right click menu when I right click the title bar, is there any way I can change that?

Thanks

... nice work.... but to me this is far from being like leopard- stripes are very much being phased out of OSX.

None the less this is a nice theme a little different from the rest out there... I believe the borderless windows are a first... which is great.

Any chance of a unified (non pinstriped) version?... just a suggestion

#440352

Stil lwaiting for the graphite one, everything looks great so far though!

#463427

wow, this skin is absolutely kick ass! actually...this is the best mac skin for WB i have had so far. one problem, the tabs can cause problems sometimes. another thing, is when a window is emphasized on the task bar it becomes a ugly solid color. (see screenshots). the tabs screw up in most tabbed apps, and the scroll bars do not work in my window blinds. i am currently running the evaluation (trial) version...if i buy window blinds, will it fix these problems? i don't know if the scrollbar not showing up in regular windows is a bug or not...but it doesn't show up in any other windowblinds themes. anyway, keep up the awesome work! i hope someone can help me fix my problem.

EDIT: ok, i bought windowblinds 5. everything seems to be in order now...the only problem is that sometimes in firefox the scrollbar breaks (see 4th screenshot).
