(drag them from '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\fonts' into your '\Windows\Fonts' directory)

#46675

great work b0se.

#46680

nice (Y)

me likey smooth style.

#46683

b0se,

Beautiful work...however, I have just installed it and it causes my beloved Firebird 0.6.1 (1.5a) Milestone to shake and shimmer...I know that some of the recent 'Nightlies' (1.5b) are causing even the newly converted Firebird themes skinVersion="1.5" to shake...

But am curious, if anyone else with Firebird 0.6.1 Milestone, is having the same issues that I am...

************EDIT***********

OK...just figured it out, what happened in my case was with the increase in overall font size in this VS (which I like) it caused my Book Marks Toolbar (7) to eliminate the last one with >>... and this has been a 'known bug' with FB...

Solution: Delete the last Book Mark Toolbar icon so that >> is not showing up...

Result: Beautiful VS, with Firebird 0.6.1 is fine!

#46684

Thanks guys.

gahbmwM5 (the new M5's are insanely good - even got a HUD!), I'm using 0.6.1 with no problems...

On the topic, I've just fixed the Pheonix scrollbar bug, and I'm now working on borderless versions (1 pixel anyway), will keep you updated

#46691

Yes, they are high performing vehicles...I am looking at the new 6 Series, that is coming out in the Fall 2003, however BMW North America, Inc. will not be coming out with M6 until 2005 or 2006...The coupe design on the 6 Series is fantastic!

Thanks for the up-coming updates to your very clean VS...

#46701

this theme rocks.. its really really professionally done, but, ive grown accustom to wb4, however, as good as this theme is, i wont stop me using wb4 unless... someone ports it to wb4!!!!!! (Y)

#46702

it looks great!! (Y)

#46707

Thanks

Puma 2.0 released, see first post.

Heres a taste of whats added, 'No Border' versions:

#46717

Very sweet... I noticed that it came with some pre-configured MobyDock backgrounds and seperators.

I have converted them to work with ObjectDock if anyone is interested.

This was done for my own personal preference, and if b0se gives permission, I will be more than happy to post the file.
