Dunno when it'll be ready... Billy (the guy who creates the BBX themes) is an absolute perfectionist, and doesn't like to set premature release dates. Heck, back in November he said that Mirai was "almost done", and in the meantime he's scrapped it and totally redone it. He also has a new addition to the family, so... I'd say within the next month or two would be a relatively safe bet. I'm assuming he'll release it before Panther.

And of course it'll be downloadable! I've never heard of a theme that wasn't available for the public. These themers are awesome people.

Cool sounds good ,i will be keeping an eye out for it I didn't know that all this stuff was downloadable ,Im pretty new to this customising business.
But from what i've seen i really like, and am quite keen on getting into it

Nope. It's a bit too... I dunno, cartoonish for me. I'm very, very picky with my themes. And for the most part, I only use themes from Max, Swiz, and Izawaa.

Also, trust me on this: Dark themes don't work well on OS X, because Aqua doesn't allow for text color change (other than in the menubar and menu items), so text becomes unreadable in dark themes. Izawaa has an absolutely killer theme called Shinobi (as can be seen here), but it's a dark theme, so its daily useability isn't very good.

I see what you mean about Shinobi,looks great,
Pitty about that ,and i don't think i could handle that everyday..

The DSX theme looks quite nice also( I like the small touches of yellow) but i imagine that would have the same problems as Shinobi.?

The MakkiX theme i don't particularly like that one ,a bit of overkill on the yellow, it does look good don't get me wrong ,but for me i would find myself having to squint at the screen ,as it's a bit hard on the eyes..

Time to shop around and see if i can find something to suit ..

Later and cheers for all the info ,you should be a recruitment officer dude

Yeah you should be able to transfer you pic's mp3's no problem..i've transfered mp3's etc from win to mac no problem..

I don't see Photoshop being a problem,as my copy of photoshop is compatable with both OS's.i think this is standard ,but im not 100% on that one.

Thanx dude!

I don't think you could transfer Photoshop. The files you made with it, yes. But I still think you'd have to install Photoshop from your disk...

Yuppers.

Heh heh. I wouldn't mind working at the Apple Store before getting into a real career... and I'd fancy a career working for Apple. (Though that's highly unlikely, of course)

Omega Star - Your MP3 and picture files would transfer fine, but as rjensen said, you'd defintely need to install Photoshop and what not from your disk, not straight from your PC's harddrive.

hello again decided to get some themes downloaded im currently using SS Studio Pro Swiz Style, Must say it's realy nice.
I've downloaded a few more, SS Tuxedo for one mmm dunno about that one ,just though i would give it a look, MaggraX 2.3 i quite like this one.. also.

I might get the clear dock done aswell..

Btw have you noticed any glitches with itunes 4.?
Im not sure if it's something wrong here ,but when i change to the graphic viewer the current played track distorts slightly while switching to the viewer ,and when i switch back..I was just wondering if this is a little bug

I don't mind really as i never really use the graphic viewer,the novelty wore off after 2 weeks of installing itunes 3..

Anyways cheers again..👍

 

[Sage]

, how coincidental! I was just about to tell you to go try out SS Studio Pro! I'm using it right now, and it's absolutely fabulous. 👍

I've tried Tuxedo, and again, it falls victim to the whole dark theme thing... and personally, I don't like some design elements in it. (Pinstripes? Nooooo!)

I'll post a new screenie in a minute... I've got a nice desktop pic that compliments Studio Pro.

As for the iTunes thing, I never use the graphics thing anyway, so yeah...

Nice avatar Sage!! !!

 

[Timmotheus]

I agree; it is amazing how Sage tries so hard to include a "ProMac" statement in his avatars. I respect him for it. I don't have that much initiative.

 

[Cobraking]

I LOVE IT.. i honestly love the iMac, thats my next computer company 4 SURE!

Oh yeah! The iMac is the best computer company!

 

[pedrodaman]

having a wee go of shinobi I think i will use this one sparringly ..But it's really nice ..

It's a real pitty that you can't read some text,otherwise it would be one that i would use often..

I think i will switch back to Studio Pro

 

[Sage]

Yup, definitely a pitty that Shinobi can't conform to Aqua very well, because damn, that would be such an awesome theme!

Also, if you want, I've got a link where you can download some nicer looking "About" and boot panels for Studio Pro...

 

[pedrodaman]

Yeah go for it dude post it up. i've also downloaded Ape manager ,so im going to have a wee muck around with that ..

 

[Sage]

Download

 

[Cobraking]

Hey iMac users,

I was roaming around www.msn.com, and i clicked on MSN MESSENGER, and I looked on the Left List and I clicked MSN MESSENGER FOR MAC, and boy that was really nice.

 

[Timmotheus]

Why would a Mac user want to use the ugly M$ messenger, when they could use something else. Like iChat.

 

[pedrodaman]

Cheers for that download Sage im using them now ..

I had to get rid of MSN messenger , as it was causing me more problems than it was worth
So now i just use Yahoo & ICQ messengers ,will be getting ichat up and running soon

 

[Sage]

Oh, and, I can get you a download to also change the login panel in just a sec...

[edit]: Here it is.
