Just right click the toolbar, then select Lock Toolbar... and they dissapear I turn them off myself...
Thanks for the comments guys

b0se,
There's something wrong with your Lucida Grande fonts. There's no regular style, only bold/italic/bold italic. the regular style is displayed the same as bold
You're right...
Will habve to take link down and come with more simple way to replace font than safe mode :/

New link up

YOU MUST INSTALL THE SUPPLIED FONTS OR THE TABS WILL NOT SKIN CORRECTLY
If windows won't let you delete the old Lucida Grande, switch your style to Windows Classic, then bring up task manager and end any application that may have been using the Lucida font (including Firewalls etc). After deleting, simply DRAG the Lucida Grande from from the Puma\fonts directory into the Fonts window. Load any variant via the themes and you're away
To test to see if you have the right fonts installed, bring up the Display Properties box, and there should only be one line of tab headers,, no more.

About
Puma is a professional style that contains 4 colour variations, Puma, Professional, Snow and Gun Metal.
Each colour has its own:
- Shellstyle
- MobyDock
- Yz Dock
- Object Desktop Dock
- 5 Wallpapers to suit all themes (I only added the shadow)
- OSX4XP Cursor set
Install recommendations
- Extract zip contents to '\Windows\Resources\Themes', using folder names.
- Make sure you select the desired theme via Display Properties -> Themes.
This will automatically load the matching wallpaper and cursor set. Handy
- Use Classic view for explorer windows for more accurate OSX emulation
(Tools -> Folder Options -> [Check] Use Windows Classic folders)
- Use the BLACK cursor scheme
(Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers [Combo] Scheme: Windows Black)
- Large icons
- Install fonts
(drag them from '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\fonts' into your '\Windows\Fonts' directory)
- Use Mac-like font smoothing (much nicer on the eye)
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use the following....screen fonts
-> [Combo] ClearType)
- Use large icons
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use Large Icons)
- Extract the MobyDock skin folders into
(copy and paste folders under '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\MobyDock' into your '\Program Files\MobyDock\dockconfig\Skins' directory)
IMPORTANT: Known Issues
- When using 'No Border' styles, caption bars on dialog boxes (e.g. Display Settings panel) are
1 pixel too short either side. This does not happen on explorer windows (which is what you view
99% of the time - hence no real problem). Why this happens os beyond me (atm, anyway).
- When you select the desired theme via Display -> Themes, the Link Select cursor (the Hand)
will not load. This is apparent in all themes and has to be loaded manually via
Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers. Select Link Select (at bottom of list), change and point
to '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\OSX4XP\Link Select.cur'
- Sometimes when appying a theme, e.g. [Puma] Pro No Border (by far the best!), the shadow on
the wallpaper is far too large. Simply right click on the taskbar and select Lock / Unlock taskbar
and it will sort itself out.

I've made the buttons a lot less distorted. Unfortunately, distortion happens with every OSX theme due to the shape of the buttons.
Regarding borderless: There is absolutely nothing I can do about that I'm afraid. The good news is thats its only on dialogs, and not the main explorer (or any other normal apps) windows (which you look at 99% of the time).
If you want borderless, you'll have to live with it
I might port that style over seperately, but it won't be included in this theme.
Will be releasing Puma 3.0 Final in an hour or two
-
I got hit by this also, I removed the msblast.exe startup using msconfig.msc. Need to delete the other file though, and search the registry...
-
Shellstyles are included in Final version, which will be released in about 4 hours...
The author of Panther Pro is not giving anyone permission to port it to MSStyle unfortunately.
-
Excellent, thanks for that. Will include it in final release, with a shout out to you of course
-
I learnt by fiddling! Seriously, open a style, and fool about and see what you can come up with.
Remember, don't expect anything flash too quickly
-
Puma Final will be released tomorrow, I'm now going to lose net connection for tonight so it will have to wait...
How frustrating!
Will be a big update
-
Thanks! And thanks for the tips
Yes, using Lucida Grande 9 for tabs, buttons etc. Just gone through all variants and sorted that out...
Puma Final will be released very soon!
-
I've made them for MobyDock, all you have to do is copy and paste! Plus I dont even have Yz Dock, or Yz shadow...and I want them both
-
Here's a quick taster of the new Gold colour:
I'm tempted to make the captions / scrolls brighter in all the colours...
Agree / disagree?
-
Gold version on the way
-
I might make a similar one...
Can't copy it though!
If you have any requests: post in the Puma thread so its easier for me to keep track!
Ta! :naughty:
-
Its actually very different, and better
Thanks for your support guys!
-
Thanks for that...
Could you post a screeny by any chance?
-
Also, brewman is making shellstyles as we speak, thanks a lot mate!
