dobee Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 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 itany suggestions? Link to comment
theaulddubliner Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 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 Link to comment
KAWSquared Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 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 Link to comment
Qweedle Guy Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 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. Link to comment
theaulddubliner Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 i agree that the titlebar font is a bit too bigsome 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 ithowever, if i apply a different skin firefox picks up the skin immediately and allows me to reapply osx leopardi don't have any exceptions for firefox in windowblindsi can't speak for any other apps as i haven't used that many since trying your skin Link to comment

Macmaster Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 why use a skin when you can use flyakiteosx and it changes the whole thing Link to comment
InTrIgue Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 why use a skin when you can use flyakiteosx and it changes the whole thingYes it will if your just using msstyle themes but this is for Windowblinds so you can have it look like the real thing! Link to comment
Austin123 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 The only thing i don't like is the shutdown/log off weirdness in the start menu Link to comment
Ariw2003net Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Awesome! I may put this on my old PC while my mac's at the apple store Link to comment
dobee Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 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 Link to comment
Bottles Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Yeah, I hope there will be some screenshots of apples new theme in the net tomorrow! Link to comment

tulwinn Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 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 Link to comment
Levi- The perfectionist Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 ... 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 Link to comment
JPakaSwizz Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Stil lwaiting for the graphite one, everything looks great so far though! Link to comment
Armondo Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 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). Link to comment
