For all the OSX brushed metal fans...

(I know there aren't that many here at Neowin, but this is for the few who do!)

3 styles, Glass, Black Glass and iTunes, each with both Tahoma 8 and Lucida Grande 9 versions.

Matching wallpapers (including one in screenshot).

Also included (permissions in zip):

OSX4XP Cursor set by Binary

Yz Toolbars by Voodoo and sciphan

BIG thanks to Stevie BM, inspired the iTunes version and let me use some resources from his (amazing) up-coming project...

This also means thanks to Binary (again), and also Max, whos caption buttons are used in the iTunes variant. His e-mail bounced (multiple times) so if he had any doubts about the use of the buttons he may ask them to be removed and I will do so immediately.

Thanks guys smile.gif

Make sure you enable ClearType for that extra bit of accuracy!

One small thing tho, maybe you could make the start panel username black in color? Without cleartype, the text doesn't look that good.
altezza
You rock again b0se! Well done! thumbs_up.gif thumbs_up.gif
CyberKewl
Bold the start panel username font, remove shadows in the statusbar and toolbar and it should look better.

There are some great themers/artists here on Neowin, some of which I can say I'm glad to have worked with, and you are by all means one of them (great themer that is). Indeed, you can crank them out as fast as some can think of them. Great work on this and all your current works.

I'm not usually a big fan of Mac styles but I was really impressed with this. I love the glyphs on the captionbars in 'Glass' mode! smile.gif smile.gif
b0se
Thanks for the comments!

@Cyber: Taken on board, will probably do that in the update, bar the bold user name tongue.gif

@hornett: Glad you like them, was quite pleased the way they turned out in the end, took many iterations before they got like that smile.gif

Looks good mate!! yes.gif

Quality stuff, as always.
Not very original though... has been done a couple of times, mainly by KoL (Brushed Panther, iTunes).

You need Yz toolbar to get the effect in the screenshot. You can get it here. The toolbar theme is included with the msstyle already.

i'm not a huge fan of the brushed metal, but the wall named aquanewgrey.jpg sure goes well with Opus Natural! biggrin.gif

I'll try it out. Thanks smile.gif

Sweet VS! biggrin.gif
Are the icons in the screenshot SnowE2? Where can I get a shell32 of that? Could someone upload it if it's not anywhere else? That would be really great!

Get it at the download section at Hardware Geeks...

There's a bug with the vertical taskbar and using the large folder view. It's not even being skinned. Take a look at the pic:
Arucio
hmm the cursor included in the theme becomes ugly if you drag something with it

nice thanx smile.gif
b0se
Thanks for the comments smile.gif

Regarding the vertical taskbar, sorry, but its not designed for that since its an OSX clone...

Thanks for the toolbar bug report, will fix that!
evilecho

1. what software are u using for this tool bar

evilecho

Iain
Top pic is Yz Toolbar
evilecho

blue0ne
It's Y'Z Dock smile.gif

I am looking here http://www.designtechnika.com to find Y'Z Dock and I just can't seem to get it. I see all the Y'Z software stuff and the toolbar thing but I cannot find the dock.

I know a lot of people do not make these but I was wondering if I could request a Windows Media Player toolbar skin to match this theme. Maybe a WMP skin also. Thanks.
