this is a beautiful theme... but one thing i dont understand is

why are there so many mac themes?

they look almost exactly the same...

This is an awesome interpretation of Panther. Very well done to everyone. :)

And my 5 cents as to why there are so many Mac based themes... simple... "Easy on the eyes"... I'm a graphic designer, and I spent a lot of time at my PC, don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful themes out there, but when you're working with "color" & "layout" all day, you need something a little "lighter"... if I was predominantly using my machine for games, chat, etc, I'd definately go for something a little darker and more ornate.

i find a bug:

open a window with tabs.. the first and the last one have a round corner on the bottom, then, when you chose that one, you will see the tab become square.

I like those Mac styles, but the most bad thing is that usually the button's texts get truncated because the font is too big :(

@moonsinner:

Please read the Readme before posting bug reports.

Both of the issues you mention are covered.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. I am happy that you guys welcome the new TD4.0.

When you say "why so many Mac themes??, they all look alike" I'll try to answer why this one is special.

Over at the Mac emulation site www.aqua-soft.org, for the last 4 months a member base of 5000+ has been anticipating this release. Threads on the TD Panther series combined have accumulated between 20k and 30k of page views, considering aquasoft is such a small community (only 5000 members) that is a very large amount.

Although this theme was only released 15 hours ago it's release thread is into its 7th page.

Adding to this, is that this theme was a joint release together with aquafying legend Iceman, whose latest theme before this one was Jaguar 2.01 emulating Mac 10.2, until now accepted to be the only proper OsX port.

Also acclaimed neowin artists such as b0se, and Kol are part of the group of 9 talented artists that helped to make this the definitive XP port of Apple Os X 10.3.

Excellent work, TD. I've been using your TDK_Panther VS off and on since it came out, and this one is even better. Terrific work, thanks for the time you've spent on it.

BTW, I follow your work over at Aqua-soft, so like the others, I'm eagerly awaiting Plastic Pro 2 :)

holy crap, you are the first to ever say that.... thank you for your wisdom, im sure everybody would much rather go out and shell out hella cash for a new computer instead of downloading a couple files on the internet.....

take one(1) hammer and apply to face, use force if necessary.

at least come up with an original flame if you are going to troll around....

Disappointing, I'm afraid. I'm a great fan of the OSX Emulation scene, and I used to do a bit of app work at AquaXP - I'm not bashing what you've done, but it didn't deserve the build-up. The way I see it, it's been one big huge anti-climax. Frankly I'd rather use some of KoL's themes than this.

Nothing special, just another Panther theme with bad fonts. (No, they're not 100% accurate - don't give me that).

Congrats on all the hard work and the release and everything, but it's not what you guys made it out to be.

Nice enough theme, though.

That may be the case but I still find KoL's panther to be technically the best Panther theme out there.

Adamp2p:

Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it when people actually try a theme, before commenting.

@msbmsn:

If you don't believe that the fonts are 100% accurate, I can only say that you probably do not know how to install the supplied fonts, or have not been a designer very long.

@Dazzla:

If you believe that KoL's Panther is more technically a correct Panther, I can only tell you that KoL himself said, he is not out to make an accurate Panther theme.

A comparison for the real Graphic artists out there:

    • If built properly, swapping out the backend should be an easy task, but as the article points out, it's just Apple not wanting to do this.
    • Microsoft's new Xbox Shutdown change promises massive power efficiency gains by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been delivering a lot of changes for Xbox Insiders to test in recent weeks, and today, another wave of changes aimed at consoles was announced. The latest drop is testing features that let users find mutual friends easier, customize their UI, and streamline wishlisting. When looking at an Xbox friend's profile, an option will appear to see mutual friends, perhaps to get a refresher on how you know that person. This will depend on the privacy settings. The same applies to when checking the profile of a person who is not in the friends list, offering a quick way to find out if this is a known connection. Next, Microsoft is giving the option to change how the 'Home' and 'Games & Apps' sections show off available games. There is a new poster style that users can enable for an "immersive library experience." "We’ve also made personalization settings easier to navigate and customize by separating Home and My Games & apps into separate sections," adds the company. "And to make personalization even more accessible, we’ve added new shortcuts throughout menus, so you can quickly jump in and tailor your XBOX experience the way you want." Moreover, heading to the store page of an unreleased game will now offer players the option to wishlist directly from the game card. Lastly, Microsoft is making a change to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles that are in Sleep mode, making them use the more energy-saving 'Shutdown' mode instead automatically. The company says this can increase power savings by up to 20 times without impacting "performance, gameplay, or your ability to receive system, games or apps updates overnight." The only down side seems to be a longer startup time that can take up to 45 seconds. The setting was originally introduced in 2023, and this is only the latest update to it. The power option can be changed from the console settings at any time. This Xbox Insider update is rolling out today to select members of the program. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
    • 2 was a fun game but felt a bit shallow, like not enough there. I hope this expansion fixes that.
