Mac OS Desktops

[XP_01]

If you would have bothered to look at the windows desktop thread, you'd have noticed the rules are EXACTLY the same as this thread, with the exception of the resolution size.

I did bother, why are the resolutions so limited? Almost nobody uses 800x600 anymore...

I use 1024x768. My browser screen won't fit 800x600 very well (especially with the extra borders and padding and whatnot that Neowin uses. 1024x768 is still widely used, especially on Macs because of 12" PowerBooks and iBooks.

That's why I don't understand why the resolutions in this thread are limited to 800x600 when they're 1024x768 in the (Windows) Desktop thread.

@nspeds:

Is it true that you can only click directly on the text (App name, File, Edit, View etc.) and Apple logo when using a 100% transparant menubar? ---> So when you click right next to it, it won't open the menu? Just something I'd like to know because I've read something about those "problems" when using transparant menubars. :)

I rectified that flaw by making the menubars 90% transparent; the difference is not noticeable.

By making the menubar elements have 90% transparency in photoshop and then importing them with Themepark.....

Why so people argue with rules when they are clearly for their or someone elses benefit?
