I have to ask though, what programs does everybody use to run their themes??? Is it Shape Shifter....because i mean everybody's menu bar extras does not have that annoying double background, and i was wondering how to fix it?

PS I will be posting my desktop up once i fix that annoying menu extras double background.

Cheers,

See you all soon :)

He's talking about the folders in system preferences that have the desktop pictures ;)

No no...I'm saying how did you add custom icons to each sections of the folder...Minimalist, scenery, etc

Should be in the resources. Check there.

Well that's pretty cool! Thanks for that (Y)
I forgot to include the information about the icons in that article. You can just place them in the resources folder. It looks for 20x20 tif's if I recall.
anybody got any info on how everyone is having "NORMAL" menu extras in the menu bar?without the double background?Thanks in advance
No one knows what you are talking about. What "Double Background?" If you are referring to the fact that your menu extras still have the default background when you menu bar is different, try logging out and then logging back in. If that's still not working, it could be a third party program that has the menubar background hard coded in as a graphic. It's rare but it happens.But really, we won't know exactly what you are talking about until you post a screenshot of it.

Here's Safari 3 with SafariStand installed, for example...

I think he is referring to examples like this, where SafariStand hardcodes the default Aqua menu bar as a graphic, and thus, it overrides most of the Canum theme I've applied with ShapeShifter. (You can see some parts of the menu bar are properly displaying Canum.)

Like Joshua said, you'll need to likely disable some third-party add-ons (in this case, SafariStand) to get everything looking the way it should.

It's been a long time since I was using ShapeShifter regularly although I have been a Stand user for years, since it first came out in fact. I have never seen Stand do this. It could be that it was added in a more recent build after I stopped using ShapeShifter, but I find that really odd given I can't think of any reason why Stand would need to draw the menu bar.

This continues to look like this even after quitting Safari and reopening it?

What I was referring to wasn't third party apps drawing the menu bar but rather third party apps that have menu extras. Often times a developer will just have the menu bar graphic as a background on their menu extra so if you change the theme, the individual menu extra still looks bad. This is rare however given that most developers are smart enough to just make transparent menu extras and if they aren't, most good themes will have an appskin for it that covers it.

The screenshot you posted just simply looks to me like when you haven't restarted the app.

yeh that's exactly what i am talking about...although i do get it in safari i also get it in every app including finder!?? which is odd! But i'll have a play with it tonight and check around and see what i can do! Cheers

Apply theme. Log Out. Log In. Still there? If so, post screenshot. It's hard to help someone who's not willing to take a little effort in describing their problem accurately and providing good resource examples of it.

here is a screenshot of what it is doing....

This is still happening after i have combined restarted, logged in and out etc...so what's going on?? i still don't know! lol Hope you can help...thanks for the help so far

Hope to hear from you soon :)

Anybody know of a good fix to use with the menu bar extras...it adds an extra background behind each item and doesn't look to:(ood :(

i'm using shape shifter to manage and run my themes

PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP!

did you log out or reset your mac after applying the shapeshifter theme? if not then there's your problem ;-)

here is a screenshot of what it is doing....

This is still happening after i have combined restarted, logged in and out etc...so what's going on?? i still don't know! lol Hope you can help...thanks for the help so far

Hope to hear from you:)oon :)

I'm guessing you're on Leopard?

no actually it's the illuminious theme and i'm on 10.4.10

Hanging for the release of leopard!...

But yeh i have heard of a fix which is turn off the relaunch finder when the theme is applied...and relaunch the finder using apple option esc and i did that and it still does not work :(

How do all of you guys on here get your themes to work in that regard of the menu extras as i'm still yet to see this error in ANYBODY else's themes!! :( just mine

I don't know what you mean by "menu extras," but see the screenshot I attached earlier. As you can see, I use the Canum theme, but it doesn't work properly with Safari 3 + SafariStand. So, there's usually no easy workaround, you'll just have to revert to stock application setups.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
