Dissing Timan right in front of him?? Wow.;))

Well it's better than doing it behind someone's back.;))

What I really don't understand about it's design is the need of emulating an Aqua Finder window. It looks weird having a (fake) window inside window. Doesn't look very professional.

Just a matter of personal preferences, I just don't like the overall design and accessibility.

Hey, you're entitled to your opinion, and I do not want to steal this thread from what its originally about.

Sorry, I tried to make a skin that does in fact reflect a real OSX app, it even was made following the Apple Aqua Guidelines, I'm also sorry its a skin that doesn't look like a default forum skin with a few graphic changes. You should also not judge a theme based on its looks, when you have no idea what the community is about. EMULATING THE LOOK AND FEEL OF MAC OSX.

Lets see you design a Mac styled skin and then you can talk.

Just hope the Aqua/Mac theme skin here on neowin will not just be a few image/color changes, and actually have a smoother layout in general while keeping the general look the same.

I'm very surprised (and glad) to see the logo changed considering how FlishFun and Neobond firmly assured us that they would NEVER consider any other logo.

Anyway, this news gets me even more excited about the update. I can't wait to see how the new Neowin will turn out.

offtopic/ I agree with Timan.

While everyone's 100% entitled to own opinion, saying things like "don't understand about it's design is the need of emulating an Aqua Finder window" clearly shows he(Neowave) didn't bother to understand the purpose of Timan's Aqua-Soft theme.

A theme that is supposed to emulate OSX interface gets criticized for emulating OSX interface... now that's weird.

Actually I know what the community is all about, so you shouldn't judge about things you don't have a clue about yourself either. I gave my reasons about why I think that Aqua-Soft's forum design doesn't really work, especially not on larger forums like Neowin.

And of course I judge a theme based on it's looks and how it works when using the forums. That's it's main purpose: Giving something a cool exterior without loosing functionality. But yeah, you did a great job EMULATING THE LOOK of Mac OS X.

Lets see you design a Mac styled skin and then you can talk.

Since when exactly is there a need to make something yourself before you can comment about it? I remember the time on Aqua-Soft when Mac OS X 10.3 Panther's new Aqua look was introduced and how a lot of users on the forum were bitching about it. How many of those people coded/designed their own, near flawlessly working, hardware accelerated GUI from scratch?

I still live in a free country (and I'm quite happy about that) so don't tell me about what things I can or cannot talk.

No hard feelings, I just don't agree with you.

<edit period ran out :pinch: >

here's a great logo for a black skin:

:shifty:

took a lot of work - invert and rotate hues 50%.

it'd look better if the shine in the middle was still white, though  :pinch:

That logo would be awesome for a Halloween theme :rofl:

Maybe all the current, plus the Aqua one and my special request of a Halloween one :shifty:

Hmm... you're forgetting the new default "glass" one. :shifty:

Talking about the current themes, will those be dropped?

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
