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?

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
