Ja450n i don't mean to be a jerk but...i'm not sure why you are giving someone else a hard time about giving credit when you used the name of my WB skin and the buttons i sent you which i spent a lot of time tweaking and making (remember the 32-bit alpha aqua buttons) and you gave me no credit anywhere, etc. please explain...

BTW as for the aquaskin. I am already busy with an update. Fix a few bugs, and i'm still searching for one. Version 1.1 is ready.

And i want to add soundeffects and icons. Please stay tuned.

actually... i didn't use the Buttons that you sent me...

i was working on my own.. and ran into a problem with the alpha channels. i found out later, by emailing TGT. that most of the buttons don't fully support the alpha blending...

as for the windowblinds skin.. i don't really recall stealing the name of that.....

what is the name of your windowblinds skin??

Aqua pack ??

acording to the readme... it's mostly Drakon's and Cycopath's theme...

oh well.....

WTF Guess who just updated his skin.

It's pretty lame, now you are using also the same lucidagrande which couldn't be from apple

i quote

" as for the lucida grande font...

it would be nice if you gave the author of this font credit...

it is not the REAL mac font.. otherwise. it would be copyrited to apple."

And the scrollbars are suddenly changed, they become larger. How did that come?

Did i give you an idea maybe? Even the size is now the same.

I guess you made another AquaMax wannabe? ;)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But serious, i don't care Ja450n. I used some of your ideas and you used some of mine. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

That's life.

actually.. the lucidia grande font came from Aqua-Soft...

i was looking through my archives.. and decided to use it..

(before this thread was even started)

the scroll bars changed because i got an e-mail from a user of my theme... he asked if there was a way to put the ripples back in the scroll bars..

and if you look at more than just the BMP's you'll see that i have tiled the Scroll bars.. (like osx does) and not just stretch them...

as of now.. stylebuilder (which i'm sure you used to make the AquaMAX style) does not allow this...

and this is in no way a wannabe of the aquamax style....

my OSX style was out first :p

in fact... it was out before stylebuilder... and i have not used Stylebuilder yet... (to write any code)

(sorry TGT)

oh.. and for anyone trying to rip my BMP's GOOD LUCK.....

the script files are EXTREMEly modified.. :p

Well, i only like the interface. Nothing more. I always had a pc and i don't have money to buy a mac. The bad thing about mac is, you have to buy a complete mac. Which includes harddisk monitor etc. I already got that stuff. I don't want to buy it 2 times. If i could buy the macmotherboard with a processor on it, i would buy it. But i'm sure it wouldn't be compatible.

Ya know DJP did something that I planned to do... Make an OSX skin that actually looks good!

I've been downloading themes/skins/logons/boot screens for OSX since Neowin went up and the various other random sites that crept up (Sowwy Neowin, I came here as a visitor first instead of registering.)

I've tended to keep quiet, hoping one of the OSX people would [a] make it authentic or at least make it nice to use.

For OSX, I've used Dabinka's, the Eclipse Skins, and a 3rd person's that I can't remember the artist's name.

Each skin always had some oddity I hated. For example, Dabinka's uses Trebuchet MS as the system font. -- Not authentic but *I* liked it. All the authenticators use Lucida Grande, which without clear type looks like crap and when clear typed, I still don't like it bolded.

Everyone seems to use a bright-on-the-eyes "authentic wallpaper" but I find it odd that from a Mac site, its a darker richer blue -- did I scream? No. I changed wallpapers.

Icons... I used various resources to the point I can't remember who's icons are who's. Why? Some had them right, some created them from thin air. An example would be office:mac icons. They are ugly. But the gelled onces as opposed to, what I see them as, flat Flash Gordon-esque icons look good.

Point is, DJ did the exact same thing but to a better degree (btw, only one complaint DJ that if you could fix, I'd love ya for it... you and the red bow. ::Is kidding:: ;)

So get over the ego battle and fix your SKINS! :p

DJ - Skin rocks... but.. I like pinstripes :p

Dont want to spoil the party or anything but this has already been done a few times already. One theme I know of is Blackcomb pro 1.1 Apparently it has something to do with an opaque bitmap or something. (Coreect me if I'm wrong). Anyway checkout the theme and see for yourself, and keep up the good work, You're putting Ja450n to shame.

This is hilarious.

1) DJN - Your theme sucks. It's purely ugly. The whole idea of OSX is aesthetics coupled with function.

2) Dazzla - You're an 8 year old. Grow up.

3) Ja450n - You're a ****. Your theme isn't even that much better than his in the first place. There is no reason to act the way you do.

while i like the OSX look, There is no way you can make a decent looking OSX skin with StylesXP. They all look like crap. Its not the author's fault....its the limit of StylesXP. But you take a WB 3 OSX skin, and it looks flawless. Huge difference between the two
