Do you want to explain why??

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.

Wow, i am glad you like my theme. And if you don't then leave this tread or give me advise to make it better.

lol what "flawless" looking osx theme have you seen for windowblinds

its one thing to sit around and slag off msstyles for having limitations but to say wb3 osx skins are flawless is retarded cos the ones ive seen OSXP and OSX are both crap

Hehe, the only problem is Windowblinds isn't flawless.

(Guys don't warn frogboy about this) ;)

You need to work on the corners, the shadowing, and get rid of the gellcell in the upper-right corner of the start menu. Also, the min/max/close buttons seem too small.

hmmmm you guys need to chill out :) fighting over a skin or a skin design is crazy. Remember my watercolor? and how after I started MANY people started making them. I was upset at first.... but it wasnt my style to begin with, it was MS' and this is Apple's, and I know I still ended up making the most authentic true to original watercolor skin :). I too have been making an OS X skin, which I hope will mimic the OS X theme as close as possible, given certain limitations. But I wont fight about it, if either of you wish to slag my theme then thats fine, I dont care if it meets anyones standards, I'm doing it for myself, and releasing it for everyone, because I couldnt find a OS X skin that actually looked worth using. Ja450n you seem very self centered, and quite frankly your theme doesnt look like the real OS X, to a degree it does, but not entirely, I too have used OS X. DJP I havnt used your theme, so I cant comment, but I've seen screenshots and it looks ok but I want something more from mine, I want a clean look, when using screenshots you often will get residue (lil pixels out of place and such) and sometimes that takes away from the theme. Anyways, thats why I'm making my skin, so it can look how I want it to look :) And Dazzla at first I took down the shots, incase apple came after me(after someone's advise) but now I'm going to release it anyways, but I'm not going to put shots up simply because I dont want anyone stealing any graphics from my theme :) But I guess that will happen after I release it anyways. I am also going to try and Make a decent Lucida Grande font. try being the key word there, anyways my theme will be done by the end of the month, but it will just be the skin, and maybe a wallpaper, no extra stuff :)

ok I wasn't going to say anything but this has got to be said. first of all I won't say that you don't have skinning talent but you aren't the god of skinning ok? I won't say everyone BUT I know for a fact that Meph had started his version of watercolour a LONG time before you even announced that TGTSoft had given you a halfway done version of it.

The fact of the matter is that watercolour was a cool theme and since MS didn't include it in final its only safe to say that people are going to want to reproduce it. It might just be me but you come off like your the originator of themes or something and I would just save that kind of attitude for when you come up with an original theme and not a copy or a port.

WickedKitten, I dont think I should reply to any of your posts considering all I have ever seen you do is bad mouth everyone. you have a terrible potty mouth also (not that I'm much better ;)) I doubt meph started a watercolor theme before me, because I had started before TGTSoft gave me anything (but does it really matter anyways?). I'm sorry you feel you need to back him up, but I wasnt pointing anything at him. Who cares who does themes first or not? It's crazy to fight over bitmaps, and it's not worth the time. And I'm sorry you think that about me, I dont act as if I made the themes... cant you read my title - GUI porter ;) I have always stated that I am porting these things.

im not defending meph, im using him as an example of someone who started watercolour before you announced you were doing it.

i already know your just porting them, im just saying quit acting like everyones coping you and stealing bitmaps from you and **** since your PORTING from others anyways.

Haven't used WB much have you. The titlebars, minimize, max, close buttons, etc are all as close to the real thing as you can get. Gotta agree with Binary here....you just need to stop talking until you know what you are talking about.

when did I say anyone stole anything from me? I simply said I wont post screenshots so people cant steal my ideas... if they want to use grainy bitmaps from my screens I could care a less, its the way I do things thats different from others (I misused the word graphics there, I meant ideas). Also I stated that I had no reason to be upset for the very reason that they wernt my themes to begin with, do you know how to read? Or do you just skip the main points so you can flame me? :ermm:

by the way...the OSXP and the OSX WB themes are closer to the real thing than any styles skin out there. I'm anxious to see what Binary comes up with, but ultimately the limitations of styles will hurt.

im using wb right now actually, plava winstyle by treetog if you know the one.

sorry but just because the titlebar has shiny buttons on it that are in the right place thats only ONE thing is osx, you find me a windowblind theme that has a working dock and the top bar like osx and then you can talk but until then you can stfu.

lmao steal your ideas? excuse me but your PORTING. you've already stolen apples idea duh.

like I said start bitching about people stealing ideas from you when you've made an original theme. Like how you said:

"Remember my watercolor? and how after I started MANY people started making them. "

i already stated MY main idea in the first post, you aren't skin god. When you come out with something ORIGINAL then you can act like your the pied piper of hamlin and say people are copying off of you, but as far as "your" osx theme goes anyone with a brain can either boot up a mac running osx or go to the apple site just like you prolly did.

mhmmm whatever you say. I dont have time for you. And I'm not going to keep this stupid war going. As I said I am making it for myself, so it will be a bit different then apple's but still keeping it as close as possible. If you ever made a msstyles skin, you'd realize there are alot of tricks you can do that others wouldnt have thought of. I noticed people DID copy some of the effects of my watercolor theme, and this is because I used their themes and used my own also, so I know what they took from mine or didnt, but like I said I didnt make a big deal out of it like these guys were.

Dont reply wickedkitten unless you can make a valid point.

Should i get rid of the aquamax picture or not.

I thought it would look cool.

valid point

if your making it for yourself and you dont care what other people think quit posting threads looking for lip service before the thing is even released. either that or just admit your just making the theme for people to admire your talent.
