It's kind of like a mold... Like it or not, it kind grows on you. I hated my windows when I made them, and I have a gallery of hideous window ideas that I hope will never see the light of day. Orange is really just a highlight colour in this theme, so it'll proballbly look odd on the theme until

Hi there Ken, How do I start a theme wiki? And sorry Mikkel, wasn't my intention to hijack the thread, I just thought I would continue the mockup-title-thread, seemed logical at the moment :) Jan Niklas, I don't think it looks like MacOS. I don't know exactly what you're thinking about, but

I agree. I've seen too many comments like That theme is ugly because I don't like the green wallpaper. Comments like that are narrow minded and not helpful to the creators. Mentioning what you DO like would be much more helpful. Even if there's only one small part of the theme you like.

I agre wholeheartedly, but sadly I don't think there's no way to really enforce it. You're always going to get users who say That's the worst X I've ever seen or Y is better... at that point, you're probably never going to get more detail out of them, and if you do, would you really want to know

One thing I need to say about Vista is they did good with the window buttons. I'll give em credit where credit is due. A few weeks before I started this theme I read as many reviews and interface guidelines as I could, and one was a review on GUI aspects of Vista and OSX. While they come a dime a

While it doesn't sound like a big deal, it's just another thing to look at. If I rounded the corner then the button would need to be 1 or 2 pixels lower to accommodate the top-edge, breaking the users ability to slam. You can't slam with floating (non maximised) windows. Mac user
