Apple Red theme release

[chekkz]

The blue doesn't go with the wood effect...

 

Looks cool though.

 

Thanks...yes i know it doesn't go with it lolz thats why i asked for suggestions on the color.

do you have any suggestion?

[Sabr]

Oh sorry... Er, black or dark brown maybe? Or white...

[solidus636]

Is it just me, or does the menu bar convert back to white whenever I have another application in focus, other than Finder.

 

Like I'm using Firefox, and the menu bar is back to it's original color, but is soon as I switch to Finder, it changes to the modded black color.

 

Any help? =/

Just quit all your applications, and relaunch Finder. Unless this is happening after restarting?

Yea I concur with what Sabr said... and I'm almost certain it's not happening after restarting the app. That tripped me out the first time too lolz. Anything app that you want the new theme to be applied to has to be restarted. (Don't need to restart your machine)

[G0Ducks]

Could we get this one please? This is exactly what I've been waiting for since the rumors of Luminous as the new Leopard theme w00t! Looks hawtz.

What color should the highlights be

 

[ultimo]

@Sabr...

 

for my Sake... as U PpL have been doing it In n Out..

Please change the highlight color to green

 

If I could learn how to convert the highlights to a color of my choice... Green!!!

I visualize... it'll Look AMAZYN..

 

@-MoC- would you please create one file with the black menubar, Black drop down n Green highlights ? lyk the matrix theme..

Thanks in Advance.

 

@Chekkz

where did U get that < Background from ?

EDIT - found the location of thr background.. http://www.galaxygui.com/

Can try that in the woodn theme.. U may want to use the dark brown (in the stars) for the highlights with the other brown for the menubar..

Well actually, I hadn't restarted...

 

I just relaunched Finder.

 

I'm currently in Vista, so I'll boot back into Leopard later and I'll see if it works or not.

 

Thanks for the advice.

[Panik]

If someone can make an extras2/sartbin that uses and matches the iLeopard UI. I would be forever grateful! I can't wait for an app that finally automates this whole process!

[Sabr]

I don't understand why everyone's having a hard time making their own. Its a pretty simple command line process using the .jar files.

 

Panik, read this if you haven't already: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=103567

[Karvastor]

Yay 1st post!

 

Ontopic: I have a question as to the location of where to install the sartfile.bin

 

I go to system>library>privateframeworks> ?

 

The readme from the first page says I should go to CoreUI.framework next, but I don't see it.

 

The only things that I see with 'core' in them is - CALCore.framework , CoreMediaAuthoringPrivate.framework , and CoreMediaPrivate.framework

 

help plx :/

The red theme is very nice. I'm going to try to make a theme really soon so I hope it turns out well

[Espionage724]

I'm currently using the Apple Chrome theme (which is awesome btw) but is there a way to change the icons like Volume, Airport, Battery meter, Eject Button to inverted like the text is?

 

[ultimo]

@Karvastor..

 

copy the whole path from the textfile, switch to finder from the textedit

click on <Go> in the menubar, choose <go to folder> paste the path and click ok.. will take you to the hidden folder,,

 

This is how one can navigate to any hidden folder..

same about the 2nd file..

 

Thanks

[Espionage724]

To invert the system icons just open the pdf files with Photoshop and press Command + I (or control idk which one)

[ultimo]

@Espionage724

 

So far I did these menu bar icons shown in the screenie:

 

Spaces

Volume

ScriptMenu

HomeSync

Eject

Fax

Keychain

Displays

User

Time Machine (not completely as you can see. I guess there are some files elsewhere, I looked in the time machine app as well but didn't see anymore to edit. so maybe somebody can help with that.)

 

I'm not sure about the time, date, and spotlight :/ I assume the settings for these are stored somewhere else?

 

To change them you'll have to go to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and then show package contents for each menu item... Navigate to the resources folder and replace the pdf there.

[Espionage724]

Yep I know. But he didn't change some things that I needed changed (Airport and Battery). I used his Volume and Eject button though. Right now i'm looking for a way to change other icons like Vuze and Adium (they also have little icons that rest up in the top menu bar). Their black also but I can't seem to find the icon image for either of them.

 

Anyone want my battery and Airport inverted color files?

Hey, thanks for the help, but for some reason it's not being located.

 

I paste this exactly, into the "go to the folder" - /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Resources/

 

It doesn't come up with anything 0_0 It's probably called something else because of my old OS ... iono

[ultimo]

@Karvastor 

 

 what OS r U using ?

[Karvastor]

@Karvastor 

 

 what OS r U using ?

 

 

10.3.9 Yeah, im oldschool Im thinking of getting 10.4 soon

[chekkz]

10.3.9 Yeah, im oldschool Im thinking of getting 10.4 soon

dude! you could use shapeshifter... no??

 

@ Espionage724...I'm not a he.. I'm a girl.. lolz

 

And here are the ones fro adium: u gotta change them under:

/Users/YOUR NAME HERE/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/Menu Bar Icons

Then show package of the icons you want to replace, and put in the new ones.
