Well when I was 99% done with the NeXT theme December 31st, I had a major catastrophe and lost all of my recent updates to the NeXT theme- I was pissed. So Jan 1st I spent 15 hours starting from scratch with a base Aqua theme file and opted to not use any of the old theme file, doing it all starting from zero again. It turned out to be worthwhile. Here is the result:
Admittedly, NeXT is NOT an exciting interface i nthe least but for those of use who have been around since it was the next hot thing, it is pretty exciting how much I got OSX to feel like NeXT with this new release. I had some foot soldiers working with me on this one, folks who still have and use their NeXT systems to send me screenies of whatever I needed to get this overhaul on the fast track to being as close as you can get to NeXT without being NeXT.
So for those of you who this GUI caters to, it will be available in a few days.
BTW, there will be two variations with the release, one with an all black titlebar to be totally true to NeXT, and one with a near black titlebar for those who would rather read titlebar text than sport the whole NeXT visual enchilada.
