It would be nice to see a theme based on the visual qualities of the,IMO, best movie ever, Amelie.

It would be like having shiney green title bar (much like the thread most recently posted about aqua that is shiney, but no stripes), with skipping stones for the open, close, min widgets.

I am already in the process of making the icons.

If a creator needs a mockup, please email me

rclark2@gladstone.uoregon.edu

Thanks!

I can see a Keynote theme based on Am�lie; any takers?

#3 Fri, 31 Jan 2003 - 17:33

brilliant idea...

#4 Fri, 31 Jan 2003 - 17:44

I'd like to see a mockup posted here... Thanks, good idea!

#5 Sat, 1 Feb 2003 - 03:39

YES please!

#6 Sat, 1 Feb 2003 - 08:35

you mean 'le fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulin' ?

#7 Sat, 1 Feb 2003 - 11:40

yes, the name here in the USA was just "Am�lie" for some reason.

#8 Sat, 1 Feb 2003 - 11:47

Yep, le fabuleux destin d'Am�lie Poulain is a great movie, the colors and color combinations are very nice, I would like to see a photoshop mock up, I don't think think a theme is the best idea ( green, red,...) but hey I'm not going to stop you ...

Yeah I don't know how great an OS X theme would look... I agree that a keynote theme or even a moving iDVD theme (quite a bit harder

) would be better.

An shot from the menu...

Creepy guys, real creepy.

#11 Mon, 3 Feb 2003 - 07:36

hmmm... ok

saw it. thought it was ok. not great, but good (and I usually don't go in for french movies)....but I don't think it had a stong enough design or visual identity to create a theme around it. the theatrical poster was nice, mostly bright green with spots of bright red, and i don't think that would make a good theme either....

if someone wants to make a mockup it would be a lot easier to comment on this idea.

OK, I made a mock up, but I don't have the capability to post it here. If someone would do this for me, I would very much so appreciate it.

my email is at the top of the screen. If you email me, I will attach the mock up in a reply.

Thanks,

Ryan

Off Topic:

Hey GODucks, you living in the dorms at UO? I am an alumni and did the dorm thing for a couple years. They sucked hard core, and I'm wondering if they are any better now.

On Topic:
Cool idea for a theme. I'd like to see more.

#22 Thu, 6 Feb 2003 - 15:30

No...Just an art student. The dorms, I hear, are pretty good. Though, I don't like the sound of the points for food system they have.

All of the dorms have T3 access

Just for that reason, I wished I lived in a dorm :]

Make a pink one and I'll use it.

#24 Fri, 7 Feb 2003 - 18:42

It seems the green I remember is a bit richer/darker than the green you show, which seems more aquafied/x-box/neon. No? Anyway, I think this theme has great potential, and is VERY refreshing as its not just recoloration, but I LOVE the stones along the title bar...

I really like the green look, it might look good in a deep blue too. But I really don't like the buttons!

I'd like to see a better preview though.

#26 Sat, 8 Feb 2003 - 20:12

Yeah, the buttons are kinda the crudest part about my mockup. I think that they should be a little tighter, smaller, and maybe different colors, or even just stars or somthing.

If there are any other ideas about how other elements in the GUI should look, please let me know. I would like to start making other stuff too. But, I still havn't heard from a theme creator about constructing the theme. I would be totally willing to hand the PSD file over when we get the ideas solidified and mocked...

Someone, please bring this on!!

#28 Wed, 2 Apr 2003 - 16:44

Just out of curiosity, what was the movie about?

#29 Wed, 2 Apr 2003 - 17:02

Never heard of either. oh well...

#30 Wed, 2 Apr 2003 - 18:03

For any of you who do not know what this movie is about I suggest you go and rent it. Must be one of the best feel-good movies ever.
Just watch it and see!
