How's the Osmium Theme coming?

Anyone else working on any new Themes we can see?

Here's where my slick Orange theme is at:

As you can see it has a couple of Aqua elements still floating around in there, so it's probably only at a .8 release right now. I'd like to finish it one of these days, but I've been really busy with my work lately. Maybe it'll be done in a couple of weeks...

wagmedia: how'd you do that nifty orange border along the entire window? I wanted to add a black border along the windows in the theme i'm working on but so far all parts that I need to edit have alluded me.

Hey, headbirth...thanks for asking. It figures, the moment I post sum'thing, I get too busy with work...oh, well I should not complain as I need the money. It will be awhile before I can get back to it. As of this moment I only have the title bar and none of the other gui elements worked out.

I also need to contact the original developer
and be sure I have his blessing to go forward with this.

Will try to do more work on it next week.

Yes...nice border wagmedia. Is it adjustable?

cre8tif - totally understand about not having time. I didn't realize this was a port of another theme. Is there a link to a screenshot of the other theme?

Actually it's an old Kaleidoscope Scheme called Osmium 76 by Romain Gauvin...he did some pretty cool Schemes that I used to use on OS9.

Here's the addy :

Search for "Osmium" once you get there.

BTW -- Nice screen Wag. I too would like to know how you got that orange border.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but the line around the window was just put there in Photoshop because I wanted the window to show up when I posted it. There isn't a way to add in the border, the window background color is just specified with an 8 x 8 pixel swatch.

I'm glad people are liking it. I saw some people wanting a warmer theme, so took it upon myself to start one.

The one question I do have is how to change the blue color around the focused text field. I can't seem to do it in Cocoa apps, it seems to be baked into each app. Is there a way to change that color that I don't know about?

Like everything else is Cocoa apps, it's hard-coded into the OS. I think.

That's kind of what I thought. I definately didn't find a resource anywhere to alter it. I can't change the text fields in Cocoa apps either. Freakin annoying.....

Look at the set of pxm#'s that start with "Edit Text/List Box". The third image of each one seems to have either a blue or graphite colored glow. This might be what your looking for. =)

I just looked and I forgot that I've already changed those pxm#'s. Those resources only work in carbon apps. The cocoa ones still have that blue glow. I was hoping it would be one of the clr#'s, but I haven't found one that does it.
