Thanks very much for quick reply! All is clear now. Mike

Minor note: megabits should be abbreviated Mb, and megabytes should be abbreviated MB. Bytes are generally used when you are talking about a communications protocol (modem, etherne…

Larkost meant communications protocols usually use bits per second, not bytes. But curiously, download managers and ftp programs generally measure in bytes per second. The 1000 vs…

Solidly out of the running, I'm going to try to finish my theme off by myself. I'm stealing Cody's idea and posting this in an effort to get some suggestions. Thanks. Before: Af…

i like this kind of menu style,i dunno why there is a few themes use this kind of menu style.

Nice. I actually like your version better. Good that youre taking a concept to the point of completion

I love the fact that you're going to try completing it regardless whether you win or not. Go Cold Chrome!

I like the new tabs and the menu is awfully generic, but a bit easier on the eyes. Pity the surface isn't quite chrome anymore, heh.

The menu isnt that generic. Ive noticed that a capsule for selection in a menu has become somewhat of a trend lately (a few mockups have this kind of selector) but by no means is …

No, you see, the first picture with capsules is "Before", and the "After" image is the more generic non capsul menu.

In OS X can menus even be like the rounded rectangle (capsule is like an aqua button) in the first mockup?

looks nice. the only thing that bugs me still is the blurry apple logo.

wow! cold chrome might take over the number one spot on my g5. i know you just started but i figured someone will ask at some point so i figure what the hell(?) any idea of an eta …

Thanks Dan. I was just wondering about the actual shape of the menu itself, not selectors and whatnot surrounding the text. I wasnt sure if it can be anything other than a rectan…

I say keep the old menus and then for the rest, go with your new & improved mockup. I really like the original menus.

I like the original version better, but both are nice.

The after is much more usable to me -- although the original submission was one of my favorites in the running. I hope to see it made.

The newer version is by far the better one. The menus in the first are... not pretty. At all. Um, my only suggestion would be to make the menu selection thing rectangular. I disl…

I kinda like this new style. It reminds me of the ports of Max's themes on phones. Very interesting approach... That said, Im not sure if it matches a theme like this with upsid…

Have you guys seen Metallika V1 really nice theme by dewey99 found at ResExcellence themes page.

Seemed to me like an okay concept. Needs to be finished though.
