Hmm... A theme based on the Royal Guards? It's a nifty idea, but not one that I'm ready to tackle right now. One project at a time fellas. Besides, this entry in the contest a…

OK... how's this: I updated the window widgets to look like the grey peices on the side of the helmet.changed the upper tab backround to be a recessed black well, to match the blac…

Cody, that last one is really nice! Just one request; can the text be just a little bit darker? It's just a little too light in an office setting. Other than that, I'd use that …

Looking great! I like the new widget area but do the tick sliders have to be so big? Could you shrink them down a bit....?

I like everything aside from the dark area that tabs overlay (remember that the color there will be the standard aqua window color, tabbed areas are generally darker actually). The…

Please give me some constructive criticism, and let me know what you think. Should I continue to work on this, and build it in ThemePark? Does this actually look like Stormtrooper…

Nice ideas you have here cody. I have always had a thing for white themes with high contrast. I even modded Milk so that its menus would be completely black and not a lightish bl…

I PMed ya bv

h. where are you? you seem to be on about the same time as me... i'm in hawaii.

Cody, v22 rocks!!! The widgets are suh-weet and the theme reminds me more and more of the stormtrooper armor... Go Star Wars!!!

Nice work, Cody! I love the latest mockup. It really looks much better than the first version. One suggestion I might have is to make the glossy parts a little subdued so that t…

ok. I think I'm happy with the layout now. I'm going to go ahead and start building it. It may take me a while as I have never successfully completed a theme before. I'm also p…

I realise that the "54 Mbps" of 802.11g is a theoretical max which will never be achieved in real life....BUT.... I timed the transfer of a 2.25 Gb (=2250 Mb) file on my network an…

No, your calculations are wrong: Your wireless router has a theoretical max transfer rate of 54 Mbps, where Mbps = Mega "bits" per second. Your 2.25 Gb file equals 2250 Mega "byt…

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…
