I think all it is is a modified drop shadow. Thats why it is grey. -Owl

That was actually my first guess as well... I just couldn't be sure.

This may be a stupid question but.. I've been going into ThemePark a little bit and I think I have down what everything does, except the clear states. I remember something in a co…

Clear states suck. End of explanation Seriously, here's the deal as much as I can figure out. For many elements, clear is completely ignored. In other instances, graphite/blue is…

Wow.. good explanation. So, clear states are a common problem? I was thinking I was just dumb since I searched the forum and found no other mention of clear states except in a top…

According to Apple, Clear is a variant of Aqua (like Graphite is). Clear is applied to a control in a non-front-most window that will do whatever the control does if you click on …

Wow, I had no idea that's how it worked, and I can't think of anybody else ever using inactive-yet-active buttons or noticing that there's two types. If people who use their comput…

I suspect that it's a hold-over from the days of NeXT and that it was somewhat of a casualty during the development of Aqua. Here's Apple's take on this from the Human Interface G…

Hmmm, never heard of this site before. Beautiful design (and lovely code), though admittedly doesn't seem to have a whole lot on it (yet, anyway). http://www.guigalaxy.com/

Wow, pretty site. But why call it GUI Galaxy? It seems more like someone's blog / portfolio.

yeah. I was going to post something about this. GUI Galaxy has been around for about three years. This is their third revision. It first started as a Hotline Server which mac artis…

Looks cool. I like the enter splash graphic.

lol this site looks very nice. As I read "GUI Galaxy" I thought it would be more something like a MacThemes.net competitor.. and I think that's why phil was the first to read this …

its not a site to showcase other, random people's art, so don't even worry about it competing with macthemes.net. it is a vent for these artists. the only thing they ever accepted…

They used to NEVER let stuff like this on Resexcellence. http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/...aquaish_lg.jpg I remember when they wouldn't accept a QuickTime mod I made a while …

I mean then again, the original Smoothstripes was not much besides a lack of stripes. So I don't know. But I really don't see the guy's point, seeing as there are some great altern…

What's the big deal? What if I loved the Aqua interface except for one minor thing? Say I didn't like the sidebar highlight color in Finder so I changed it. Why not upload it to a …

Man, they DO have a lot of really awful themes. They need to stop accepting them from some guy called "Peter MacWhinnie." He made these gems: It's as though he's completely u…
