Why is it such a big deal to install a new drive in your PowerBook? I guess it could be difficult if you don't have a FW enclosure, but then again, you have two PowerBooks. I'd jus…

I put this rough draft together in about 20 minutes...it's a theme based on the look of a military PDA . I'm calling it either battlePOD or Military Device. Any and all feedback ap…

My first impression was GO ARMY! though i don't know about the Teal color for the title bar area. Would the widgets have a 'glowing' roll-over effect? by that i mean like an irides…

Thanks for the pennies, every little bit counts. Yeah the teal is probably gonna change. My vision for the theme is that it's gonna be half solid hard green plastic, and the elemen…

If you can also give it that worn, used look you see on the screenshot of the actual product, that'd be cool also... Just a thought

i have to agree. military is one of the organizations that 1) keeps things if they work. meaning they get some kind of stain and patina / used look. 2) likes to keep things mean an…

Slightly updated version. BTW These elements are being put into Themepark, so it's more than just a mockup:

titlebar text should be black

the teal in the first attempt looks very nice...changing it to the way it is now doesn't look as good, and the title bar isn't readable at all - the contrast is just too low

I mentioned that I've spent less than an hour working on this right? keywords in my first post: ROUGH DRAFT and yes, i actually do like the teal quite a bit upon further reflect…

Keywords in first post: "Any and all feedback appreciated." That said, never seeing a military PDA, I am unable to compare this theme to one. The color scheme is kind of an ick…

There. that's what they look like

Cool. Seeing that, your theme is very true to the PDA, however I suggest maybe a duller shine on the window widgets

add some muck around the buttons to give a more used feel.

the widgets are too blurry. You need to crisp them up a little. lite the Neos-theme.

The image compression is most of it. I'm working on a smoother version, all from scratch. I'm gonna put in more elements before I share anything else. Network shadow - just out of…

On my gf's ibook.... basically i plug in a network cable and the internet works... this is at my place.. right now im at my gf's place...she has a dlink wireless router ... the ai…

Does she have any security in force? WEP? MAC address filtering?

Have you ever connected this iBook through this particular router, or is this a new router? If it's new, then I think you need to set up the router for DHCP.

right now this router is connecter her windows pc via a patch cable...and wirelessly to her dad's computer... i will have to look into this dchp and WAP pw thing... her dad set up …

success! apparently automatic settings don't detect... so i manually put in the ip address of her router, etc... one thing tho... should i leave the Location settings for 'autom…
