U.C. Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 This is a concept UI created by "violinist", over at MacThemes2. It looks a bit like Aero but far far better. I hope he is the secret design engineer working on the Leopard theme secretly. The original thread is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShadowWolf Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 By god I hope that is the new theme, it looks like it will kick ass . Is there anyway to load it into a regular Tiger system, or is it a private theme system? Im praying I see this theme again at WWDC with Jobs presenting it . Edit: oops, I didnt see it was just a concept, but still really nice as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3mur Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I'm not a big fan of the dark blue transparent look.. Also, am i the only one to notice that osx startup slows down after changing a theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ai Haibara Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think it looks really nice, even if it seems a little "Vista inspired" Sherry Haibara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Puppy Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I love the look of that theme... although it seems that dark-coloured themes tend to make users depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sev7en Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Great design for sure but the second picture looks too Vista-like and it is (not) good :censored2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunches McGinty Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I love the look of that theme... although it seems that dark-coloured themes tend to make users depressed. I think a dark coloured theme works better because it's easier on the eyes than a light one. Sometimes it can be painful using my Macbook because it's all so bright, and that's with brightness at the lowest level. Love the look of the theme though. It looks quite pretty and less bland than the standard grey look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idividebyzero Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I dont like it, it would get very old after using it for awhile. Especially the blurry glowing buttons and text. The look also reminds me of a name tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Some features of it look good, but then there are other parts which look extremely bad. For example, the glowing around the buttons looks horrible. I don't think I'd be able to stand that. It's too futuristic and not as smooth looking as Aqua is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunches McGinty Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Thinking about it, the only thing I don't like is how the unified look would be lost. If it was unified and some ideas were tweaked to suit, I think I'd be lobbying Apple to have a go at doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asap18 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I could care less about the theme, but the new "preferences pane" is reall innovative. Very efficient design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.C. Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Guys this is just a concept created by some guy. It may not be the look of Leopard at all. Though I still hope we get an awesome color combo like in the concept. The buttons just look toooo Vista. Love the flip and other effects though. Plus I love transparency.

EFI Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 1. This does not look like a design that Apple would try to do, or fall under their design standards 2. I dont like it, it looks to close to Vista's color shades, and its not innovative. Honestly though, I'm not liking this theme too much. . I think Aqua still looks better. We'll see what Apple comes out with though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cringemaster Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 AS nice as this looks now, it'll get old after a while. Too much activity and movement tends to get annoying (*cough* vista *cough*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollcage Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 AS nice as this looks now, it'll get old after a while. Too much activity and movement tends to get annoying (*cough* vista *cough*). Vista doesn't have very much in the way of window effects and movement. It would have to be more like: (*cough* Beryl *cough*). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollcage Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You can't change the screen gamma on a real mac? Just raise it a little if you can. Go into System Preference > Displays > Color. From there choose a profile in the list to the left and click calibrate. You'll be able to set the screen setting to what is most comfortable to you.
