The red caption text is really hard on the eyes. The font shadow in your litestep clock looks weird. I don't like the wall.

The icons, vs and findexder looks pretty sexy.

You should also do something about that horrible tagging, and in your notes you say that the winamp was made by machine56, which it's not. It was made by blueslaad.

not bad, but a theme like this is made of details and there are some aspects that could be bettet.

not bad, this is a theme made of little dettails and there are some things that could be better.

also, i think you should credit properly the autors of the thing you are using, for example the litestep is simple dark with just costom images

Thomax says:

well you don't have to tag osx, mac and windows. Either you use mac or windows. no need to tag both.
There's also no need to use the tag "dock" when you don't use a dock. Screenshot is no need to tag because it's already in the screenshot section.

I'm no expert when it comes to tags, but i usually use tags that has something to do with the colors

ADZ, almost everything has been done before, you can't just keep on bringing these "stupid" comments about unoriginality and unuseability on every second screenshot submitted here.
Personally i think this is my favourite of the bunch of these, and i'm glad he submitted this, original or not.
if everyone needed to come up with something super original in order to submit here, there wouldnt be alot of screenshots here, now would it?

kudos to you, NickDC.

VERY nice. It looks like you've solved your caption bar tile problems too. I would suggest a lighter caption text color (Possible white), with a Continuous shadow around it. It would make it much easier to read.

Of course if you like it like that... then never mind :D.

@ chiwou and Hoodylum, you have a pm!

@ sakurakira, well i would like to do it, but i don't know how to...so, how can i add a shadow on caption text? Which setting i need to modify?

Are you still using ResEdit? I don't know how to do this in Style Builder.

You need to add these values in Window.Caption

TextShadowOffset = 1,1
TextShadowColor = 0 0 0 (or whatever RGB value you want)
TextShadowType = Continuous


Continuous: a glowing shadow around the entire text
Single: a single drop shadow

For a caption bar with a texture like you have there, I would suggest the Continuous because it will help to separate the text from the background texture.

Actually, a better way would be to just find a VS with shadow on the caption bar, like ones by Lassekongo83, and look at those text files. That way you can see exactly where you need to add shadow attributes.
