I like it!

Version 1.1.1 changes the arrow image to look a bit nicer

It doesn't really scream Aluminum Alloy to me... It's not... slick enough. Alternating the shadow position between incoming and outgoing messages is slightly jarring, and they theme itself is... lighter, on the whole, than your message style.

A good effort, but I believe it needs some work.

bevels are ugly.

# by lains_navi on 11/20/04 at 15:27:29

well, at least you're honest ^.-
I'm having trouble trying to come up w/ a solution to the context and regular message images. still a work in progress. the first solution I came up w/ for this version was much worse, trust me ^.-
Hopefully the next version will be better. probably going to work on it some today. like i said, having trouble coming up w/ a solution -_- . i think i'm going to try just eliminating the bevels for the message images just to see how that looks next...

Flames look good mate.

Why not get Max's permission (from what I've seen he's a really nice guy about this sort of thing) and use the glyphs from the AA Desktops?

# by lains_navi on 11/21/04 at 23:51:28

hmm... I dunno. That's not a bad idea. I may at some point. i do kinda like my fire icon a little more than his, but the others he has look a bit nicer. I may send him an email asking him a little later today or something ^^

Next version will feature buddy icons using Max's original theme icons ^_^ . Max gave me the go ahead. I'll also make another design for the message frames. I'll probably make it as a second variation. The theme should be out sometime next week ^^

the preview is trippy!

# by lains_navi on 06/19/05 at 00:01:48

yeah, i know. some sort of gif rescale error. if you click it to view it in fullscreen it looks ok. that's why i mentioned to enlarge the preview to get a better look

# by spyker3292 on 08/10/05 at 13:52:02

Hey Great design I also like the icon. I was wondering if you could resize it (to 50x50) for me and email it to me (the icon) so I can use it as a buddy icon. spyker3292@gmail.com

# by spyker3292 on 08/10/05 at 13:54:54

O and the top bar doesn't change for me. Could ya help me

# by lains_navi on 08/10/05 at 14:36:30

In order to change the top bar, you need to use an application called ShapeShifter and use Max's Aluminum Alloy OS X theme. ShapeShifter costs $20, but it has a 7-day trial. It can be found here: http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/s...hapeshifter

As for the icon, I'm pretty sure that'd go against my agreement w/ Max on the use of his Aluminum Alloy icons. Sorry ^^;

The preview was really getting on my nerves (stupid gif resizing glitch), so I finally uploaded a small version that's the same as what it would normally be resized to. So, no more larger preview.
