This is another screenshot of the new theme I demonstrated in my previous post but this screenshot shows the theme being applied to the panel + the desktop context menus. I really like the way this looks. The color tone of the dark/translucent glossy/glassy areas in the content area can easily be changed to any …
Although, this next release (Pilot 11) is coming along at a slower pace, I want you to rest assured that the project has not stagnated and that I am right here and actively working on it. The main reason for slow updates are R&D, creativity + code development as it takes a great deal of …
So as you know, I’ve been spending a lot of time on theming over the last few weeks and this is not just a mere customization of CSS. To get that beautiful acrylic effect, I have to do substantial code changes and because it is a large project, it takes time to update all of …
