As 2007 begins to wind down, we’d like to thank you for your continued support and reading over these last several months since we relaunched in May. So while we stick around waiting for 2008 to arrive, we’d like to put out one more update before the new year comes.

In the beginning of 2007, Laurent Baumann released Blend, a silky-smooth pack of black and white icons as a complete system replacement. Though still as beautiful now as they were when he released them in January of 2007, those who wanted them for use in Leopard were stuck at old 128×128 sizes; now, the resident artist has taken his originals and supersized them at Leopard-ready sizes. Get the .icns files at the forums, or at the download link below.

If you’ve been hanging around MacThemes for a while now, you will very well remember the name Max Rudberg- best known for works like Milk, Aluminum Alloy, and Aqua Extreme. But his latest release isn’t a theme, it’s a Dock- two of them, actually- and welcomed releases for those who missed Max over the last year. Sporting slick white or black surfaces and high-contrast indicators, it’s the kind of release you’d expect from Max; download it now.
