    The buttons are Aqua gel-like, but the menubar selections are flat. It seems conflicting.

    It’s not bad at all, but compared to the other great themes here, an Aqua update and recolor just doesn’t cut it.

    This is my fave of the bunch– although, I’m not fond of the orange.

    I agree with Geoff, not sure about the color orange.

    I like most everything about it except for the window title. Having the line underneath it hurts readability. Maybe add a box around/behind it and treat it similar to the other elements in the top of the window.

    I love the orange, Dan. Everything in this theme is doable in ThemePark, so no complaints there, either. The line through the windows’ title text doesn’t work, though, despite the coolness of what you were trying to accomplish. I took a stab at an alternative design that you can take a look at on my MacThemes Contest Suggestions gallery (click my name in the comments thread).

    @Joe: Yah, I agree with you. The changes look good. I whipped this entry together in the last 8 hrs, so i think it can be touched up a little bit.

    The lines thru text needs to go, it doesn’t create the correct effect anyway.

    As for the orange, if you don’t like it, don’t let that stop you. I think there would be plenty of color variations, ala Milk.

    Orange is the new black!

    I actually really like this..and for me a aqua recolour does cut it…simple is sometimes rather refreshing..imagine this in glossy aqua black.that would work very well…I think this has been overlooked and would work really well in many situations..designers like me could work very well with this..graphite elements and unified windows..I like..this should be made..Ill help out if this doesnt win..give me a shout ;)
