Description: White plastic (go figure!) with green LEDs.

Graphical Intent: For literally years I've always wanted a theme that emulates the white plastic used in Apple's consumer computers. So, here's my try at it. This theme takes particular design inspiration from the current white MacBooks.

General Comments: While I have never put together a full-fledged theme, I have tinkered in ThemePark enough to know what's possible (plus I had a little help from forum members). I've taken great care to make sure that every element of this theme is absolutely feasible in ThemePark, and that despite being a theme based on the color white, it had enough contrast to be usable on a daily basis.

    Excellent idea and mockup… the only thing I don’t like is the “selected” color-gradient and outline for activated title-bar menus (in the mockup, “Finder” and “Preferences”, though I’m not sure how I would do it differently and remain true to the concept.

    Thanks guys! :-)

    And I sure wouldn’t mind a professional icon designer making a matching set. ;-)

    The LED elements caught my eye immediately. They’re relatively simple, but they mesh well with the theme and definitely give it a unique flair :)

    This just has to win. It outclasses every other entry, including those from the more popular themers.

    I love the crisp, white buttons but the deep shadows on some elements kinda ruin this theme for me.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner! Wonderful work, Sage.

    Dealbreaker - you can’t do what you want to do with the progress bars. I made a quick-n-dirty mod of a technical possibility and stuck it on my MacThemes Contest Suggestions gallery (click my name in the comments thread).

    What FB Eye™ said - this is the new Milk, seriously. Sharp, slick, excellent contrast. Maybe consider LED color variants. It’s really really great otherwise.

    I don’t understand the big deal. It looks almost identical to cerebro with the exception of a few tweaks. The only original idea seems to be the leds which do happen to be a great idea.

    I gotta say..I dont get where people are coming from with cerebro!! spec savers…but this is a little to obvious and bland for my taste…very nice mock-up and good concept but just not really for me..I dont really like the whole led thingy..laters J
