[WIP][Theme] Mobile Me
So, this whole Mobile Me thing got me started on yet another project. I know - I have a lot of projects running, but I think I am going to merge two of them. Veggies Illustrated is not forgotten, but it's still mainly a "for fun" thing.
What is this new thing then you ask? Well - I decided I will make my first OS X theme, based on the screenshots provided by apple of Mobile Me.
I hope you can bear with me. Please tell me if I've got to many things running
There will be some releases in the near future.
Here's a quick draft.
Version 1 (scrollbar)

Version 2 (scrollbar)

Does anyone have the theme template from the last contest? I would love to use it for this project; as this is my first.

Re: [WIP][Theme] Mobile Me
I really dislike those scroll bars. I hate how rounded and glossy they are, and they don't really match the buttons very well.

Thanks, that's the kind of info I am looking for
. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it (except toning down the gloss)?

You have two real options here: match the buttons as best you can or come up with some style that complements them; I would personally recommend the latter. If you're aiming to match the buttons however, the scroll bars you have now are far too rounded. I would tone down and sharpen up the gloss, and maybe reduce the contrast all around. Really looking forward to this theme. ![]()

Re: [WIP][Theme] Mobile Me
Personally I'm really hoping that the Mobile Me theme will be a glimpse of the feature of Aqua in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, it looks great!
Somehow the scroll bar isn't a good match with the buttons. The style is different and so are the colors.

Just a friendly piece of advice: Mac OS X has a system-wide build-in spellchecker.![]()

I can't take it anymore, learn to type like an adult! You sound like an idiot. ![]()
Back on topic... Just a few more suggestions: I would recommend that you use hand drawn glyphs for the scroll arrows, the ones that you're using now are a bit fuzzy. Also, the scroll track is much too dark, lighten it up a bit. I really believe that this has potential, take your time and perfect it. ![]()

Re: [WIP][Theme] Mobile Me
I just started to work on a theme for this but I'll let you do it. I don't feel like doing the extra work. Maybe I'll make another set of scrollbars or something. Not sure yet. I'm not sure I like your scrollbars yet. Oh well. I'll decide later. ![]()

That's no excuse; however, I don't want to derail this thread any further. Moving on...

Grow up, I'm 14 and you don't see me talking/typing like that. Do yourself a favor and take some typing classes or something, really.
Anywho, I have to say the buttons are extremely nice. You have is a nice base on the scrollbar, but the glyphs are a bit blurry and you need to add more detail to it.
Other than that, I applaud your effort into making this theme, I can see this turning into a masterpiece. ![]()

+1, here's another 14 year old who knows how to type like an adult, or better in some cases ![]()
Don't make us young people look bad, ok? Although I have to say, I never took typing classes... just got really good while playing Halo because the time you spend typing you are immobile and a really easy target... nevermind.

@kevinandersson: I really, really like the style you are taking with the scrollbars. It doesn't look like they right size though, but you did say it's a mock up. Also, the buttons looks a bit darker then the actual ones?
Any ideas on what you're going to do with the toolbar buttons? I remember there was talk of being able to change the windows gradient colors, which would have to be done to use the black style Apple has.
