New theme project!

[Benjamin Hall]

So I just decided to take on a daunting new project:

This new project is the MAC OSX theme. (for the purpose of this screenshot--which went on Facebook as well, in my "computer stuff" picture journal--I disabled the transparency, but just know I do have glass transparency on the window shells)

Anyway, I picked this theme up on DeviantArt.com and am soon going to start customizing it to take on a new form of awesomeness. Any ideas for what I should do?

I already have ideas for a few small things, like the start menu background and shell appearance, removing the x's and -'s from the top right corner buttons in navigation windows and replacing it with glowing buttons, etc...

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to starting on this one.

The battery is a gadget, if that's what you're talking about. Although, for fun, I'm completely redesigning and reprogramming it, for some JavaScript practice

Benjamin, I hope you got written permission to modify that theme to redistribute. Also it'd be best to link to the original theme as well.

I'm not modifying the theme to redistribute; I'm modifying it for myself only. The battery gadget I will email the author to ask for permission to distribute a modified version.

Ah, well. Any chance I could still have a link to the original?

Apparently the place I downloaded it from doesn't have it anymore; I'll put it on Mediafire for you later today and post a link to the download.

Thats fine. I wanted to check what Creative Commons license it was placed under. Thats all.

Okay the readme file that came with it says it is copyrighted by Sagorpirbd,

Well, here is one little addition I am making to the theme; a new system logo.
This is still a work in progress.
On the left is the new logo (in progress) and on the right is the original one I used.
Due to certain individuals (none on here, don't worry) stealing my pics and trying to claim credit for them, I am putting text overlays like this on them from now on. Sorry to spoil your viewing pleasures.
