Chamatic is essentially my tribute to Chameleon and all the people involved with the project. Thank you. This is a theme I started a good while ago, but I was never able to finish, for either technical reasons or just lack of inspiration. I've recently revived it, and with a slightly different direction
. It isn't perfect, but I hope you enjoy.
I hope you all know how to install a theme by now! A few technical notes:
-This theme has a simple layout. There is a full sized background image, but since it is very simple, the entire theme should still scale fairly well. Keep in mind the icons are a tad on the larger side, so it may need a resize for netbooks (I may do this myself later on).
-Simple icons, with simple shadows. I tried to avoid heavy use of transparency. This is to sort of circumvent Cham's bug with transparency (mostly) in the second options screen (You will notice things don't look as sharp in the 2nd screen). The device_scroll icons are the only exception as they do use a lot of transparency, but I went for the creative touch there I suppose. (Did I pull it off?
)
-The default background is 1920x1200. There is a 1680x1050 version in the Alternates Folder. This is merely for consistency reason. The image should scale well when resized, or even if not, it is rather simple and you may not notice the difference. The choice is yours!
-You must be running a recent build of the RC5 pre-releases to take advantage of the Hover, i.e. Rollover effect. Also you may notice these Cham builds automatically use your resolution specified in com.apple.boot.plist, so no need to set the resolution within the Theme itself
. For older builds of Cham2, you will want to (Currently set at 1680x1050).
-Comments? Suggestions? I read all my comments, and am open to requests.
That's all I can think of for now...
