Description
*** YOU -MUST- INSTALL THE FONTS SUPPLIED WITH THIS THEME OR THE TABS WON'T LOAD PROPERLY ***Puma 3.0 Final Visual Style for StyleXP
Author: b0se
Contact: r.harvey@uea.ac.uk
Permissions and Thanks:
- KoL: Puma is an authorised mod of KoL's Smooth Stripes 2.8 Sunken visual style,
big thanks goes out to KoL for the permission and efforts creating Smooth Stripes.
Download more great themes from KoL's website, [link] .
- brewman: For his excellent shell styles.
- Binary: Permission to include his great OSX4XP cursor set.
- Jace: Beta testing!
- Xero: Original author of OSXLinedDark wallpaper.
- digitaljames: Author of the excellent AppleGold (PantherPro) background.
- rjohnstone: Object Desktop
- Naughty Dogg: Yz Dock themes
About:
- 4 colour variations, Puma, Professional, Snow and Gun Metal
- Each colour has its own:
- Shellstyle
- MobyDock
- Yz Dock
- Object Desktop Dock
- 5 Wallpapers to suit all themes (I only added the shadow)
- OSX4XP Cursor set
Recommendations:
- Extract zip contents to '\Windows\Resources\Themes', using folder names.
- Make sure you select the desired theme via Display Properties -> Themes.
This will automatically load the matching wallpaper and cursor set. Handy
- Use Classic view for explorer windows - no shellstyle
(Tools -> Folder Options -> [Check] Use Windows Classic folders)
- Use the BLACK cursor scheme
(Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers [Combo] Scheme: Windows Black)
- Large icons
- Install fonts
(drag them from '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\fonts' into your '\Windows\Fonts' directory)
- Use Mac-like font smoothing (much nicer on the eye)
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use the following....screen fonts
-> [Combo] ClearType)
- Use large icons
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use Large Icons)
- Extract the MobyDock skin folders into
(copy and paste folders under '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\MobyDock ' into your '\Program Files\MobyDock\dockconfig\Skins' directory)
IMPORTANT: Known Issues:
- When using 'No Border' styles, caption bars on dialog boxes (e.g. Display Settings panel) are
1 pixel too short either side. This does not happen on explorer windows (which is what you view
99% of the time - hence no real problem). Why this happens os beyond me (atm, anyway).
- When you select the desired theme via Display -> Themes, the Link Select cursor (the Hand)
will not load. This is apparent in all themes and has to be loaded manually via
Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers. Select Link Select (at bottom of list), change and point
to '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\OSX4XP\L ink Select.cur'
- Sometimes when appying a theme, e.g. [Puma] Pro No Border (by far the best!), the shadow on
the wallpaper is far too large. Simply right click on the taskbar and select Lock / Unlock taskbar
and it will sort itself out.

There never was a problem, turns out people didn't read the readme and didn't install the supplied fonts...
