What menubar icons are they?
If you made them yourself, could you release them?

Glad you like it It's pretty simple, just the right amount of noise and shading. Reminds me of a platinum version of my old Powerbook G4.

I really really REALLY like this, i was looking for something like this the other night

By the way, i have some questions

how did you get the apple to the power of 2 text, i can't seem to find the small 2 ;(

and what are those drive icons :3

thomaswolfe In reply to gdpr-6525929 [2009-04-07 19:57:51 +0000 UTC]

Hey - thanks for the fav

In answer to your questions...

1. The easiest way to get superscripted number 2 is by opening TextEdit. Click the Edit menu and select "Special Characters" - you'll find it under the digits section. Click insert, copy from your window and paste it wherever. All of the special characters in Textedit are recognized system wide in leopard, meaning you could have a heart for a drive name, if you wanted.

2. I can't honestly remember about the drives. I got them from MacThemes a while ago. It was a small release that didn't have a preview. I think the title was something like "extra drives." It came with 3 other wooden drives.

Anyway, hope that helps.

No problem. Yeah, the superscripts are under digits. They look deceiving at first.

Found the drive icons: [link]

How did you get that, silk?

BTW when will you release mod?

thomaswolfe In reply to ShadyBlues [2009-04-07 02:58:35 +0000 UTC]

Sorry, I don't really understand the question. I made this preview in Photoshop, so I used a text layer with Helvetica Neue. As a side note, I use Calibri as a system-wide font, via Silk.

Not sure about a mod release-date. Exams are coming up and I'm moving soon. I don't want to make a deadline that I can't keep. But probably sometime in early May, that is, if people are still interested.
