I really like the way they look on my phone, and was kinda hoping of getting the same effect on my macbook. thanks for the help.

hmmm, it's an interesting idea. I wouldn't mind it, it could start a whole theme, a green and black theme, though it would be pretty hard to pull off.

Yeah. Its been a while since I've seen a good theme like this. I know people are always trying to port the OS look of SL, just figured we could go the other way. I'd love to see see black with green accents mostly because its my favorite colors in a good blend. Thanks for the help anyone can give.

I would recommend trying out iStat Menus 3. I use their battery, which is green. It's also possible to hide the battery icon when the computer is fully charged. Download here: http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/

Well I was also thinking of the fonts and apple logo being the same way.

I made an update to Aqua Extreme today, with the following changes:

- Added status icons for Cloud.app, Transmit, Echofon & Twitter

- Fixed incorrect graphics for AirPort and Battery

- Tested the Obsidian installer on 10.6.6

You can download it from http://www.maxthemes.com!

So great to see you keeping the project up-to-date, Max !
Your Aqua Extreme is the first touch of themeing I apply to my MBP (thanks for talking me through it). I'm enjoying Marble

Max, I love the Obsidian menu bar, but I find the issues associated with most status icons keep forcing me to change back to the original menu bar:(. I am sure you can well appreciate that if the smallest thing looks out of place it spoils the effect - hence you trying to improve the mac experience.

I however would like to thank you for your efforts and your gift to us!

Keep up the good work!!:)

Thank you Max!

Aww… But then you should use the template on the first page to remake those icons so they fit, and then post them in this thread! :thumbsup:

I suppose just not using it requires less effort… :'(

Well Max the truth is yes it requires more effort, but i unfortunately just don't have the time to tinker anymore - something which I would normally do as well.

Even though i am not currently using it, i still admire your contribution, so Thank you very much! This work is very pleasing to me.!!

Just wanted to thank of this great OSX improvement. Thanks for the work you've done!

With the last version on OS 10.6 (last uptdate) and on a MacBook Pro 2009 15" :

The date and time in menubar are black =/ and it flashing...
The percentage "(xx%)" are in black too =(

Facebook Notification, GFXCardStatut and iStat Menu are not supported ?

Thank you !

Please read the instructions in the installer after you've installed the package. I recommend iStat Menus to make both the clock and battery readable.

Facebook notification is not included – this is why there is a template on the first page :thumbsup:

Hey,

registered for the forum just to say Thank you very much! This work is very pleasing to me. This is superb.

Could anyone explain how to do good menubar icons for this theme? I am comfortable in photoshop but suck when it comes to working with an image so small.

In case anyone has already made/is considering making:
-Caffeine
-Awaken
-Plex

They would all be very much appreciated... otherwise any hints from those that do make good looking menubar icons would be appreciated! (and if I make something that looks good, I'll post it on here)

Thanks again!

I would suggest making the icon shape in illustrator, paste as a shape in photoshop in the correct pixel dimensions. Then adjust the shape using the white arrow tool to make it crisp. Then paste the layer styling from my template (first page).

Glad it's appreciated :thumbsup:

Could someone fix this menubar apple logo color to fit this theme ,pls http://cl.ly/1K0M2m1Z0C1r0t2X1f08

Max, Thank you! This is great.
I'm a developer and very curious how this was done. I assume it's alterations to the CoreUI.frameworks. Am I wrong? I want to tinker

Can you post the battery file? That's the only file I need, Thank you very much! This work is very pleasing to me.!

Here is my contribution:

Caffeine | Codebox | Anxiety | Alarms (in that order)

Great theme! :thumbsup:

What about a light menu bar?

The time in the menu bar next to spotlight is black..... FAIL

You FAIL. It's already been discussed in the thread that you need to use iStat Menus in order to change the color of the time.

Max, this looks to be some awesome work, I've so far been trying my hand at lots of DIY theme work on SL and can appreciate the effort that goes into sorting this stuff out and making it available like you have. Thank you very much! This work is very pleasing to me. :thumbsup::cool:

Hello Max,

I just noticed that somehow the new Dropbox 1.1.35 broke the menubar symbols of yours included in the Aqua Extreme package. I don't know if they changed some icon names in the Dropbox app?

Anyhow, I tried deinstalling and installing Aqua Extreme a couple of times already to no avail.

Would be great if you got some time to look into this issue. Thanks a lot! :thumbsup:
