Try and see if this Monet theme works for you. Remember I haven't bothered to set it up properly for anything other than the Consolidated Window . If people want other Themes I will tidy them up for all uses.

And my Green theme - much more workable than Lettuga Gustosissima.

I re-iterate these are for my own use and enjoyment and to show what people can do themselves using their own ideas. Everyone should purchase at least one of Andy's themes at AMPGUIMODS as he started this and made MOTU think about themes and thereby making them customisable. Its easy enough now - it wasn't when Andy started it as he had to make that first scary step to alter the original app code. So support Andy please.

I find it interesting as a mixture of elements from different backgrounds is recognized.
Either way, the more we advance, the more progress is difficult, but looks a little something for example.
You know now archive a Theme for it and Downloadable you able to share your work .

The marriage of some items is more or less successful: different from one feels. We'll have you come to build a Theme from beginning to end, myself, there are still some things I don't know . 8)

Hey Corbo Billy - how do you color the DP Window bar? The one that has the three buttons at the top left and the title of the Project (and the Preferences window as well).

I notice some of your schemes have this as a customised color scheme (as do other schemes) but I don't know how to change this color. I have looked on the Style.xml as well as all the png files in Resources - but don't seem to have much luck. It is not a uniform color all the way down which makes me think that it is being affected somewhere for this subtle shading. Your help would be much appreciated!

If I understand correctly, there is a line in the xml file:. Line is being called "kWindowFrameTint" if we are talking about the same thing.
I did actually varies on three Themes only .

Thanks - it doesn't seem to be that one - some of the dark themes have a dark document window frame - you have a theme called Trick Green that has a greenish window frame. But thanks for trying to help.

Yes, I did the same on the theme "Tick Yellow" with a yellow frame .
I look in more detail because I did not have DP opened last night in my previous answer .

It's necessary after changing this line, ("kWindowFrameTint") in the xml file .. stop D.P. then restart it, to see the changes . :)

If the line does not exist, there must create this line in the .xml File simply .

In more general work, a little easy modification of the Welcome window _ :)

This picture is in another folder for Theme: you must right-click on the D.P. icon in the Applications folder and take the option "Show Package Contents".
Once the file available, follow this path: Contents / Resources / English.lproj / Welcome / images.
Then you find the image "startup screen-bg" and there can modify according to your wishes: but this change is global and does not correspond to one Theme so be careful _ Keep the original before . 8)
