xVISHUx Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Alright, I'm sure a bunch of you guys know me from my ?unreleased? ports. Well, I decided to try to do an original theme in StyleBuilder for once, so that I wouldn?t have to worry about getting permission and the whole public can enjoy it. All the graphics were made by me and this is the first time I?ve tried to do an original theme. This is supposed to be a Fisher Price Dark theme, if there is such a thing. On to the theme, the .rar file includes 10 Obsidian Icons, a Y?z Dock theme, 2 substyles (smooth and gloss) an 3 Obsidian Wallpapers. If I get a good response I?ll improve upon it and add some new stuff. Expect a shell style very soon. This goes best with the Somatic Styler Toolbar, since Styler has been released I haven't bothered making a y'z toolbar for it. The fonts needed are HandleGotD and HandleGotDLig. The visual Style can be obtained here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15590515/ MacTheme Mockup for it: Thanks ahead for the feedback and the downloads.

BeyondGodlike Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 its nice and cartoony but the darkness would destroy a few of my apps Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/290952-release-obsidian/#findComment-585544007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

frease Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 i agree it is a little too dark. Perhaps you can consider making a lighter colored version? Keep up the good work :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/290952-release-obsidian/#findComment-585544149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rschultz2002 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I like the color but for that color I think it needs to be a flat theme. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/290952-release-obsidian/#findComment-585544417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vip Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 looks ok, but when i think of Obsidian, i think of the glossy black that obsidian really is ... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/290952-release-obsidian/#findComment-585544784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xVISHUx Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 It seems as if the ObsidianSmooth substyle doesn't work, but the Obsidian3 substyle is the exact same thing.

matt0 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 lol@ insanely huge sig text. Nice style man, kinda simplistic, makes me think of that valkyre guy's simplicia VS with a more cartooney effect. No doubt someone will use this =] Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/290952-release-obsidian/#findComment-585562663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVISHUx Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Found this on an unused section of my hard drive, lol, so I just made some minor edits to the Styler theme for this. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/15623292/ I tried to use it, but I don't even like this theme anymore. I'll try a long delayed second attempt at an original VS soon, as soon as I download Stylebuilder. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/290952-release-obsidian/#findComment-587505354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
