Aqua Extreme overview

Aqua Extreme... Mac OS X introduced a new GUI called Aqua. The initial Aqua interface had quite a different look from the Aqua we know today. Buttons had a more distinct 3D-appearance, with stronger gloss and heavier shadows. The 10.2 installment of OS X brought a more refined style with a flatter, more crisp button appearance. Almost every element had been refined, except for the scrollbars and progressbars which was overlooked. What\'s puzzling is that it has been continuously overlooked ever since. I first introduced my own refined scrollbars and progressbars for 10.2. I had a falling out and did not update them for Leopard. But now that Snow Leopard is here, still using the 10.0 style elements, I thought it was time to do something about it. This installer will replace the large and small versions of both the scrollbars and progressbars with ones that better match the appearance of the rest of the interface. They look flatter and more crisp and work with both the Blue and the Graphite appearance settings. If you decide you want to revert to the original Aqua style, please run the separate Restore Aqua installer.

This is one of the first things I install whenever I reinstall my system. It is oh so much easier on the eyes. Doesn't slow down my machine. Doesn't make my system buggy. Anything from Max I will trust to work right.

I love Aqua Extreme! I've installed & used it on my PPC G5 PowerMac running 10.5.8 without any issues at all. Installation is very user friendly (see below) and the theme comes with an uninstaller! Everything works like a charme... @ The developer: The theme and installation works just fine on my PPC based Mac. I understand, from within the installer readme's, that you where waiting for some feedback from PPC Macs. I've used it at my 'own risk' and never had any issue since then! Even 'Repair Permissions' is not necessary with this theme & installer. 99% of the themes I ever tried on my Macs 'Permissions Repair' was 'VERY' necessary (a very long list mostly...). This theme, the 1% in my case, takes care of that. Thank you for this great theme! A 5 star Theme from my point of view!!!

Hey Max, you were my themeing hero back in the day. You gave me the inspiration to hack my HIToolbox framework and get rid of all the brushed metal in 10.4. I'm glad to see you back. Have you seen the ileopard project? they unified leopard with the matte itunes look throughout the system although it doesn't work in 10.6. I was dreaming the other day that if someone like you involved they could get a really nice unified GUI in 10.6. Anyway thanks for all your GUI tweaks, the last 5 years would have been worse without them!
