Hi,
The long awaited theme based on Apple Mac OSX interface is finally released. This theme is 6630 native and fully compatable with other S60 devices.
Visit the website at http://www.dakkustudios.co.uk and enjoy this theme.
Your feedback is much valued and welcomed.
Many thanks

It's cool : i Like the Battery and signal indicators and the Icon in the Main Menu but in the main menu there should be the "Aqua" Background. Cool also the Folder icon 😃
You have also to review some icons...... but it is a Nice theme
Thank you for the link and a comprehensive feedback mate. A few pointers:
* You should be able to read the text even in poor light conditions
* black text should ideally be on a light background to maintain a balance
* The "aqua" wallpaper is only ever used as a wallpaper as part of the Apple GUI
I tried various tints of the aqua wallaper as the main background and I have to say I was not impressed with the result!! It does not maintain the legendry "clean" look of Apple GUI
Cheers

Can't U use White Text on the Aqua background?
*In the theme in link i posted you can read the text , even in poor light conditions
*
* Yes But in 6630 is cooler with Aqua Background In Main Menu
you cannot change the colour of the text that get displayed in the menu grid. It always remains black.
I guess the background is a matter of taste, perhaps you can use the other theme with Aqua background!!
I think the theme is very good, looks better on the phone than in the screenshots. my only minor quibble is the clock, it'd be nice to have a funky background for the analogue clock. other than that, is great 😊
Very nice, love the alpha blended icons 😎
A few points though:
As Dany mentioned, it would be good to have something a bit less plain than the current grey menu background. How about using a lighter version of the wallpaper image, similar to the technique used in the MacNess theme?
A custom alpha blended analogue clock in keeping with the OSX UI would be excellent too.
Also, what is the name of the font used for the menu text? I assume it's the standard font used by OSX, but am not familiar with its name as I'm not a Mac person.
Once again, thanks for a quality theme with a great attention to detail. I was planning to sit down one day and make a thorough alpha blended S60 icon pack, but you beat me to it 😉
One other point; when viewed on the phone's screen, the wallpaper is one of the very few examples where the limitations of a 16-bit colour screen can be seen, with obvious banding. Looks like it's time to break Unmakesis and MBM Wizard out 😉

lovely.
I'd love to see more Linux style themes too. I love them.
