Crystal Clear Description

A Mac OS X theme for ShapeShifter. Crystal Clear is a Mac OS X theme for ShapeShifter. Here are some key features of "Crystal Clear": · Manages overall window transparency (as SetAlphaValue did), plus adds separate transparency settings to window backgrounds and background colors of "views" (subcomponents of windows). · Replaces the default window "frames" of Mac OS X Aqua with transparent ones that more or less reproduce the look of windows in the ShapeShifter version of Crystal Clear. · The Preferences pane has been redesigned with an eye toward expanding the number of settings users can control. Initially, it adds three controls: One for customizing the background color of application windows, one for customizing the background color of "column view" views, and one for customizing the text color in certain menus (only relevant when you're running ShapeShifter and using a "dark" theme). · A new tab introduces a control for window animations and for SAM (single application mode). This tab also has an option that lets you move the Crystal Clear menu item from the main menu to the application menu. · Panels (such as the color and font panels) are designed with the "HUD" look that's become popular in Apple's software lately. Sheets are designed in a light blue, and "alert" panels appear in a gold color. The structure is in place to allow users to customize the color settings for both of these kinds of window objects. · Most windows in Crystal Clear are rendered with a "shine" overlay that looks really cool. The shine resizes itself with its window and disposes of itself when the window is closed. Again, I plan eventually to let users turn the shine on and off, and also to select from a few other shine "styles." · This version has a routine that changes the background text color from black to white in "panel" windows that are by default set in a dark translucent color. Customizing the text color contrast in this way is key to making windows of variable color and transparency readable. The plan is to develop another function that would serve more generic situations by using other kinds of windows. Requirements: · ShapeShifter
