Yup, this is absolutely sensational - flawless in fact, with updates every few weeks.

Hats off to Jan!

Wow, that theme looks rather sleek! ;)
I would use a slightly darker colour for the 'selected window fill' pen however, to give a closer match with the bottom of the window title.  

Having said that, doing so may ruin the 3D look as you effectively lose your 'shadow' pen.  Perhaps a lighter gradient in the window title would be a better choice?

Colin Camper, cheers, thank you for the feedback.  Yes, AIAB was reasonably popular a few years ago, but beyond my personal experimental updates, I don't really spend much time maintaining the package any more.  Regarding your other question, I am currently working for KAWAI.

Take care,
James

Looking good Ken! ;)

Actually, I was trying to suggest fading the titlebar gradients from light gray to the dark-gray that is being used for the rest of the window border - so that there is no visible difference in colour.

Gosh, this reminds me of the fun I had in PPaint designing (remaking) the OS4 theme.  Going back a couple of years...

Cheers,
James

EDIT: Here you go! (pardon my one minute Photoshop effort)



Unfortunately, as I expected, 'Brown Chrome' doesn't look (nor sound!) quite as snazzy as black.
