Gaia 2009 - Mac OS X Leopard version pictured
I haven’t been too interested in themes for Mac OS X in a long time, but this screenshot looks great. The first Gaia theme was also great.
I have no idea how they are accomplishing applying the theme in Leopard without a quality theme application program available for Leopard currently… (see Façade)
Rumor: Mac OS X Snow Leopard to have new theme
The new interface is code named ”Marble” and rumored to be similar to the non-glossy iTunes and iPhoto’s interfaces’. [macrumors.com]
BBX Omega Vaporware again in 2008!
I posted about the greatest Vaporware theme ever BBX Omega back in early Dec, it was supposedly finally being released before the end of 2008. It’s now 2009, no Omega and they haven’t even updated the description on their site yet.
In 2003… you saw a glimpse of what’s to come.
In 2008… you will experience William Bart’s Omega Hypersuite - a systemic, dark and futuristic transmutation of the Windows XP experience.
The world’s most graphically monumental, Windows XP makeover kit is launching Winter 2008. Are you ready for Omega?

Excuses in DeviantArt comments:
In the Northern hemisphere, winter is defined meteorologically as December, January, and February. So maybe its Winter 2009 instead?

Theme Updates:
1. Star Trek: The Original Series Hypersuite is almost done. Working on the transporter fx for the iTunes/WMP 11 Yahoo! Widget, some final icons and the wallpaper will be developed last.
2. Omega: Everyone has been so busy with Trek that Omega has been sidelined but will be finished shortly after Trek launches.
The almost mythical BBX Omega theme is finally being released for Windows XP?!
The theme was originally announced around early 2003 for the new ShapeShifter theme software for Mac OS X. William Bart a highly acclaimed Mac OS 9 theme designer and graphic artist was behind the design. BBX Omega teaser images were posted to message boards and quickly became hyped out of control by the MacNN GUI community.
William Bart failed to deliver the theme because of software limitations in ShapeShifter; fancy animation effects etc proved to be more challenging than expected for ShapeShifter’s developer. After about a year BBX Omega quickly became a vaporware joke and William Bart cut his ties with the Mac GUI community sites like the now well established MacThemes.
William Bart has done lots of paid work on promotional Windows themes so his decision to finally release his work on BBX Omega for Windows isn’t a surprise. Mac OS X Leopard also currently lacks an established method of supporting themes. (See Façade)
The classic BBX Mercury was ported from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS 10.3 ShapeSifter by Max Rudberg in early 2004 and was maintained until early 2005.
