Wow! Very Co-Pilotesque, and similar in idea to ProLCD, which also uses LCD's within its windows. I love the mix of metal, black rubber, and LCD, and this could turn into a great theme I think. Good job!

Quite impressive mockup. A little bit of inconsistency between the elements, I like the style of the srollbar the best. I also thought of Co-Pilot when I saw it. Needs work but has potential.

I totally dig the rubber/metal look... very sleek industrial. I want to see an icon set!

Wow, that is really cool. I like it very much so. It has a really sleek look to it that really separates it from the rest.

Co-Pilot rehashed? Too bad nobody did a mockup of ByCrom! (Where is Albie Wong!!?)
The LCD color in this mockup (tab 2 button) is much nicer and more pleasing to the eye than the yellowish LCD color in Pro LCD...but this mockup seems to lack the consistency throughout that Pro LCD has.

Cool theme and variations for next step would be to add some candy colors

Lots of inconsistency in this the elements, but I think there is an audience for this theme. Some spit and polish will do it good.

I have to agree with everyone else: pretty cool, but pretty inconsistent. The bluish grey windows don't do it for me either, and this is yet another mockup where aqua and metal windows look the same.
Selected menubar item is purty, though.

Andrew, don't mind Dace. He imagines that every theme is derived from one of his mockups. Just read the MacNN forums when you get a chance. Very nice theme and it looks NOTHING like Dace's mockup. Brilliant mate!

Excuse me, but I never made a comment about this mock-up. I only commented on Pro LCD...so speak for yourself. Yes, this mock-up feels like Co-Pilot...but not my rendition, more like the original one. Never the less, I find this mock-up to be more original than Pro LCD.
And I don't think that every theme that comes out is derived from my mock-ups. The only mock-up I ever mention looked similar to one of my mock-ups is Pro LCD.

This is a nice theme, however the maximize button is an X while the close button has no marking. This would confuse the crap out of me, although I usually don't look at which control I am hitting.

Yeah, I was thinking that might throw a few people off on the mockup, I had put those in to display the different buttons I was thinking of using. It may all be reworked in the end anyways, I have things I want to fix and change as per some suggestions. Who knows if it'll see the light of day as a theme though.
