The best way to describe this theme is to imagine a glass full of that white, slightly creamy, opaque liquid that goes well with chocolate chip cookies. Take that analogy a bit further. Milk is a good theme on its own, but requires darker, contrasting elements to make it usable. Does Max provide chocolate chip cookies with his Milk? Absolutely.

In the pre-Candybar era, system icon replacement used to be a pain, if not almost impossible. The applications or two that existed back then were usually buggy, ugly, and were thus largely unsupported. Today, however, system icons have become a large part of your OS X customization, largely thanks to this little app that could.

Though FatalE's flat, angular design might reek of Windows rather than the gooey terrain of Aqua, Carbon's port marries the look successfully to OS X. Yes, FatalE is actually a port of a theme for Windows, originally created by KoL. However, Carbon's theme goes beyond a simple port, and comes out looking better than the original theme.

There is no doubt that the release of Konfabulator was one of the Mac community's most anticipated. The mysterious product gave way to speculation, criticism, and confirmations that it was indeed the best OS X software ever before its unveil. Has it lived up to its expectations? Is it everything we wanted it to be?

Aluminum Alloy may simply be Max's most creative, unique, and beautiful creation. Unlike his many ports, (even EYLO was loosely based on an in-game interface) A.A. is original and fresh. The poisonously bright gels and the sterile metal work surprisingly well together, and combined with top notch extras, A.A. is a theme to covet.
