Honestly - whole thing took about three hours (and three versions).

It was *easy* and the only reason why it took *that* long was because I hadn't used PhotoShop in years and couldn't remember the basics like cut-n-clear, transparency settings and choosing colours (and I had dinner in the middle).

Once I reaquainted myself with PhotoShop and fired up ThemeMaker, it was two boxes cleared, the radio box cleared and the station bar cleared and a light grey colour added at 20%-ish transparency, a couple of fun colour setting changes just for the heck of it and that was that.

Then another 40 minutes total spent saving, loading and testing a couple of versions since I don't have a Mac emulator.

But now I'm wondering if *my* version seems different from the .deb version people may be using... .

When I'm in the mood for a light background, I'll have to use ThemeMaker again and create something like a NiceDark theme.

Unless someone else gets to it first

Now... get someone with a background in graphics or illustration... who knows good colour combos... and that's when the real fun can begin. Me? I don't go beyond "um... this blue is pretty. Maybe with... orange?"
