15.1.2007Snow Leopard to bring a new 'marble' appearance?
Apple has always said that the new version of OS X dubbed "Snow Leopard" would be about performance gains and not new visuals. With that in mind it
has been circulating the web in resounding fashion that Apple will release a new theme for OS X when the product is launched. A mockup (below) gives
a possible rendering of what the new theme may look like. There is not much else to go on but when a story gets this big it generally means there is
some credibility behind the source. Keep your eyes peeled as it is expected that this theme will be unveiled anytime between now and the upcoming
WWDC.

The latest developer build of Chrome now includes an official option to install themes into Google Chrome. It was reported earlier this week by Neowin
that Google is preparing to launch a theme gallery. It looks like this has happened with the release of build 3.0.195.6. The option is offered under
"Personal Stuff" and has the option to "Get Themes". Pressing the button redirects you to a webpage, that shows a whole array of new themes for
Chrome. Applying the theme is as simple as pressing the "Apply Theme" button below the chosen theme, and a ".crx" file is downloaded. A restart
of Chrome is not required to apply the theme.

display said themes, though many suspected the obvious choice of an online gallery; now, however, TechCrunch is reporting that this has been all but
confirmed, with several themes already having been discovered. TechCrunch states that the themes will be available at this link, which has obviously
yet to go online, but you can already preview it if you have the very latest build of the Chrome browser.

Royale Noir: secret XP theme uncovered
Sometime after the launch of
XP, somewhere in Redmond,
someone on the Microsoft
design team was in the
progress of developing
something for Media Center. It
was believed to be too
powerful for public
consumption and forever
archived in the servers at 1
Microsoft
Way.
Devoted
Channel9 member W3bbo spotted
an interesting theme on one of
the people_ready television
commercials airing in the
States. After some dedicated
searching, he finally
uncovered this mystery XP
theme by Microsoft. W3bbo
writes,
"D
uring Royales development (the
XP Media Center theme), the
graphic artists also produced
a black version of the skin,
sans the overused glass
effect. The result is an
aesthetic black skin named
Royale Noir, it even works
with Office
2003.
Since the
skin was never released (or
reached final adjustments)
there are a few issues with
it: some of the colors dont
meet the overall feel (theyre
too purple-ish compared to the
greys of the bitmaps) and the
inactive titlebars are a
little too dark.

Snow Leopard: New Marble Interface?
With every release of OS X, like most operating systems, interface changes are constantly being made. Snow Leopard, Apple's upcoming operating
system, is yet to see any major UI changes in the currently available builds. However, a source has revealed a new theme that may be underway.
Recently leaked information states that Snow Leopard will use the Marble theme instead of Aqua. While not much is known about the new theme,
Marble is expected to consist of a flattened Aqua look and pick up some elements from iTunes and iPhoto, unifying the style across the operating
system.
Snow Leopard is expected to be released in this quarter.

Apple: "Windows 7 is still Windows, complex and expensive"
Apple has come out swinging, or at least Brian Croll, Vice President of Apple's Mac OS X worldwide product marketing has when it comes to the new

starting all the way back from Windows Me to NT to Vista and now Windows 7," he said. "As a result, I think people are looking for something
different, and the Mac offers real ease of use, stability and security." In his defense, Apple did just release their quarterly earnings which do

More Windows Vista Packaging and Disc

Also, it is our first peak at

I like what they've
done with the disc. The design
on the disc is unique and
fresh. Microsoft has adopted
pretty much the same looking
holographic CD/DVD's since
Windows 2000 and its nice to
see it be given a fresh new
look - which seems to be a

general.
