An old school feeling to 10.11.3! Thanks so much to cDock developers and everyone.... click to image to see the whole! And look that indicators! <3

I used to go deviantart and look desktop screenshots all the time. Haven't seen many desktops like this since the Lion days, IIRC.

Yeap, you remember right. Happy that remind you these. Can't tell you how much I love the whole customization thing, and deviantart, was paradise, you could find epic shots coming again and again back in days. So many great, skilled and creative people sharing their stuff. But after the Snow Leop, with new uncustomizable dock and with apple making harder and harder to customize the UI, people stopped be so active, and here we are today, we are a few active. I just post from times to times when I have something I modified or made and want to share with the world. But they are few people to check it or comment. I am from the ones who feel shame that I was so young back then and wasn't part all of this. :( I wish things will do their cycle, os UI will change again, and some will come back from iOS customization to Desktop. Also, maybe the problem is that my generation are ****ed with social networks **** and don't give a **** about anything else, who knows. Anyway...

Just posted some stuff, and for first time I wrote to my journal, how to use old docks with cDock in 10.11. If you want check it.

Take care:)

I used to hang around a lot over at MacThemes... gone now. Was constantly theming until Yosemite, although using Flavours2.

Shame there's no longer a theme option for OSX.

As I wrote, shame that I didn't got the MacThemes feeling. WHen I start hanging around, macthemes cloesd after some months. Nowdays, theming is still possible, but not so easy, and you can't change everything. @allan.nyholm (his devianart) is the only one who spent hours making themes and sharing them with us. I really really like Dark Theme.
I playing from times to times with ThemeEngine, but not even close with Allan work.

That's super... Allan has done some great themes for Flavours... I will continue on Yosemite until a viable theme option for El Cap is available.

Everything he is making is for El Capitan. You just replace some .car files. :)

Certainly like the good old days :) I hope that it's possible to start a-new with a MacThemes-like forum for all things OS X customization. The UI Customization sub forum on this site could use a dedicated OS X section for such things. Because right now it's iOS all the time - mostly. There's a different MacThemes forum around that has some people talking theming but that it's a bit inactive lately. What to do!?

Yes on that... Love your comma22 shot Gerrit... I love Aqua graphite... gone forever?
Well, Graphite became greenish somewhere along the line and now we're stuck with plain grey. So yes, gone forever if you ask me. BTW thanks for the like ;-)
