Get a feel for the Dark
- Google Chrome Canary's Incognito Mode is a quick and easy way to see how an all-dark OS X window looks.
What's inside?
- themeKey.md A markdown file that keeps track of which asset in a .car file corresponds to which UI element in OS X (still in-progress).
- OS X Theming A Sketch project for experimenting with colors using OS X UI mockups (still in progress).
- DarkSystemAppearance.car Hopefully the world's first complete dark theme for OS X (still in progress).
- ColorfulSystemAppearance.car Each asset has a unique color, used to visually distinguish invidual components in OS X (still in progress).
How can I help?
- themeKey.md Figuring out what all the assets in SystemAppearance.car correspond to is Goal #1. We can't make a complete theme without knowing which assets correspond to which UI elements in OS X. As far as we know, the only way to figure it all out is by trial and error by changing asset colors in ThemeEngine and restarting apps/Finder (killall Finder in Terminal) to see what changes. Just follow the format of themeKey.md!
Tips
- If you have the means, tweak themes with a spare Mac/Hackintosh. This way you can keep SIP enabled and should you mess something up, it's not a huge deal. NOTE: OS X VMs don't have hardware acceleration, and therefore Cocoa won't have transparency effects.
