Hi,
this seems to be my last hope.
I searched at least half an eternity for a usable NeXTSTEP skin. A real one, with this kind of retro look. And in case such a thing does not exist, an OPENSTEP theme would do just fine.
The only real thing i found is tin_omens STEP theme. Well, unfortunately, he made the last update for that theme around December 1998! :( See here:

Anyone got an idea?
TIA and sorry if this qestion was already asked a thounsand times, althoug i couldn´t find any result via "search".

That´s nice! The BrushedNeXT by dreamer, right?
Actually, i did looked very far. Seems that i don´t get something here... i can´t find a single usabledownload location for the theme. I found only one sigle location, and that seems to be a modified version of it, as there are some, uh, completely messed up menu´s and fonts in it, among other things.
Where did you got it from?

Thanks in advance.

I got it from my hard drive. :) dreamer gave it to me long ago to beta for him and I have just tweaked it ever since. Its now OTS all around and tweaked to near perfection. :p Now maybe when I like it I will ask Dave for permission to release it again.

Arrgh. That hurts. :) ;) :D
Now if you could pleeease ask dreamer to release it again inclusive your modifications, that would be AWESOME. There will be at least one person who will download the theme, for sure. :)

TIA
