Paper was designed using the same basic dimensions as Platinum to avoid window positioning problems, but appearance themes are capable of supporting a wide array of window sizes and shapes. Next up for the ATP is a for-development appearance that will make it easier for aspiring theme authors to bring their own creations to life. In conjunction with the announcement of Paper, the ATP unveiled their new website today. With a nicer interface and a new layout, the website should boost interest in the project. It includes both completed themes and those that are still being developed.
Members can submit their themes and theme previews to be included in the site.
Also, a new development section will help coordinate work on the ATP's open source theme creation tool, Theme Machine. The site also serves as a download spot for the latest release of Theme Machine, and other theme-related programs and files. The Paper theme can be downloaded for free. It's a shame that this technology has basically lay dormant since the release of MacOS 8.5. There are only a few themes available out there, and Apple has kept their extra themes under tight wraps.
