#####NOTES#####

This theme is based on OSX Tiger Theme and Kougyoku. The icon theme is based on Mac4Lin.

This theme requires that you have the mac menubar applet (by AqD) or the new global menu.

Choose the one by AqD if you want the application title name next to the menu (the bolded text).

early version, i kno, but it needs some work, but very nice so far!

PS I would recommend not using firefox 2 for preview purposes ;) Switch to version 3 (under the "developers" tab) It used the proper GTK buttons and such among other things.
