Dark style in Cocoa?

I've seen a lot of apps with a dark style lately, not only high-end commercial ones, but also smaller apps from independent developers. Is there a setting in Cocoa for turning an app dark, just like with the metallic dialogs look years ago? How do they achieve it?

Can I use stylesheets to create multiple button styles?

I am trying to create a custom look-and-feel within UIX to get it as close as possible to
our existing application's look-and-feel.
As part of this, I customized the UIX button by overriding the following named style:
ButtonServerText
and also by providing my own icons for:
buttonStart
buttonEnd
buttonTopBackground
buttonBottomBackground
The good news is that I was able to get the button component to look exactly like our existing
application buttons.
The bad news is that we have different types of buttons in our application
for different purposes. (i.e. the image used for the button can be completely different based on the context e.g.
yellow button for important actions and light-blue buttons for secondary actions)
It seems like there is no way in which I can use this stylesheet mechanism to create different types of buttons
and use them within my application. (sometimes different types of buttons can appear on the same page)
Please let me know if there is a way.
This is in fact a general question regarding overriding a stylesheet for customizing look-and-feel.
Lets say I customize the "contentContainer" component using the stylesheet. This change would then be global.
But I do want to have different types of contentContainers in the application. I would be forced to create my own custom
UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my own renderers.
(I know contentContainer does have the light, medium and dark styles. I used this just as an example.)
Please let me know what my options are.
Thanks,
Jayesh Kapoor

Hi Jayesh -
The good news is that I was able to get the button
component to look exactly like our existing
application buttons.Cool - I'm glad to hear you were able to get this working!
The bad news is that we have different types of
buttons in our applicationRight. This is a fundamental limitation of our look and feel customization functionality - we only support global customizations, not instance-specific customizations. I agree that there are many cases where instance-level customization would be useful, but this just instance supported yet.
The only solution that I can think of for your button dilemma would be to use static images. It's pretty easy to wire up an image to behave like a button - just embed the image in a link and use <fireAction> as the link's primaryClientAction.
Obviously, the downside of this approach is that you need to create the button images manually - which also isn't ideal if you are planning to translate your applications. One possible solution here might be to use UIX to pre-generate your button images. The idea would be to create custom LAFs for each style of button, then create a UIX page for each button style, including <button> instances for each translated value. Then, you could configure UIX to run in the desired look and feel, hit the corresponding page, and UIX will generate the required buttons into your image cache. Again, not ideal, but this might be easier than creating the buttons by hand.
This is in fact a general question regarding

But I do want to have different types of
contentContainers in the application. I would be
forced to create my own custom
UIX elements similar to contentContainer and write my
own renderers.Right - this is a generic problem. But for some components, like content containers, an easier solution might be to leverage UIX's templating mechanism. Remember, you can embed arbitrary HTML contents in a UIX page/template by setting the namespace to "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40". You can then reference these templates from your other UIX contents as if they were in fact UIX components. I'd recommend that you explore UIX's template support to see if this will meet your needs.

Toggle Light / Dark UIStatusBarStyle

Is it possible to toggle between the 2 styles while in an app ?
I am using the dark style.. however I have a fullscreen black window that opens up. I want to switch to the light theme when that window is opened.
Any guidance here is appreciated.

It is currently not possible to switch between the dark and light style at runtime. Kindly raise an enhancement request for the same.

Apple script to enable/disable dark menu bar and dock when sunsets/sunrises

Greetings,
Regarding the new dark menu bar and dock function in Yosemite. Would it be possible to write a script that would enable this function at a certain time say sunset and to disable it at another time say sunrise?
If so, is there anybody who could possibly help me write such a script or atlas point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance
G_D

Although you can set or remove the Dark interface style with defaults write syntax, the reset back to default (non-dark) interface will require a log-out/log-in cycle to entirely remove the Dark style. Toggling this style on and off in the System Preferences > General panel does not require the preceding log-out disruption. Unfortunately, other than possible GUI scripting, the Apple Script dictionary in Yosemite is very limited with respect to System Preferences access, and enabling/disabling the dark interface style.

Dw6 fluid grid layout

trying to make sense of the fluid grid layout.
can you use <div class> in fluid grid layout?
is it best to only insert divs using the fluid grid layout div?
when you insert a new fluid grid div what is the difference between entering a new line or not?
the html structure seems to be the same regardless of if you start a new line or not, am i wrong?
any help would be appreciated!

It's not my code, just rubbish I pulled out of the Bootstrap example sites....plenty more like that........ how about this beauty:

I thought we were talking about Bootstrap. No Bootstrap in the above.
<body class="html not-front not-logged-in no-sidebars page-node page-node- page-node-1172 node-type-static-page not-mobile region-content navbar-is-fixed-top" onunload="">
No Bootstrap here either.
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-4 col-md-offset-1 col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-1 col-xs-22 col-xs-offset-2 col-lg-offset-0">
Please allow me to explain. Bootstrap is based on 12 columns regardless of screen size. Translating the above we get the following for each of the screen sizes
large 3 cols offset 0
medium 4 cols offset 1
small 4 cols offset 1
extra small 22 cols offset 2
Our attention immediately falls on the extra small device with 22 columns that are 2 columns offset, total 24 columns. How can this be when there are only 12 columns available. Why would one have offset columns on the smallest screen size when we are already battling for real-estate. I think that if we make the classes believable we can safely ignore the classes for the extra small device. Continuing, we see the same number of columns for medium and small and the same offset. Being a mobile first approach, the classes that we assign to small will filter through to larger screen sizes making the classes for medium screen sizes ineffective. Looking at the 0 offset for large screen sizes?? Why do that when it is the default value. In other words, had Bootstrap been applied properly, the tag would look like
<div class="col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-1 col-lg-3">
The other two examples are even more ridiculous. Once again, I implore you to start learning Bootstrap and you will come to the conclusion that you are supplying us with gibberish.
I'm not supplying the gibberish it's the many websites that rely on frameworks, be they Bootstrap/Foundation/Wordpress - whatever rubbish they are using that I'm lifting this code from that are supplying it.
Take the Bootstrap form - every form input field I observe is wrapped in a <div> tag, why - it's bloated and redundant coding. Bootstrap, much like Wordpress was never invented to be used to build websites.
That IS my whole point - there are numerous examples of where Bootstrap IS NOT being used properly because people rely on something they no nothing about and end up with verbose class names splattered around all over their pages, bloated js and css scripts because they are the default files which come with Bootstrap.
<div class="col-sm-4 col-sm-offset-1 col-lg-3"> to me this is still nasty and overly complex 'class' mark-up. A page full of this tripe would drive me insane.
The very worst people you could advise to use Bootstrap are the people in this forum because most will have little knowledge of coding (that's why they turn to a framework) and end up with a page full of crap.
And I'm not verbalising you - you said it yourself. People use lots of 'short cuts' - it doesnt mean it's a good approach to take. No ones re-inventing the wheel apart from Bootstrap, who are obviously trying too. Media queries already exist to produce responsive design, learn how to implement them and free yourself from being entrapped by frameworks where you have to use their naming convention, their break points by default, their over bloated js and css files and somethimes rubbish html mark-up.

How to get murrine dust theme to work? (new concept theme for ubuntu)

hello!
i just want to try and install the new concept theme for ubuntu - DustTheme!
but i don't get it to work. it uses the murrine-engine - but when i want to select it via gtk-chtheme or gtk2_prefs it does not sets the colors or anything else. when i hit apply, the standard ugly gtk-theme will be selected.
anyone here who actually uses the theme?
more information:
DustTheme Ubuntu Wiki
installed packages:
gtk-engine-murrine 0.53.1
also tried: gtk-engine-murrine-svn rev 94
please help, thanks...

Hrm, I'm not quite sure what you mean. I don't see "profile" anywhere in the gtkrc - everything seems to be labeled as "style" already.

MinimalComps Accordion question

I'm making an application somewhat like a simplified photoshop app. I am using minimalcomps accordion component to make the layers list and have run into some difficulties.
What I want to do is have the accordion component with different heights depending on the content in each window. For example some layers might be a simple colour picker, and others could be text layers with more options. It seems that the accordion component uses uniform height for all windows.
I also have found when adding new windows using addWindowAt it seems to resize the whole accordion component. Originally it had a nice window area, but as soon as I add another window they all get resized to the minimum height
This is a cut down test case of my problem. I have 2 accordion components which are slightly different.
Note: you will need the font PF Ronda added to the project (users of minimal comps would already be familiar with this)

when i create the accordion component (initially the component starts with 2 windows in it) i just renamed them and added some content to it
after i call either addWindow() or addWindowAt() - it then resizes all windows to the minimum window height which looks to be the same as the title bars height.
I can see in the documentation all sorts of height and width settings, but for the life of me I cant work out which one affects the height of the individual accordion boxes. Any hints/help/code would be greatly appreciated.

GTK theme, FF buttons problem

Hello,
I recently moved to Macchiato gtk theme, which is very nice. Sadly it has a problem with Firefox/Thunderbird buttons that I'm unable to fix. Explained by images:
no mouse over button:
(if you look closer, you'll see that text is barely visible, but bg/fg colors are almost same)
mouse over button:
I tried playing with gtkrc, no luck. I'm using gtk-engine-murrine svn as of Feb 26.
Help please.
gtkrc for convenience

Hello,
I recently moved to Macchiato gtk theme, which is very nice. Sadly it has a problem with Firefox/Thunderbird buttons that I'm unable to fix. Explained by images:
no mouse over button:
(if you look closer, you'll see that text is barely visible, but bg/fg colors are almost same)
mouse over button:
I tried playing with gtkrc, no luck. I'm using gtk-engine-murrine svn as of Feb 26.
Help please.
gtkrc for convenience

How to make selections in Photoshop CS2???

Hello, I ran into a little issue doing this tutorial http://www.webdesign.org/web/photoshop/web-layout/dark-style-web-template.16864.html
In this tutorial it tells you in 2 different sections to make a selection i'm guessing with the marquee tool. The first is in the header section (which looks sorta triangular) and the second is the menu bar which they ask you to select the top half. In both request they tell you to fill in with white and then turn the opacity to 5%. Now to my knowledge when you use the marquee tool I have no clu how they made the marquee tool "hug" the graphic the way it does in the images in the tutorial. even in the second one it seems to cut the rounded rectangle in half but the marquee hugs the curves of the top half of the rounded rectangle. Plus when I do use the marquee tool and try to "fill" it won't let me. I had to use the rectangle marquee tool and "layer via copy" to cut the image in half then fill that in white and reduce the opacity to 5%. I seem to get the same result but I definetely feel that there's something i'm missing. In my Total Training dvd's I remember learning to use the left and right arrow key to tighten the marquee to an object but I believe that is in FireWorks. Is there some shortcut to do it in PS? Please Help!........ Very frustrated but very dedicated to learning web design.

for the first selection Ctrl+Click on the Vector Mask thumbnail to load it as a selection and then select the Polygonal Lasso Tool and set Subtract from Selection in the Options Bar and cut the first selection to get that. Same thing for the second one

Although you can set or remove the Dark interface style with defaults write syntax, the reset back to default (non-dark) interface will require a log-out/log-in cycle to entirely remove the Dark style. Toggling this style on and off in the System Preferences > General panel does not require the preceding log-out disruption. Unfortunately, other than possible GUI scripting, the Apple Script dictionary in Yosemite is very limited with respect to System Preferences access, and enabling/disabling the dark interface style.

DVShade Color Grading Plugin Update

Hello to all,
I've just updated the DVShade plugin, it now consists of one plugin, DVShade EasyLooks. This plugin is comparable to Magic Bullet Editors Looks but costs much much less. I have included some presets with it as well. Check out the site http://www.dvshade.com for more info.
I will also be launching a new plugin within the next month entitled DVShade Toon'In. This will give your digital videos a cartoon look a la Waking Life or A Scanner Darkly style.
Reflection V2 is still in the works, I have had to change it to the FxPlug API as the FXScript API is giving me less than stellar results. The good news is that it will be OpenGL accelerated and will work in Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express 4, and now Motion.
Thank you all for the support, and if anyone has a cool idea for a plugin, or is in dire need of one, feel free to forward it to me at [email protected] Anything I create for you will be freely available on my site so that everyone can benefit from it.
Thanks again,
Trevor Anderson

Just exactly what is it you're wanting to accomplish? FCP has an amazing variety of color tools contained within it's tool set, although not nearly as surgical as Shake.
Colorista II ain't worth the money to me as it's really no different than the 3Way with the exception that you can make power windows without layering. Boris also has some sort of new 3Way corrector that if I were to buy a plug, I'd most likely get over Colorista II.

Photoshop CS6: Dark user interface style [UI skin] like Premiere Pro or Lightroom?

For Photoshop CS6, how about add option to set a dark user interface style [UI skin] like Premiere Pro or Lightroom? It's very helpful to be able to work on images in a dark interface because it enhances our eyes' perception of color. Can this be possible in CS6?

Actually, there is some value in changing the background color.
Contrast of the image with surrounding gray values does affect your perception of tone and saturation in the image.
So you want to view the image with a surround that comes close to the value that the final result will be viewed in.
For print, that means a 50% gray or lighter surround (mimicking the world).
For video that means something darker but not really black.
And for movies you want a nearly black surround.
Unfortunately, OS controls/widgets aren't designed to do that. Premiere and AE managed it by creating all their own controls and not using OS controls.

Cocoa and notifications balloons.

Hi, there
Now I'm writing simple app which fetch data from my server. I want to show notification balloons like Gmail Notifier app (dark windows appeared at the top-right corner of screen). How I can do that in Cocoa?
PS. I know that I can use growl, but I wanna make really cool app, that doesn't require any third-party libraries (but can use them, if they are present).
PPS. I don't need compatibility with OSX < 10.5.
Thx for advice.
Best regards, Gleb M. Borisov.

You could try activating a HUD style palette when you want a notification and then have it close after a delay. A HUD palette has the appearance you're looking for. You could even get it to fade in and out.

MacBook Air Boots to OS, then screen goes dark.

I have recently been working on an older style (A1304) MacBook Air with the 128GB SSD. I've been working on Mac's for years, and have worked on hundreds, but this is the first time I've ever come across this particular issue.
Liquid damaged MacBook Air. Keyboard and Trackpad mainly took the brunt of the spill. Popped off the keys, cleaned it all up. Button for the trackpad no longer works, but everything else does. Entire computer was disassembled, no other liquid was found.
MacBook Air boots up normally, and I was using it for a few hours to make sure everything was working fine. Left it to charge. Came back two hours later, and the screen was dark (but the image was still visible, as if the backlight was not on). Could see the mouse pointer moving, but backlight won't come back on. Turned off computer, turned it back on. Backlight works just fine, and it boots to the OS. Within 10 seconds of booting to OS, the screen goes dark (screen goes completely black with no image). Couple seconds later, light on the front starts to "breathe" indicating it's sleeping. Wake it back up, and image appears on the screen, but no backlight. Then it "goes to sleep" again.
Boot computer to a Flash Drive with Snow Leopard Installer and once the blue screen comes on as if the installer is just about to pop up, it "goes to sleep" immediaetly. Though, the backlight and computer will stay on in the Apple Hardware Test for as long as I want. (ran it several times, "no trouble found". Also reset the PRAM, nothing helps.
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this. Completely baffled on whether it's a software or hardware (or combination of the both) issue I'm having.

The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer. The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof. It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components. If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it. Do the EXACT opposite. Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it. The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components. You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not. I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly.

How can I create a different hyperlink style for my footer only?

My footer is dark so the site hyperlink styles don't look good. I'm sure there must be a way to set footer specific hyperlink styles, but I cannot find out how to do it. Please help!
Thanks.

Thanks, Sanjit. Your answer brought me one step closer.
For anyone in future who is trying to find the answer to this question, here's what to do:
1. Go to Site Properties > Content tab. Click the "new link style" icon below the window.
2. Rename the style and then adjust the hyperlink properties.
3. Back on your page, create a hyperlink in the usual way, then click on the orange Hyperlinks beside the Add or filter links dropdown field to get the hyperlinks popup box. Go to the dropdrown field called Text Link Style and select your new style.
