PowerBookG4 Theme for Coppermine 1.3x v1.0 Donnoman@yahoo.com
I wanted to come up with a simple theme that would represent what Coppermine might look like as a native application on my Apple G4 Powerbook Notebook. Hence the name.
One peculiar aspect of this project is that despite my work's Apple G4 PowerBook being the inspiration; there were no actual Apple products involved with the production of this theme.
Adobe Photoshop 6.0: for Graphics Manipulation
TsWebEditor: Awesome Open Source text editor for PHP and HTML (

Frontpage 2002: WYSIAWYG (What you see is ALMOST what you get) HTML editing and layout.
All done on a PC running Windows XP.
Design Requirements:
Should attempt to replicate the look and feel of a PowerBookG4 running Coppermine as a native application.
Content shouldn't have to fight the theme for screen space.
Theme needs to be scalable for users of large and small monitors.
If it can't fit on the screen the user should be able to use the scrollbars to see 100% of the content.
Features:
I incorporated the tabbed browsing type of buttons for {MENU2} like Safari.
I like the lamps in the top left, (OSX Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons). (They do absolutely nothing... but look cool)
New gel like rating buttons.
All graphics in the powerbookg4 images directory with the exception of the tile.gif are original works by Donnoman@yahoo.com.
Credits:
The original theme.php, style.css, and tile.gif came from Rainy_Day from the distribution of Coppermine 1.32.
Sources:
In the interest of keeping the file size smaller, I'm not releasing the source .PSD's that were involved in the production of this theme. Email me if you feel you need them.
