EDIT: I added an installation guide on the same GitHub - please reach out there via an issue or in a message on MacRumors if a situation arises

moderators = unhappy with extra fluff

AquaLickX for Monterey on my GitHub if anyone wants it.. click the green button that says Code


No additional information other than what is read from the preview image there. Open an Issue if a situation arises.
I finally got menu bar graphics working properly without macOS getting super uptight about it. Luckily I got hints for that.

I will never ever forget the day that I first saw a Mac running system 10 "Aqua".
Had an appointment with an Architecture photographer and couldn't believe what I saw, while I was still on System 9.
Thanks for bringing back memories, Allan.

BTW, digging your theme's name

I really miss aqua, loved the scrollbar ribbles.

I think of all the aqua themes - Jaguar had the edge.

Yes, the first version may have been a bit too "lickable", while the brushed metal in later versions wasn't to my liking.

Going for the Mac OS X aesthetic. Used to an app called Old Menu Bar on the Mac App Store to give the menu bar a shadow and gradient like old OS X and installed Music Miniplayer by Mario Guzman to add the old iTunes mini player.

Coming sooner or later - Dark Mode is complete for the regular Aqua.. this brushed version is just an alternate version. The Menu bar is having a hard time.

I just love Mustangs.

THAT Mustang is a piece of art. I'll have one sometime.

I don’t use my Mac anymore, so can I substitute with my iPad instead?

The widgets normally show my Files (like pseudo-desktop file and folder icons), my email, and some other sensitive information, so I hid them for the photo.

Super basic Christmas Lapland travel-edition 😉

Given some of Apple Notes' limitations, I'm revisiting GoodNotes.
So now I can combine drawings, images, handwriting and more - all on one page.

I'm sure I had this last winter as well, but I really love iOS 8 vibes.
