Mac OS Theme

Nothing like a spot of retro, chunky-grade pixellated graphics to evoke some serious nostalgia, eh?

  1. Perfect !

  • It borks in opera :(

  • Ian Stewart Says:

    That error-bomb in the footer freaks me out but at least it’s not the “sad mac”.

  • Xeph Says:

    what a great theme!

  • John P. Says:

    Awesome theme. Love the footer!

  • Robert Says:

    Definatly a great theme, keep up the good work !

  • Marie-Aude Says:

    OMG !!! What a pleasure :)

  • leo Says:

    I’m not sure “nostalgia” is the right word, but it’s certainly blown me away.

  • wayne Says:

    So amazing…

  • Daniel Says:

    Can you specify Geneva for small body text in the css?

  • John Says:

    really lovely, and some how much easier to read too!
    Jay.

  • Björn Says:

    Fantastic theme!

  • Martin Says:

    Slick!.
    Love the colorscheme!

  • Bartosz Olchówka Says:

    Very nice, but the sidebar icons should be clickable, not just their labels.

  • Jonathan Wight Says:

    Beautiful, just beautiful.

  • Not Paul Says:

    The high-water mark for Mac interfaces!

  • WOPR Says:

    Awesome stuff!! Really takes me back to the classic days of Mac OS.

  • Henriok Says:

    Amazing! The only thing missing is fonts that isn’t anti aliased!

  • running Says:

    Wow, great one!

  • Alancito Says:

    There’s also a modern version: “iTheme” here:

    …and you can see the theme in action here where you can drag and drop the right-hand panels to reorder them:

  • fime Says:

    this thing is awesome. im just firing up prince of persia

  • Wolfie Says:

    That dotted background is murder on the eyes! I’m seeing all sorts of things, man.

  • Johan Morris Says:

    Well done !!!

  • maique Says:

    this is TOO cool.
    i wished this theme was available at wordpress.com, since i no longer host my own wordpress blog…

    congratulations, looks great.

  • JaBB Says:

    Very nice - but there seems to be still a bug when using Opera browser. Maybe you can have a look on this issue. :)

  • Ian Moffatt Says:

    Hello!

  • Ian Moffatt Says:

    Hello again ;-)

  • Alan Says:

    Ah! The background! It blinks at me!

  • Jonathan Says:

    Wicked, I love it!

  • Zaren Says:

    This is so cool. I’m tempted to start up a wordpress blog just so I can use this theme :)

  • Andrew Ferguson Says:

    This is a really unique blog theme. I’m not sure I could deal with it on a regular basis, but it really reminds me of working with ancient macs :)

  • Zacharias Says:

    Doesn’t render worth a heck on IE 6, BTW. Stupid work browser

  • Christopher Humphries Says:

    Brilliant!

    This comment page is broken though…

  • Arlo Says:

    Very nicely done, but the graphical elements would look better at 1:1 size, not blown up.

  • jimmy Says:

    These checks are annoying moi.

  • Andy Says:

    Damn, I wish I had thought of this. Great job.

  • Thomas Thomassen Says:

    This is brilliant theme!
    I like the bomb at the bottom. I reminds me of when I studied advertising at school and we had these really old Macs. OS6, or 7 or something like that. I remember backing away from teh computer slightly the first time it crashed and displayed the bomb icons with a count down timer along with the error message. Not a comforting sign, hehe.

  • Leo CG Says:

    Beautiful!

  • Bryce Says:

    This makes me very happy. Takes me back to my freshman-year college days. Good job! :-)

  • Jennifer Navarrete Says:

    OMG! This made me laugh so hard. We’ve come a long way baby!

  • safari Says:

    Horrible :/

  • Finder Says:

    ERROR: Segmentation Fault.

  • idj Says:

    I feel ill and awed.
    You’re a sicko but a clever sicko.

    nice one

  • g Says:

    Hi, nice theme :D

    How can I avoid the sidebar going to the bottom in IExplorer?

    Thanks! :)

  • Jessica Says:

    This is a very cool theme. Mac rules!

  • boon Says:

    Oh wow, just like in real life!

  • Forums Blogs Wikis Says:

    Retro Mac WordPress theme…

    Stuart Brown has released a WordPress theme called Retro MacOS. I’ll admit that I grew up in DOS so this one doesn’t have quite the nostalgic kick that it may for others, but it’s still pretty cool.

    ……

  • Brandon Says:

    I love this. I use Wordpress and am pretty sure I am instlling this now.

  • Patrick Says:

    This is so awesome!

  • Kevin Says:

    Yeah it’s pretty accurate, good job!

  • mike Says:

    whoa- when i scroll the checkerbox background makes me ill.

    but, well done!

  • flyguy Says:

    macs suck!

  • tripp Says:

    Wow, I love this!

  • Kahlnen Says:

    I’d hit it.

  • Simon Says:

    Wow, it evens flickers when you scroll, just like the real thing. THAT’s attention to detail!

  • Sparkle Says:

    I love the way you styled it! Great job :^)

  • Dez Blanchfield Says:

    Rock on!

    this is simply insanely great! I have been using (check my homepage below) a pretty nifty Aqua look a like theme that has neat Ajax “drag and drop” features for page objects (seriously, drag and drop in a web page, go check it out on my home page!).

    But as someone who has on their list of things to do before I die to “write a book on my Mac Plus” (it’s painted canary yellow by the way), this theme is now a “must have” for my personal blog ;-)

    Keep up the great work - can’t wait to see what you guys create / come up with, next!

    Cheers,

    Dez

  • richard Says:

    Oh my god. Flashbacks. Hardcore.

    This is quite possibly one of the coolest themes I have ever seen.

    Would be interested to see what impact a full-color JPEG would have in one of your posts :-) Would be a creepy blend of retro and contemporary.

  • Clara Says:

    Moof!

  • Damon Says:

    ah the memories….

  • Setiotis Says:

    Sweet.

  • Dave Says:

    amazing.

  • Jamie Says:

    Fantastic.. Hurts the eyes a bit ;)

  • lidong Says:

    wonderful!
    A little hash to the eye however

  • Mike Says:

    It’s a shame that only there’re only text links. It would make sense to make the icon a link too.

  • Schröder Says:

    wow!

  • Daily Pimp Says:

    This is the coolest wordpress theme that I’ve seen in a long time.

    spiffy

  • MY EYES Says:

    The pixels, they hurt!

  • Gregory Says:

  • matt Says:

    wow, this is fantastic!

  • Luis Gomez Says:

    Brings back memories.

  • brad Says:

    LOL This is amazing. Kudos ++ Digg

  • Erica Says:

    It’s so great that you included the bomb icon too.

    Oh no! My blog crashed!

  • danny Says:

    The Icons should be clickable for your links, also use javascript to make them “doubleclick” instead of “singleclick”. Single click icons were not available in early Mac OS systems.

    Very cool though!

  • Anthony Says:

    haha, this is pretty cool!

  • Ian T. McFarland Says:

    I love you.

  • huoi Says:

    absolute nostalgia, to put it in few words. Remarkable attention to detail, even the “balloons” are taken care of. Bravo!

  • Chris Says:

    SO HOT!!! This totally rules!!!!!!!

  • CapitalD Says:

    You should add a little script to subtract 20 years from any dates (like the folder on the right and the post/comments)

  • Jesse Says:

    I like it! But for me, I’d need a splash of color here and there, I’d get sick of black and white after a while.

  • Jeremy Pavleck Says:

    Wow, now this is a theme I might have to try out, I love it!

  • mingistech Says:

    This is fuking sweet!

    Well the anti-aliasing on my fonts and inconsistent pixel size makes it a bit off. But still very close to perfect!!

  • Duane Bailey Says:

    Beautiful!

  • offensive_jerk Says:

  • woooooooooaaaaaa Says:
