"Music with an evil grin" - this totally hits the bull's eye. I was so frustrated about the current techno scene in Middle Europe, I decided to come up with the dumbest artist name I could think of and make my sound so slow, that even the most extreme Minimal Techno-Hipster gets irritated. I loved to make the "Konterkonzept"-track and really - believe it or not - I had such an evil grin on my face while doing it. :-) Thank you very much for this review. It feels like someone really understood what I tried to make. :-) After three completely uninspired years and without any usable output, it seems I finally recovered motivation. :-) – and I instantly remembered this review about my interdisco-EP. “Music with an evil grin” – this totally hits the bull’s eye.

If you put them in a menu, they turn white when highlighted; on "rounded textured buttons," they automatically acquire an inset, shadowed, and gradient-ed appearance… and when the button is selected, they pop out shadowed-white for you! No setup required! I get all this and all I have to do is add “Template”? I want to run around the neighborhood screaming my delight!!!

You know that I am not exactly into 21st century technology but I really felt that I was there at the beach watching you fulfill a dream. And that's a really good thing!

It would be neat if a color tint could be added as an attribute to template images so you could get those more sophisticated effects on images other than black, but I understand it's part of the new(ish) aesthetic. @ken Thanks for the detailed info.

As a convenience, in applications linked on or after 10.5, any image read off of disk via -[NSImage imageNamed:] whose name ends in @"Template" will be marked as a template as it is created. This makes it easy to use template images in Interface Builder. Just make sure your image filenames end in "Template".' and yep, a template defined to be a mask, no color. If you want to use a red image, don't mark it as a template. 'This is extended in Leopard with a new metadata property, -[NSImage isTemplate]. An image is a 'template' if it is a black and clear mask that should not be presented to the user directly, but always processed into a final form. It's similar to a glyph in a font. If a cell is given a template image, it can perform much more sophisticated effects than usual, similar to those done with text. The image can be dark most of the time, white in a selected table view row, and engraved or embossed the same way text is.' The most complete documentation at the moment is in the AppKit release notes.

‘To mark an image as a template, call -[NSImage setTemplate:]. As a convenience, in applications linked on or after 10.5, any image read off of disk via -[NSImage imageNamed:] whose name ends in @”Template” will be marked as a template as it is created. This makes it easy to use template images in Interface Builder. Just make sure your image filenames end in “Template”.’
