Alexandria: a Yosemite Spotlight theme. It better than the others available here.

[chee]

I saw some other Yosemite's Spotlight-style themes but this one is closer.

 

Yosemite's Spotlight does a weird thing where it subtly blends the user's desktop background with the white, then applies a blurred opacity against whatever is currently behind it.

 

wtf, right?

 

closest we can get is

 

defaults write com.runningwithcrayons.Alfred-2 experimentalBlur -int 15

 

in the terminal (see and a theme like this.

 

Here is Yosemite spotlight:

 

 

 

 

 

And here Alexandria:

 

 

yay

It is called Alexandria for the sake of a convoluted backstory.

Looks great. Thanks very much!

Your colors are a bit off. If you want to get the real Yosemite colors, just go into the "Developer" tab, in the color tool. There you can get the correct blue and grey.

 

 

Here's what my version of yosemite theme is like:

 

alfred://theme/searchForegroundColor=rgba(0,0,0,1.00)&resultSubtextFontSize=1&searchSelectionForegroundColor=rgba(255,255,255,1.00)&separatorColor=rgba(0,0,0,0.00)&resultSelectedBackgroundColor=rgba(66,120,245,1.00)&shortcutColor=rgba(0,105,217,1.00)&scrollbarColor=rgba(170,170,170,1.00)&imageStyle=3&resultSubtextFont=Helvetica%20Neue&background=rgba(255,255,255,0.77)&shortcutFontSize=1&searchFontSize=3&resultSubtextColor=rgba(0,0,0,0.50)&searchBackgroundColor=rgba(0,0,0,0.00)&name=OS%20X%20Yosemite%20%28Light%20%26%20Blue%29&resultTextFontSize=2&resultSelectedSubtextColor=rgba(212,212,212,1.00)&shortcutSelectedColor=rgba(255,255,255,1.00)&widthSize=4&border=rgba(194,77,89,0.00)&resultTextFont=Helvetica%20Neue%20Light&resultTextColor=rgba(53,53,53,1.00)&cornerRoundness=3&searchFont=Helvetica%20Neue%20Light&searchPaddingSize=4&credits=Florian%20Pellet&searchSelectionBackgroundColor=rgba(66,120,245,1.00)&resultSelectedTextColor=rgba(255,255,255,1.00)&resultPaddingSize=2&shortcutFont=Helvetica%20Neue%20Light

a click on the link above does not open/download a theme suggested (with the "Alfred" installed). Or may be i just doing smth wrong?

thank you!

[Florian]

Yeah I don't know how this URL sharing is supposed to work exactly... Here's a proper DL link: http://cl.ly/3F330l3o2W0j

 Thank you! Probably it is the best theme for me that i've seen here.

Thank you!

[Florian]
