Bowtie Themes

  • You may have heard about an incredible little application by 13Bold named Bowtie. Bowtie is essentially a desktop widget that runs in connection with iTunes to display whatever is currently playing in your iTunes library. If you have any familiarity with this app, you know that one unique aspect of Bowtie is that it allows for users to create their own themes. Due to the fact that Bowtie is open source, themes are often distributed at various locations rather than in one central hub. In an effort to help promote the many great Bowtie themes and ease your searching efforts, I have consolidated the Bowtie themes I have discovered into one convenient Tumblr blog. Enjoy!

    6 months ago Good News and Bad News

    Ok, so I have some good news and bad news for all of my followers. Some of it is both. I’ll start out with the bad news though. The bad news is that I rarely use Bowtie anymore and therefore rarely search for themes. Also, somehow Bowtie seems to have broken for me right now and I haven’t bothered uninstalling/reinstalling. Again, another deterrent for me.  And to add the final nail in the coffin I have found a new music site that I love more than anything. This is the good news. While it has already become hugely popular, Rdio is handsdown the best music streaming site I have found. It is the best value  for music streaming and I would highly recommend trying it out, even if you don’t end up paying for a subscription right away. 

    If you get where I am going, I’ll just say that itunes has not been getting a lot of use lately. Unfortunately, Bowtie is not compatible with Rdio. Therefore Bowtie is essentially dead to me. :( 

    Ok, maybe that wasn’t really good news…

    If a lot of you have already made the switch to paid music subscriptions like Rdio, Grooveshark, Pandora, etc. and still want to use Bowtie you should voice your opinion. Maybe we can have a little pow-wow with the creator and see if he can’t work some code magic.

    I have to admit this theme makes grungy looks sexy. The theme? Well no other than originally titled: Grungy! Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum  sollicitudin ante in augue tempus luctus id sit amet massa. Nullam vel  diam justo, sed auctor leo. Nulla non est orci. Aliquam laoreet  tincidunt felis sit amet aliquet. Mauris rutrum scelerisque velit in  tempus. Curabitur elementum felis non augue condimentum pellentesque.  Vestibulum congue, massa a vehicula pellentesque, erat arcu sagittis  magna, a aliquam lacus mi non turpis. Proin eget enim sed ligula  sollicitudin sagittis non eget odio. Praesent leo libero, consequat ac  mollis non, suscipit non nisl. Aenean id erat placerat enim bibendum  pharetra id in mi. Does anyone actually read my comments? 1 year ago

  • Kassette Tape gets an A for originality. There aren’t too many Cassette tape bowtie themes out there and this one has its own flavor. It’s not the sleekest theme I have seen, but it does the job and if old school tapes are your fancy this one might just do the trick. Click the image above for download. 1 year ago
