Better Brushed

Derived from the theme "Brushed Times" by Nuno Grilo.

Heavily inspired by previous Mac OS X brushed versions of Finder while conserving similar current design qualities. Created and tweaked by a huge Apple fan.

What happens when you mix both themes, Better Brushed and Blu? Look up Brushed Blu to find out :)

OR, what happens when metal and rock clash? Geode! A new theme!
