Aqua. Aqua.

Is this possible?

Is this possible?

I would like to put the system buttons down the side of the frames instead of in the title bar. Is this possible? Also, would the buttons be hidden to people who have windowblinds set to not display the sides of the frames when maximized?

I intend to see for myself this evening, but I would appreciate it if someone already knows.

Doesn't Docking Station by Greenreaper have animated titlebar buttons? I thought he did it through a script.

I think this is the one Mercury is talking about. Also Light Wood (by me) had buttons that looked animated but changed to non animated when moused over.

Both use an animated titlebar to achieve the effect.

Toxic is exactly the skin I was talking about. If you pick that skin apart you'll see the "animation" is part of the title bar and the mouse over states of the buttons have transparency that allows you to see it. The only limiting factor is the frame rate is the same as what you choose for the title bar. The "animations" don't do anything except show through the transparency, the action is still defined by the button.

No that's not what I meant, I wanted the titlebar buttons to animate only on mouseover. I don't think it's possible yet.
I will go and hound Brad and the team to make it so.

I just downloaded Docking Station. The titlebar buttons are indeed animated. The animation doesn't appear to be in the buttons or the top frame.

Bryan, it can be done using WBscripting.
