Kevin "alazanto" Davis recently
commented in our forum that he has worked up a
nice theme for Mozilla Firefox, specifically to be used for the BeOS port.
Here is what he has to say on his work so far:
"At the moment, the theme will work on other platforms too, but I am very interested in making this a BeOS only, BeOS native theme. I just need the necessary hooks via NSTheme to bring more native widgets into play. If you have comments on how it can be improved, please let me know!
After hearing that the BeOS is getting more attention these days, I have been wanting to help out in any way I can. I will try to get my hands on a copy of Zeta to do further testing if need be.
In addition, I can contact Jon Hicks about exporting his icons to SVG (which should be easy since he used Illustrator). If all else, I could do the conversions myself.
I would also like to create a bitmap icon to fit in with R5. I don't know how to create BeOS icons, however, and would need help with that process, but I will try to make some headway in this direction tonight. Edit: done, see above.
lichtgestalt, if you would like to use this theme as a starting point, or even take parts of it for your own use, be my guest. Variants are all a part of a healthy ecosystem. Right now I have PSD files for the icons and everything embedded in the theme."
Kevin has written up a handy
install page showing the theme in action, where you can install the theme if you visit the page using Firefox, as well.
Thanks Kevin, for your hard work!
