I've noticed with some admiration (and a bit of jealousy? :=) that the developer known as "edge" (who also frequents BeShare) has been quite a busy bee lately.

Most notable is the recent work on GTKBeEngine, a BeOS theme engine for GTK+, which allows changing the appearance for any GTK applications running in linux. Not necessarily usable on BeOS itself (yet), but important work nonetheless, that allows the "look & feel" of BeOS to be experienced by not yet converted BeOS users. *evil grin*

I just wanted a small time-out to personally thank edge for his hard work.

Other work by edge includes the porting of:

- GTK-Gnutella (peer to peer app)
- Exult Ultima7 (a classic rpg style game)
- Raptor (another classic shooter game)

and more.

Visit his developer profile and see what else he's done.

Cudos to everyone (including edge) who have continued to stick with BeOS over the years, despite the rough times. Here's a toast to our future.
