[openbeos] Re: Haiku Icon set ...

Sorry for being silent for so long ... ;)

One thing I'm not and that's a thing most people know by now is a dev ... I 
only know a 'litle' bit how to create some nice icons. 
I don't have a prob with converting icons over in another format, even if 
that is in HVIF, to bad that there isn't a plugin for this in the latest 
Wonderbrush 2.1. I'm not a great artist in IconOMatic yet (as I love 
WonderBrush to much) but a plugin or translator for HVIF could be helpfull in 
this case to create Haiku ready icons.
I'm still not sure how the icons are set in Haiku (but then again it took me 
quite some time to figure that out in ZETA also), so some guidelines on how 
to change icons/decor in Haiku would be something to consider in the future. 
I'm planning to write some info in the near future to show people how this 
can be done in ZETA.

PS .. the theme I'm working on is based on a gnome theme used in ubuntu atm 
so it's not like I invented the light here. ;)

I hope Stephan could get some fix for this also, even if it is for some small 
update on the latest version for Wonderbrush so it could save icons to HVIF 
also (maybe a small sp?), on the other hand ... an import plugin for HVIF 
files for WonderBrush would be nice too ... ;).
