This disappoints me somewhat - I was expecting Haiku to try and recreate BeOS R5 to the last detail. If we cared that it looked dated we wouldn't be using GCC 2.95.3. :P


Nonetheless, thanks for pointing me to those definitions.

Of course, this begs the question of what Haiku WILL look like by default. Surely not with washed-out gradient buttons in a grey box... :P

It's nice work. Really. :-) Just so you know, while it probably needs a few tweaks to look more professional, the default look for Haiku isn't going to be just like R5. A major part of what makes people say that R5 looks dated is the window decorator. However, I actually wrote a decorator specifically for looking like R5, so your patch would certainly be welcome for that.

You can find the definitions for tint_color and its ilk in src/kits/
interface/InterfaceDefs.cpp.

Now I have an excuse to update those decorators. Thanks!
