Hi everyone,
Maybe it's just me, but I think the Haiku decor looks *much* better than that of
R5. It has a cleaner, more elegant feel to it. The difference also helps
distinguish Haiku from BeOS, if ever so slightly. Just my two cents.
Still, Thomas, it's great work and it's neat to have the R5 look for Haiku. :)
Regards,
Jonathon
