Thomas, please don't be disappointed. Your (after) screenshots looked decidedly cleaner and far more reminiscent of default R5 IMO. There is a (fairly) recent topic on the forum which discussed this very issue. The current Haiku window control widgets DO look grubby, this was agreed by a fair number of posters to that thread (myself indcluded).Thomas Winwood wrote: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. :PSomething pretty close to what's there (like I said, it needs a little tweaking) -- at least by default. Haiku will come with additional decorators. All of the add-on decorators are horribly broken, so I spent some time this morning hacking on the one to look like R5 and I should have it done pretty quickly when I get home from work thanks to a little build help from Ingo and Jerome. Once I have the decorators building again, I'll get the Appearance app at least up-and-running on a basic level so people can change the system colors and the current decorator. :-)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--DarkWyrm
I'm fairly sure that your skills and UI propensity (sp?) can be used to great advantage once we and the UI is just a little further down the line!
Your input is well recieved.
