Steve's stuff is pretty neat, and worth a careful look.
I noted that his reworking of the "appearances" menu does not include all the elements of the 2.8a menu (particularly the system fonts), but otherwise it appears to run nicely.
Thanks for the nice words.
I probably busted something then in the appearance menu since it was not intended that something be left out.
I'm currently working on the following changes: from the release notes 31-Jan-2000 Designed the forms loader stuff. Added methods to test if everything was loaded. This test can be used to dynamically enable a skin selection menu. Added Swing Steel skin to demonstrate how to add a skin having dynamic title bar buttons and provide some interesting title bar texture support.
30-Jan-2000 Changed the dynamic icons and how they were used to follow the conventional morphic event handler scheme of #on:send:to:. This change allowed the easy behavior enhancement in Aqua to cause all 3 of the control buttons on the left side of the window to highlight at once (as defined by the model or skin).
The directory structure of how the skins are saved will be a bit different and easier to install and extend.
I may even write some instructions on how to extend and write your own skins. Following the Swing Steel example could be pretty helpful.
Please wait for my next update. Also, apparently some folks have written that Netscape does not handle the spaces in file names which are on the web site. I'm using IE and didn't notice. I'll see if a ZIP kit will be possible.
