K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
K-meleon being my first delve into the alternative browser scene I'm quite impressed. Quick D/L on a shitty connection, pages loading faster, easy to customize. I like it. My only suggestion would be to strip it down further and perhaps hold a logo design contest (no offense, but the current logo reminds me of cleaning fish as a youngin).
That's a great idea!
I'm an artist and am not impressed with the logo either.
I'd also like to suggest an easier way to implement skins ... instead of having to use zip files. On certain other applications, e.g., the music software, you can just click on a skin that you fancy, download it, click on the downloaded skin and, emidiately, your programe is transformed into that particular skin -- great for computer dummies such as myself!

yeah.. that would be a great idea.. also to implement sth to make translations easier..
actually all the developers are working on the structure of the browser... i mean.. these are minor matters (however, if someone wants to write an app or simply modify km source code and implement this feature...
: only if you have a stable, fast and working browser you can implement skins... isn't it?
as far as the logo is concerned, I think (but I'm not sure) it is gecko's logo... I don't think it's too bad (but i'm not an artist at all !)

I'd just like to say thankyou for making this genuine freeware! I was using Opera before , but after running them side by side for awhile, have K-Meleon as the only browser installed on my system. Following previous comments, I have to say that I'm not too concerned with skins. Speed and stability count more, it is a little more attractive than the basic IE look though. Thankyou very much!
i don't think anyone is too concerned with skins... at least, nobody who's likely to DO anything about it. there was some talk in one of these threads about making a skinning format with superpimp or something, but it's really not the primary concern of anyone working on the browser. k-meleon isn't really 'skinnable' in the sense of winamp or something, so using that term might be confusing the issue a little. that said, it is highly configurable, toolbar-wise, and i'm working on a fairly comprehensive doc that will hopefully make this possible for anyone to take advantage of... knock on wood.
