To all creators of skins and themes, I'd like to personally ask if it would be okay with each of you to post your skins and themes to deviantART. Credit will be given to each of you in the comments of each of the skins or themes.
I will not post these skins and themes without your permission, so I'd be very happy to receive a response from you. I would contact each of you personally, but I can't seem to find any way to contact you other than the forums.
The themes and skins will be posted under the K-Meleon group account. If you would prefer to post them with your own account, you can create one by clicking on the first link in this post which goes straight to the deviantART homepage. From there, simply click "Become a Deviant" to create a new deviantART account.
Thank you for reading.
I look forward to hearing from you all.

Brian

Brian,

I did not create any of the themes (skins), but there is one thing I would like to see happen. There are/were a lot of skins that were very much loved earlier on. Some of them need to be updated to add in some of the icons that are needed for Dorian, Fred and Hao's upgrades. Much as I love Phoenity and Klassic, there are others I like better. (Yes, your guess is correct....Early Blue!) But not just my favorite theme. Nautoplis for one and other newer ones that I haven't played enough with...YET!

As for posting, I would think that whenever the people who did the work are happy with how current their themes are they definitely should be posted.

N

Just to give me a rough idea of how out of date these older skins and themes you are speaking of are... icons for which functions are missing?
I could include which version(s) of K-Meleon the skins/themes work best with in the description when I post each skin/theme on deviantART.

Brian

For themes that are adapted (or, I suspect, plagiarized) from other people's work, you also need permission from the original author(s), unless of course their licenses permit redistribution.

By the way, there's a little theme there called "min", created by me (and Al., actually), to which I don't give you permission to redistribute in deviantART; it would be an insult to their community .

@rmn
Haha, that's fine. I don't mind being told not to redistribute any themes or skins. I simply want to make sure that I don't cause any problems by just posting them on deviantART without permission.

Brian

If you give me an idea of what needs to be updated then I'll do the updates to my themes myself (and Eyes-Only's as he passed his themes on to me).

Like rmn has mentioned, as some of the themes are based upon themes produced by other people, then permission may have to be sought to add them onto DeviatArt. I originally chased up permission from the author's (whereever necessary) eons ago in order to replicate the images and add them here on the K-Meleon Wiki. Chasing up more permissions may take some time.

Having said that there are a couple of my own original creations sitting there which I will give permission to be included if you want Brian. Mosaik, Warped, Java Duke and Crossover are all *original* theme creations by myself so pending whatever updates are needed then they will be OK to go onto DeviantArt.

@Al.
All of the themes which you listed seemed to be just fine the way they are. I don't see a reason why any of them would need any updates. Do you see anything that I may be missing?
By the way, would you for me to post both the 0.8.x AND 0.9.x or just the 0.9.x themes? I don't mind posting both, but if the 0.9 theme will work for 0.8.x versions, then I don't see much of a reason for me to post both. Also... for the 0.8.x versions, I saw that you had a "Bonus Pack". I think it would be a good idea to place all three versions of each theme on deviantART if the 0.9.x themes don't work for 0.8.x versions.

Brian

Maybe your right. I did make sure at the time when I was authoring the themes to make sure that enough toolbar icons were included to cover any additional functions which may have been added in by the user were included whenever possible. When I worked on Mosaik and Warped however I was limited with the source material that I had available as most of it was drawn from the original browser image sources, and back then browsers were a bit more simplistic in their intended function. Those themes may not be as expandable as the others.

As for including the v0.8 themes, sure they are as complete as they get. The Bonus Packs were an extra thing I did on a couple of themes back at the time, and they sort of extended the function of the browser with things like "Javascript On/Off, Toggle Images etc." *before* the days that such functions were included by default in v0.9.x and above. It was all a prelude to future K-Meleon development ideas in a way ;-)

So by all means add them all if you want. Also I'll give you a tip Brian. If you're finding it difficult to find a way to get in touch with the other theme authors, sometimes if you have a look at the header (or footer) in the toolbars.cfg file of the respective theme file, the author will most often have included their email address there.

@Al.
Thanks for the tip. I'm sure it will help me quite a bit. I should have those four themes posted to deviantART soon.

Brian

They have been posted:
http://k-meleon.deviantart.com/

One thing which may or may not really be a problem is that when there were different versions of each theme, I used the same screenshot for all versions of the theme. Should I load up each skin and take screenshots for each version of each theme so that one can tell the difference between each of the versions?

Also, the descriptions were rather brief because I didn't know what to put. Is there anything else I should include?

Brian

Al,

<<If you give me an idea of what needs to be updated then I'll do the updates to my themes myself (and Eyes-Only's as he passed his themes on to me).>>

Being totally selifsh in this regard, I only have one request...Early Blue!

The screenshots should be Ok, although they are of v0.9 the Privacy Bar isn't showing in them so the themes more or less look like they would under v0.8, give or take a couple of toolbar buttons. Unless of course you wanted a screenshot of the theme with the Bonus Pack added for v0.8.x, well then you woulmd have to do a completely new screenshot.

As it stands I'd just leave them as is mainly because ppl will probably be more interested in v0.9 themes more than anything.

Also, the descriptions were rather brief because I didn't know what to put. Is there anything else I should include?

If I can think of anything extra I'll get back to you on it. The current descriptions are the same as on the Wiki so that's Ok for now.

I should've guessed ;-)

Well if somebody can explain what extra toolbar buttons and/or functions are included in the alternative versions of K-Meleon mentioned I might consider updating it. As I am only using v0.9 + Brian Brun's current update I don't know what extra needs to be done, and nor am I inclined to investigate myself (I don't want to upset the apple cart).

Yes, I took the descriptions from the wiki and put them in quotes because I felt that they described the themes better than I would be able to.

Brian

Al,

Al,

I can't say exactly what needs to be added, except to note that both Fred and Hao have added functions to the toolbar (or toolbars as the case may be). NoScript, AdBlock, Javascript stuff come to mind, but I'm not really sure exactlyt what all they've done here and what they've added in terms of icons that you can put up on the main icon toolbar.

Personally, my everyday browser is also Brian's update to Ulf's original. For testing purposes, I run Fred's 0.8 update, his official 0.9.12 and Dorian's KMSM 1.0b5. Of all of them, Dorian keeps closest to Ulf's original concept to my mind, but I could be wrong, as there are enough variations out there to confuse my simple mind!

It's odd but I haven't read any complaints from anybody yet about missing a toolbar button or function from any of the themes, so maybe we aren't missing anything? Unless it's something on the Privacy Bar maybe? If the v0.9.12 of K-Meleon ships with both Klassic and Phoenity, well those themes haven't been purposely updated for a while anyhow (not since v0.9 of course). There's no mention of an update to them in the release notes anywhere either. So are the new functions only menu inclusive perhaps?

Anyways if that's the case then no real need for an update yet...

I'd have to agree with you, Al. Everything seems to be in order and I haven't noticed any extra buttons on any toolbars (other than just the noscript, adblock, and javascript). Personally, in the Nuvola skin with the extra adblock toolbar, I simply disable the toolbar because I don't think it's necessary to have. Hao's Adblock toolbar has no images- only words. I do just fine with my menus, navigation (back, forward, stop, and refresh), URL bar, search button, go button, and tabs (or layers) bar.
The javascript button is already included in the privacy bar, right? I don't know about the other two, but I don't think they are necessary.

Brian

Actually I was wondering, if it's no hassle of course, if you could post a screenshot of those two toolbars in action for me Brian. I might have a look at them and then do a rendition of them for my own themes, quite possibly as an add-on (aka seperate) download for those who would like to adapt one of my themes (or anyone else's for that matter) for use with Hao Jiang's versions of K-Meleon.

Another thing which has occured to me, Eyes-Only's "Netscape Modern" theme might be another good candidate for inclusion on the DeviantArt website. I've re-read his included "readme.txt" file, and also from my own recollection the theme itself has not been "plagiarised" from any other browser theme out there, which makes it kinda original in ways. I'd personally like to see one of Eyes-Only's themes included as he was a dedicated themer back many days ago, plus Netscape Modern was his first fully fledged theme for K-Meleon. I'm sure he'd appreciate it being there.

I created a Proxy toolbar for the Proxy macro a while back. The toolbar I made only supports the use of three proxies, but it could be expanded to use as many as you'd like.
Here's a screenshot of the Adblock toolbar and Proxy toolbar:
http://bst82551.ath.cx:8181/pics/SS/adblock-proxy.jpg

The javascript button can be seen here (available in K-Meleon 0.9.12):
http://bst82551.ath.cx:8181/pics/SS/javascript-button.jpg

For more info on my proxy toolbar (which really was done for fun and, in my opinion, serves no real purpose) can be found here (made for the Nuvola theme):
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?f=1&i=34904&t=34785

The Adblock toolbar can be seen in most of the CCF builds in the default Nuvola theme.

The javascript button comes with the Phoenity skin in K-Meleon 0.9.12.

Brian

Well go ahead and show them on DevianArt but make sure to tell wich ones are ported and from where. The ones I've ported where all opensource I should say.

Anyone know where to obtain Nautipolis listed here: http://perso.orange.fr/jujuland46/JujuLand/KMES/KMES-Download.html#down_extensions
The download link is broken. Thanks.

@Van, alain has been informed - guess he has not had time to fix the link.

And I lost my USB stick with the updates // backup zip was corrupt like normal.
You just have to wait untill alain finds time.

Drink is not a good thing for an old man :-)

thx batifol - I checked and found some additional typos in the part that could call German privacy icons. And I sent new Nautipolis toolbars.cfg to alain.

cfg file and URL on the site corrected.
