I really think that K-meleon really needs a complete makeover.

This green color everywhere is sick for the eyes.

Even this website needs a makeover.

Once, there is a makeover then many other people will gladly support this project.

Even the desktop icon needs a makeover

Regards

I don't think so.

About the look, I personally like the green colour (I even use a green background for the tool bar), but I agree about the "dinosaur" desktop and top left icon. Maybe a new icon set would be welcomed, but we need an artist to do it and, call it a permission from some of the core developers (we don't want to be working on something that finally it's not going to be used).

If Dorian or KKO confirms the need of it I (and I assume everyone's invited to help) can start working on a new icon set.

About the rest, I only see two major steps for K-Meleon to carry on: to accomodate with GRE 1.9 and to rewrite the favourites plug in, which is full of bugs. The problem is that these two things require very skilled people to work on it and these people are busy with "real life" and have very limited free time to spend in K-Meleon.

Hmm....

Alright

But Firefox 3.6 is based on much later Gecko engine. Is this so?

Sites like Cnet and others usually don't mention K-Meleon much

Do you have a facebook group?

Thanks!

I like green

K-Meleon is skinable. Users can use another skin, Main icon etc. without any makeover.



This how my K-Meleon looks. main.ico looks like a ball with ring, back.bmp is a color gradiant by siria, buttons are phoenity-aura by Lim Chee Aun and Contributors to the K-Meleon project.

Devs are busy with transit to GRE 1.9 that is also used by Firefox 3.x.

Is a facebook group a development feature? :s

chrismt,

Fred has an experimental version of KM based on Gecko 19.xx

http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,99639

KM 1.5.4 RC is available here.

http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?2,100963

As for the icon:

I just asked whether you had Facebook group because if you had one then it means I can join it. I didn't ask it as a development feature.

:mad:

K-Meleon 1.5.4 beta is based on which Gecko version?

Thanks for the links

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=6114732819 Maybe this has links & info.

Cave. Facebook does not support K-Meleon.
For some things You have to spoof Firefox or Opera for Linux UserAgentStrings.

p.s. Names. Updates.

Current: 1.5.x are versions for GRE 1.8.x. Like Firefox 2.x.
Future: 1.6.x are versions for GRE 1.9.x. Like Firefox 3.x.

Some development k-meleon.exes for GRE 1.9 still have internally 1.5.x strings.

Some of Fred's NIX and Hao's CCF use components from dev versions for GRE 1.9.

Yes, you're right, they prefer make ad for bad products like Internet Web Spirit which are violating laws.

CNET, and all the websites of the group are a shame, and it doesn't disturb me because they don't speak of K-Meleon.

Some recent KM 1.6.x downloads have been made available here. (w00t!)

I suggest chrismt should try out one of those KM 1.6.x builds and see what he thinks. the K-Meleon UI in either KM 1.6.x or KM CCF that Hao uses are much different than in KM 1.5.x.

Speaking of K-meleon CCF, Hao has posted a v0.096.5pre version; read about it here:
http://kmeleonbrowser.org/forum/read.php?1,103199

I also have problems with using Twitter. Some scripts are becoming unresponsive

The great thing I like about K-Meleon is this "It is lightweight"

I am downloading the K-Meleon 1.6.0a :drool:

I am officially joining the K-Meleon family

I think you must have a desktop icon that looks cool

Thanks for all the links

Well, good luck with the 1.6 alpha version, which is even an earlier state than beta versions yet. Just don't be surprised if there are quite some bugs yet in it ;-)

Only thing Kmeleon need is a FEMALE Kmeleon. Or two of them. Make them three.

Hey,

Since there are many builds of K-Meleon, both official and unofficial

Why don't you guys made a seperate

K-Meleon builds Thread for quick reference

One of the best attributes of KM browsers is that they be custmized to the user's liking. But it seems to me, the simpler it is designed the faster it opens and renders.

Mentioned KM several times at the cnet forums myself but could be most of us KM'ers use the KM forums as they specialize in KM browsers.

I would be glad to throw away appearences if it improves speed and rendering

The looks do need something. Most browsers change looks sometime. As for the update on the GRE, I run Firefox 3.5+ on my WIN ME with Kernelex & unicows.dll
Seamonkey 2.0 will not work & a few others. If K-meleon 1.6 gets tested can it be tested on Win ME / 98 with Kernelex is see if it works?

Obviously you don't know much about K-Meleon!
Everything you "complaint" about is customizable. You can make it any colors you want, either download ready-made skins/themes, or DIY (its not that hard! I made my first one using god-damn MS Paint on an ancient laptop years ago).
Do you see any "green" here:

(except for the website)

I don't understand what are you talking about. Honestly.
Are you sure you are not talking about IE?

You can change the look. K-Meleon will adopt Windows styles but use it own icons. Alternatively You can use its skin including background.

BTW AFAIK 888 made a pretty skin with gold background.
You can find his Golden skin and about 150 other K-Meleon 1.5/1.6 skins in an archive here.

K-Meleon 1.6 more or less runs with Kernelx. Someone tested it already.
Zoom makes problems but the rest seemed ok.

888,

Yeah.... I mean, I'm the fan(atic) of Early Blue and right now the only color other than Blue on my K-Meleon is the main icon, where if I were to use the blue lizard on the top bar left, you wouldn't be able to see it, so I use the red main.ico instead!

(Also use the Netscape icon in the top right instead of the original "fire-breathing" green, goofy lizard, but I suspect that will soon change as I often rotate out different avi's for that element of KM.
