Entr’Acte 2.0 Beta
I’ve finally updated my skin for use with Kestrel. The new skin uses features only Kestrel supports in skins, but better of all it has a completely custom icon set, a set I’ve worked on off and on for about 3 months now. It is of my opinion for Opera to even begin to look native on the Macintosh its icon set should fit in, but in fitting in it should retain its own identity and look. I think I’ve done that.
At the present time I’ve only replaced icons in the default Mac skin, leaving the overall appearance of the skin intact. This is why I am calling this a beta. It’s certainly stable enough for day to day usage, well as stable as Kestrel is on your computer. This is intended as a Macintosh skin, but as far as I can tell (I haven’t tested it) it should work okay on other platforms, maybe perhaps looking a bit odd as the icons might feel out of place on other platforms.
I spent a lot of time on the icons, doing things other developers on the Macintosh do not even do. Most programs on the Mac only have 32×32 icons and the designers do not bother making 24×24 variants of their icons. Well I’ve done more than just that. I’ve created 16×16 icons as well, something Opera can’t take advantage of (yet). I want to write more but Chris wants to go to bed and wants to see what I’m working on.
Well, I’m not going to hold you up anymore. You may download it at http://files.myopera.com/Khadgar/files/Entr’Acte2beta.zip. I’m sorry it won’t autoinstall, but I can’t change mime types on My Opera. I’m waiting for the skin to be accepted by the My Opera mods, so this is all I can do at the moment.
Edit: Fred’s shooed in the skin, so you may download it now in My Opera’s skin section.
