Well, here is something from me back to the Neowin Community. I have used Neowin for years for information, but never really contributed that much.

The motivation behind this was simply the great BeOS icons. I wanted to use them everywhere, but I am a beginner in this, so please let me know if I made any mistakes and where I can improve. For example, I couldn't figure out how to change the standard buttons in an explorer window.

Screenshots:

BeOS Files:

System Files (shell32.dll version 6.0.2800.1233 and other system files)

Be-98 Icons (by Ueji)

Other Icons (by Unknown)

Firebird Theme (by Lynchknot)

Easy way to update the Firebird theme to work in the latest nightlies can be found here

Miranda IM Icon Set (by DevilXXX)

Instructions:

Download Replacer and use it replace the system files.

Thanks to those who have made the icons, skins, and wallpaper.

I am also trying to update the BeOS Firebird Theme to work in 0.7+. I am having lots of trouble because I have never worked on a theme before. I will release it if I ever get done.

Again feel free to make suggestions and comments. I think that goes without saying on Neowin. ;)

The icons themselves were released under this license, I think all you need to do is distribute your pack with that included.

..and heres one I did a long time ago:

    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
