Yo Sailfish,

Thanks for finally deciding to put up this theme for the public. It's a great theme. You should know there're pple out there supporting efforts like yours even if they're not vocal about it. Keep going, man!

looks nice, but itīs so slow! i canīt download it. The connection died.

[6] Submitted by: Sailfish on Tuesday May 28th 2002

Thanks all, I'm pleased you find using this theme as fun as I have.

Max, Skypilot is certainly a resource consumptive Theme. Kang never found a widget he didn't want to style nor an area where an image gradient wasn't better than using a background color. I've attempted to retain every rendering style he used since it is but one of the things that make this theme what it is, imo.

[7] Submitted by: coda on Tuesday May 28th 2002

looks nice, Sailfish!

hey, i'm working (playing around more like) on something, http://www.coda.co.za/pics/misc/mozskin.gif, haven't found any moz skinning documentation yet except the NS docs which I think might be outdated? Correct me here... Anyway, skinning tut would be good so I know the limitations. Initial feedback appreciated guys. (yeah, I am working with the Modern theme as a base, I know... ) ;)

[8] Submitted by: Sailfish on Tuesday May 28th 2002

Hello coda, no, the existing documentation for theme development is majorly outdated as of this post. I've had a couple of requests to provide a "How I Did It" tutorial and if I ever get this theme finished, I may consider doing it.

btw, your link seems broke?

[9] Submitted by: coda on Tuesday May 28th 2002

hmmm ok well so far I have just been editing the css and gif's in the mozilla.jar and then reopening Moz each time to see the effect. Quite a pain. Yeah ... this forum didn't quite get the auto-url thing right. Try here, no comma:

Coda, looks nice. When I first saw it I thought it was just a recolored version of Modern. Might I suggest after finishing it you do create something akin to a "Sandy Modern" where its just a recolored version of modern.

I'd sure get it. :)

Strange. Whenever I wanna download or install this theme, I got 403 Forbidden. Is the URL correct?

[20] Submitted by: coda on Saturday June 1st 2002

So don't those Netscape 6 themes work in Mozilla RC3? I could port them, I think anyone could - but I prefer doing something original. Caspy7, wouldn't it be cool if Moz came with a theme switcher like Winamp 3 Beta ?! If you're not familiar with it, you can change the HUE (primary colour filter) of the skin to anything you want. Very awesome. :D I'll keep working at my skin, yeah I did use Modern as a base but I plan to customize it all. Will get there eventually.

Hello Pasha, adding the internationalization for Russian would be fantastic! As you can see from the link below, it has already been done for an earlier version of Sky Pilot in Traditional Chinese:

Do nOvyh vstrEch!

[25] Submitted by: Sailfish on Monday June 3rd 2002

Pasha, at present, theme creation tools are pretty rudimentary and arcane. Basically, a zip/unzip utility (for the jar files), a text editor (for the jar file style sheets), a photo editor (for the images) and, finally, heavy research into XUL using sources at mozilla.org and xulplanet.com.

Good luck.

PS, the comment above was from me, I neglected to fill in the "Your name:" box.

[26] Submitted by: pch on Monday June 3rd 2002

Excellent work! Few bug/comment/feature: - in Mail/News, the throbber is not vertically centered - in the right panels of the pref window, the background is divided into two fixed size regions: dark and light grey. I agree that it is consistent for all the panels, but looking at individual panel, it looks like a bug (internet search, history etc...) I think the dark part should fit all the option aeras or only the first option. - the status messages (in the status bar) are white. I can not read them. I suggest they should be black - for mail/news, the left panel including the accounts and folders has a dark blue background. For me, it's a blocker, since I can not read the black names. I suggest for consistency that the background should be cyan as the left panel of the adressbook. - Mail/News: the header of the displayed message is pink. this color is not used elsewhere. I think using an already used color would increase the consistency. - Mail/News: when selecting a labeled message, the color information is lost (always black) - favicon in the URL bar has a 0px padding. 1px should be better. - no hover effect on the bookmark items in the personal toolbar (I like very much the hover on the home button) - the menu buttons in the menubar should imho be one pixel wider at the bottom, so that the _ for accesskey will be surrounded by the blue background. - very very minor, but since I am reporting all I am seeing: look at the 'Sidebar Tabs x' header in the sidebar. at the top right corner, the top most horizontal line ends up to the grippy on the right and should not if we want to have a well defined corner.

Other than that, that's great!!! I'll keep reporting bugs when I see them.

[27] Submitted by: pch on Monday June 3rd 2002

argh... sorry for the missing double CR

[28] Submitted by: Sailfish on Monday June 3rd 2002

pch, first, thanks for taking the time to scrutinize the layout in detail. I'll log each of your suggestions into the Bug List for future consideration. Also, some of what you've requested (like the removal of dark purple background in folder pane) would be a User Interface change from the original design which I've tried to be careful not to do. However, if enough people believe this (and other) original design aspects need changing, I'll certainly take that into consideration.

Again, thanks for fine-tooth-comb review.

[29] Submitted by: Shark Daddy on Monday June 3rd 2002

A very well-done theme, but I noticed when going to other themes, they keep your ChatZilla icon until you mess around.

[30] Submitted by: Sailfish on Monday June 3rd 2002

Shark Daddy, it may be because the other theme doesn't have a skin for chatzilla, in which case, Mozilla will keep the last skinned chatzilla stuff (in this case, Sky Pilot) or that's how I understand it.

[31] Submitted by: Jana-Burleson, TX on Tuesday June 4th 2002

Okay, just to clear up any confusion that may exist out there. Sky Pilot is available on my site for Netscape installations (it includes AIM skins but not chatzilla); while mozdev (here) is for Mozilla installations (it includes chatzilla skin but not AIM.)

For those who may not be aware, the link is:

I hope this helps clarify the differences between the two sites.

Halleluja! My favorite Sky Pilot is back! It looks great, it works great, and I could not be happier.

Well, except for one glitch here on the OS/2 version of Mozilla 1.0 (release) in that the menu bar is too "thin" -- bottoms of letters are cut off. Functionality seems to be perfect, however. Thank you!

[36] Submitted by: Beverly Martin on Thursday June 6th 2002

Speaking as one of your alpha testers... this theme is WONDERFUL!!! Sailfish really worked his tail off to port this theme over for all of us to enjoy with both Moz 1.0 and Netscape 7.... THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!!!!

PS: I too would like to see a tutorial... maybe I will try to enter the crazed world of theme development.... :)

[37] Submitted by: Bob on Thursday June 6th 2002

I thank you for the work you have done to resurect this theme. It was my preferred, and I was very sad it was not updated.

However, I have some comments to do:

* I agree with pch's suggestions

* I'd like to see the site icon in tabs

* The loading animation looks good in sidebar, but looks terribly bad in tabs

* I don't like the checked check box

* I find the radio buttons are too unflat

[38] Submitted by: Max on Thursday June 6th 2002

Nooo! Sorry to inform you of this but unfortunately this theme has done nothing for me. Instead, it has crashed my Mozilla - I had to quickly rush into Mozilla Mail, hit Edit, preferences and quickly uninstall it before my whole computer went down. A real shame, it seems to have had a lot of work done on it, but I'm sure this problem can be fixed. I'm using the latest version of Mozilla - 1.0 (2002053012) . M

[39] Submitted by: Sailfish on Thursday June 6th 2002

All:

Several of you have taken the time to provide feedback on this theme in the form of change requests and for taking that time, I thank you. However, while you may still do that here, I'd prefer you also send it to my email address as well. That way I am able to contact you if I need clarification on a item you're reporting.

Also, I plan to add a Mission Statement to my site eventually but allow me to provide a quick and dirty outline of it here for your review.

Mission Statement

The Sky Pilot theme is the design creation of Kevin Cunningham, also known as, kang. In porting his theme to these later releases, I've attempted NOT to claim ownership of it but rather something akin to a caretaker. As such, I've taken extra precautions to keep to the original look/feel of this theme since I've included kang's name in the author title and in the theme-list picture.

I am not in communication with kang so any changes I make that diverge from the original design stands the chance of offending him such that he may not want his name associated with this portation. This would be very unfortuneate if it were to occur since he should continue to be acknowledged as the designer of this theme, imo.

It is my continued hope that the rightful creator of this theme will eventually decide to reclaim ownership of it and move it into, perhaps, newer and more interesting directions. In order to keep that hope alive, I've decided to be very cautious on making look/feel changes.

However, there are instances where changes are warranted, e.g., tabs but even there, I've attempted to design them based on other elements that were part of the original design (communicator tabs.) Also, where the original design may have caused confusion (one of pch's reports, for instance) I've decided to make the change; however, most changes are either due to lack of similar functionality in the later releases of Mozilla or cosmetic in order to make a particular section more clear.

Again, thank you all for taking the time to comment on this theme and I hope you continue to enjoy using it as much as I do....

Sailfish

[40] Submitted by: Sailfish on Thursday June 6th 2002

Bob, I had to make some difficult binding changes (for me, at least) in order to disable the favicons from displaying in the tabs. Unfortuneately, there can only be one image on the tab and I'm using it to form the chevron. When the favicon was enabled, it removed the chevron and made the tab look inconsistent. Thus, since the favicon still displays in the URL bar, I feel its more important have the chevron there than a duplicate favicon.

What would you say if I replace the loading animation with the small skypilot favicon you see when you go to my site? Others???

Your other suggestions are constrained due to their change from the original design. See Mission Statement above.

Max, I'm entering this response using 1.0Final and things seem okay on this end. Send me an email giving me some more specifics and I'll see what I can determine.

Cool theme yeah. Just one problem: it breaks the search sidebar. No content at all. Can you look into it sailfish? Thanks

[44] Submitted by: Sailfish on Friday June 7th 2002

I've fixed (actually, worked around) the obscure Buzilla which was causing the Sidebar Search tab to treat you browser like an anchor in Sky's nose section. I've also incorporated some enhancements I received as comments from you folks and fixed the fullscreen mode throbber-box ugliness. A full listing of all the changes can be found in the Issues List on my site, if you're interested.

I've also sent both versions to mozdev (here) for their updating but will allow installations directly at my site until mozdev has the files ready on theirs, just as with the last update.

As a reminder, my site's link is:

http://www.projectit.com/skypilot/

I regret any problems that the Sidebar Search "nose-dive" may have caused but, as I mentioned, the bug is very obscure and it took me this long to figure out an adequate work-around.

Lastly, MAX, the Search Sidebar issue may have been the cause of your problems? You may want to give it another try. If it still hangs your system, send me an email with your environment details.

[45] Submitted by: Sailfish on Friday June 7th 2002

I neglected to add that if the Version above (as of this post) isn't listed as, 1.3_MZ1.0F , then you will need to use my site for the latest download.

But, I think some colors are not beatiful. For example, there is no color symphony seen in Mail section. One part has a color like gray(main), the other has a color like navy blue (left side), subject section is red to maroon colorized, header details has a light orange to a blury color, etc..

But I must say, the buttons are very nice, so top section is very nice :-)

[53] Submitted by: bogo on Thursday June 20th 2002

This theme is gorgeous. I wish I could switch over to it permanently. However, it seems to get confused about resizing windows sometimes. Under moz 1.0 rc3, when a website pops up a new window (say, to view a publication), and you tug on the corner to make it wider, the frame gets bigger but the info inside isn't resized: the extra space stays transparent. Is this just a problem on rc3? The boring default themes don't have this problem tho'.

Sky Pilot has been updated.

While most of the changes were incorporating the new features of Mozilla 1.1b ("New Tab" and "Add Directory" buttons) and changes in the previous stylesheets, several changes were made to the Tab Bar and Personal Toolbar that will be seen in earlier versions of Mozilla and Netscape 7PR1. Refer to the Issues List on the site below for a complete description of the changes.

http://www.projectit.com/skypilot/

As in the past, both the Mozilla and Netscape new versions have been provided to mozdev.org (here); however, it may a few days before they are able to update their site. Until then, you'll need to use the above listed site in order to get the latest version.

Sky Pilot 1.8rc1 Available

ENHANCEMENTS:

All 1.x versions and NS7PR1 ---------------------------

1. Implemented SkyPilot-ish buttons and Mast to Calendar's Navbar and /styled/ its component button.

MAINTENANCE:

Latest Mozilla 1.1b builds only -------------------------------

1. Fixes /hang/ caused by Bugzilla: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162891

This is an /RC/ release since I'm hoping to get some feedback on the Calendar changes before finalizing.

Note: While Calendar's workspace styling is inconsistent with the general Sky Pilot purple/grey montage (it's light blue, mostly), I do *not* intend to modify Calendar's workspace components, at this time.

Lastly, I plan to wait until I finalize version 1.8 before providing it to MozDev.org. This version can be installed at:

Your theme would be really awesome, except it does not work!! I had to completely strip Mozilla off my system, and after numerous failed attempts are getting the reloaded version to work, I finally found the Apps folder where all the themes are kept. After deleting those files, my system now works.

On top of that, when i did download the skin, a:the back button or none of the buttons on the top menu worked. It would not let me right click back. I think you need a lot more work before you release it to the general public.

I wonder, how many other system's has your theme screwed up? Perhaps, if it didn't work properly on your system or a friend's system, that gee, maybe it's not compatible with certain platforms!

Test your *#&$% first! Sorry your vain attempts at being a programmer didn't work, hmm, perhaps a few years in school? (or how about graduating from high school first?)

Sincerely, a pissed off user.

It works very fine! Don't know what kind of junk you have but everything is just fine for me! I have a stupid powerbook G3 with everything you can imagine installed and still got no problems in any direction! Be Well!

Sailfish, before I try it, does it work OK with Moz 1.1?

Looks great, waiting to try it.

Rick, yes it works well.

I plan to release the final 1.8 version soon, I need to integrate the NS 7.0 Final changes into it.

I'll post on a brief announcement here when its ready but, as I said, the current version from my web site should work fine with Mozilla 1.1 Final.

Sailfish - Thanks! It looks Great and loaded fine. No instabilities & saw none of the problems the September 1st troll mentioned. Good job, they should load this with the Mozilla download file.

Cheers - Rick

hey Sailfish, can you make a small addition to your theme: new tab button. The problem is that all themes except SkyPiloy have New tab button Thanks

[102] Submitted by: Sailfish on Wednesday September 4th 2002

Cerberus, the New Tab button has been there since Version 1.7. However, you'll need to install it from my site since MozDev hasn't updated the theme version here since 1.6.

The latest can be obtained at:

Thanks, you rock! I got a question for you: are you currently working on any new themes for Mozilla? :)

[104] Submitted by: Sailfish on Wednesday September 4th 2002

Cerberus, I just finished creating a Sky Pilot Icon Pack (available on my web site under "Extras") and am now finishing up the Sky Pilot Netscape 7.0PR1-to-7.0Final changes. I should announce it here within the week.

As to any other themes, I'm not currently working on one but may decide to add one sometime in the future...

Very lovely. With my Mozilla, however, the menu bar and bookmark bars aren't quite tall enough, so that there is no clear space under the letters. Same is true for the toolbar for the Mail and HTML editor functions.

Sky Pilot 1.9 Available

Below is a brief list of changes in the theme:

o added support for view filter log stylesheet introduced in Mozilla 1.2a build 20020912.

o added support for Addressbook IM button introduced in Mozilla 1.2a build 20020912.

o Netscape 7.0's Personal Toolbar Sidebar button was changed to only display if the sidebar is closed. This allows the user to gain the added space if the sidebar is opened while still being able to close the sidebar using its Close button.

o Mozilla 1.x changed message headers from non-selectable to read-only (now highlightable and copyable.) This changed the way header values were displayed in a less aesthetic manner. Added new styling to display the headers in the same manner as before.

o restyled View | Headers | All to only display a small frame but included scrollbars to access overflow fields.

o added Home Button, http://home.no.net/trihand/mozilla/home/en/ , image support.

o corrected Fullmode Back and Forward button incompatibility.

o corrected Addressbook sidebar header to be consistent with Navigator's sidebar.

Sailfish I just installed Sky Pilot 1.9 and it *rocks*!!! The added support for the Home button add-on is especially appreciated. You've got a stunning theme and you keep making it even better!

Interesting!...What can I say?...

[111] Submitted by: Dumb Question... on Tuesday September 24th 2002

This may sound like a dumb question, but how the heck do I download one of these themes?

I see no obvious 'download' link on either http://themes.mozdev.org/skins/skypilot.html or the previous page http://themes.mozdev.org/ ...

What do I do?
