  • BeOS/Haiku web site theme

    From Nightfox@21:1/137 to All on Sat Aug 17 17:29:32 2024
    In case anyon here is a fan of BeOS/Haiku OS..

    The other day, I thought of giving my BBS web site a sort of BeOS/Haiku OS theme. Today I started working on it, with some BeOS/Haiku icons and the Tracker menu graphic in the upper right:

    I might do some more work on it. I'd be curious if I can give the fTelnet div a border that looks like a BeOS/Haiku application border, with a yellow tab on the top with "fTelnet" text, etc.. Also, the background I'm using for the web page isn't from BeOS or Haiku, and is just a random repeating background I found online.

    This all is a customization of the web package I'm using (echicken's great ecwebv4), and when I update ecwebv4 in the future, I'd have to re-apply these customizations..

    Very nice!! It looks great and is very functional - I dig the changes... once thing; the light blue text color of non-selected text in the toolbar is a bit hard to see/make out. IIRC, its that way in Haiku - if you desire that exact tone of blue, maybe a different shade when a user hovers mouse over text.

    At any rate, I really dig it! Bookmarked!

    Thanks. :) I'll have to look into changing the color lf selected text in the toolbar. I also want to change the text color for telegrams - I changed the text color to white to contrast with the background, but the telegram pop-up has a white background, so you can't see the text there..
