Yep -- myself and a few others are working on a new theme and icon set for some of the distros that will be based on GNUstep. Jasper Hauser < http://www.jasperhauser.nl/icon/ > has been doing some of the system icons, and I have been working on some icons as well, mostly for various applications: http://jesseross.com/clients/gnustep/icons/apps/gorm/ http://jesseross.com/clients/gnustep/icons/apps/helpviewer/ http://jesseross.com/clients/gnustep/icons/apps/installer/ You can see where we're at with the new theme (Nesedah) here: http://jesseross.com/clients/gnustep/ui/concepts/03/camaelon_nesedah.png More about the new themeing engine, Camaelon, is available here (make sure you check out the screenshots!): http://www.roard.com/camaelon/ If you're interested in more on the UI side, I'd recommend subscribing to the GNUstep UI mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > And one other thing, is there any quick way of porting from Cocoa to > Gnustep.

I'm sure some of the others on the list can help you with this one. Good luck and thanks for checking us out again!
