I will remove images and icons after project is noticed. But it's a problem of GNUstep project. Nobody wants to create icons and images for GNUstep. Maybe somebody want to replace openstep icons keeping style? It is reference design: clear, moderate, stylish. It is something people can try to use never touching NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP before. Screenshots is a 10% of OPENSTEP user experience. Other things become noticed after some period of using application. That's why I did it. I failed to find more elegant way to return interest to GNUstep. I guess when project started (1996, right?) all of this was obvious because people know what OPENSTEP is (use it, devleloped for it). Now all of these things are misty a bit. Excume me for being so talkative. It's IMHO. I'd rather code something useful. ;) > GC > > On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 04:22 David Chisnall <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 27 Nov 2017, at 22:58, Sergii Stoian <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > Hi David, >> > >> > On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 7:57 PM, David Chisnall <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > >> > This looks very nice, but a few comments: >> > >> > - Apple still owns the NeXT trademark, so be careful about using NEXT >> in the name. >> > >> > I think it is exactly the "NeXT" right?
