Sorry, I was mistaken, the Sprite versions are wrapped up in the theme at !NetSurf/Resources/Aletheia. You can't extract the sprites without using the NSTheme tool on RISC OS. I've created a page which explains the throbber a bit better: http://www.smoothartist.com/netsurf/throbberinfo.html It has an animated GIF showing what the animation should look like. I guess the frames look very similar when viewed independently, but as part of the animation, the changes are pretty clear. > I'll need them joined together in a "film strip" but I think even I > can manage that. OK, I've placed them on that page in such a way as you can just take a screenshot of the page to get the images in a single strip. (The page just loads the PNGs individually out of source.netsurf-browser.org). You can edit the HTML to get the background colour you need behind the PNGs. If you do that, you lose the alpha channel, of course. If you want me to create a strip version with an alpha channel, so it can be used on any background colour, then I can do that easily. Should the inactive frame be part of the strip, or a separate image? Or I could make a version with a particular background colour and a particular foreground colour. It doesn't need to be gray scale. I'm not sure what would suit the rest of the interface / desktop. Finally, it doesn't need to be 24x24 pixels, I can export at other resolutions too! > I suppose really I should put it all in resources/themes/default - > then the entire theme can be switched easily by changing one variable > and it keeps all the themes together for the future.

It may be a while before we use it though. It's not a priority for NetSurf 2.0. > Are there any default navigation button images? Only the ones used on RISC OS. I haven't put them in trunk/art yet. I could easily do this and we could export them in various formats and different colours. You can see them here: http://www.netsurf-browser.org/documentation/guide#BrowserWindowToolbar On RISC OS the toolbar is customisable - users can drag icons around and put them in whatever order they want and drag icons on and off the toolbar.
