All I saw of the Netscape Theme Toolkit

A Flock user submitted feedback about Flock not working with video on Netscape.com , so I found myself back on a website that I previously spent countless hours on while doing QA on Netscape 8.

 

I just had to click the blacklisted sites button, and found myself staring at an animated gif showing more themes for Netscape 8.

 

I was reminded by the hours and effort that Kurt and Raj put into creating theming documentation. I am a big fan of both of those guys, and while at Merc I never got around to reading their documents nor looking at their kit.

 

The above Copyright is at the beginning of the document, NetscapeThemeKit.db.pdf so I will go no further.

 

I did poke around to read the license, and was further disheartened to find it at the beginning of NS_Theming_Fusion_1_1.pdf :

"You may only distribute the Sample Code as part of a Theme that you may only distribute such Themes through channels authorized by Netscape"

 

Deleted.

 

I guess I may never see the results of their labor, nor will most in the Mozilla community. It is is a shame that Netscape's current work can't be used to futher the bold and wise decision the company Netscape made in opening their source.
