5) In my free time I work on the implementation of a new and modern
GNUstep theme, with a look and feel similar to OS X. The main goal of
this little project is to stop people that are saying that GNUstep
looks old so it is an ancient environment and it’s
bad/useless/crappy/dead because it hasn’t “eye-candy” and can’t be
modern. This is wrong, because what they mean for “eye-candy” is just
a theme, and GNUstep is themable. Look on the étoilé site to see its
themes that are a great look&feel.
I've adopted your rik.theme for a year now. I replaced your icons with
real Maverick icons for folders and introduced a
common_LibraryFolder.png icon.
I wanted to replace GWorkspace's and Recycler 's icons too, but I didn't
find where to look in the code (I'm not a real programmer). So I've
replaced them directly in the FSNode.Framework from GWorkspace.
I didn't know how to replace gnustep's stock icons for common filetypes
so I replaced directly them in the resources folder of some gnustep
apps. I've also created several app-wrappers for my most used
applications, with filetype's icons included.
This way, I've got a desktop with modern mac icons and your theme. And
it works quite well.
But I never succeeded into building gnustep with clang, libobjc2 and arc
on my ppc debian wheezie. So I'm stuck with an older version of your
theme, and I can't build Etoilé.
You can get three desktop screen shots here :

I can share theses icons with anyone who wants.
I'd like to know if there is a cleaner way to achieve this directly in
your theme.
Best regards,
Bertrand
