You encountered no issues using Toy Factory with NS 6.1 final? I believe, if I remember correctly that the themes page recommends *against* using Toy Factory with the 6.1 final release. If it works without any issues, I might give it a shot. Mark -- e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just for kicks I installed Toy Factory for use with Mozilla. Works fine here :) Anybody know a good place for themes that work well with Mozilla?

Gotcha. Thanks. It's really too bad that they (Netscape) didn't hold off just a *bit* longer, so that Moz .93 could've been it's base. The browser's most excellent, but the mail/news improvements in Mozilla .93 aren't worth losing. Still, it's come a long way, and my hat's off to the Mozilla team. Great work!

Re: Toy Factory Theme
That is a misconception too. Netscape is not based strictly on Moz 0.92. As work progressed on Moz 0.93 many fixes that went to 0.93 were also incorporated into the 0.92 branch that became Netscape 6.1. The code for Netscape6.1 is going to be released soon as Moz 0.92.1 but they could easily name it 0.92.6 or so.

How come you posted info here before that was not covered by Non Disclosure Agreements?. I stand by what I said. Bugzilla comments on individual bugs usually said when the bug fix was recommended to be incorporated into the branch (0.92.x), trunk or both. It is obvbious Netscape fixed bugs that were Netscape version specific since their version needed to have hooks to their propietary features such as IM, Netcenter webmail, AOL mail integration, spellcheck, etc

But why stating that netscape 6.1 is more than just Moz 0.92 is erroneous or a violation of NDA? It is public notice (moz newsgroups, bug fix reports from bugzilla) that they have taken bug fixes that went into the trunk towards 0.93 and that they also made additional bug fixes into the branch not scheduled for 0.93. That is all public knowledge and that is what i said. ;-)
Re: Toy Factory Theme
Hi, Er, a neat little thing happened a few years ago, it was called releasing the source, and it was done by Netscape. The branch that Netscape 6.1 rtm is based off of is hardly a secret. In fact, everything RV stated was correct. Netscape 6.1 is based off the 0.9.2 branch, but many fixes that went onto the trunk (and thus 0.9.3) were put on the branch as well. Don't bother responding to people if you're just going to drop hints about being under NDA. This isn't a popularity contest.
