Rest in peace, Keith. I'll always hold a special place in my heart for the NeXTStep interface and general look. ---- Anyone notice some visual parallels between the icon aesthetic since El Capitan and Keith Ohlfs's icons? ---- This guy recreated the NeXT icons (with some creative liberties): http://galgot.free.fr/wordpress/?p=1380 http://galgot.free.fr/wordpress/?p=1380 http://galgot.free.fr/wordpress/?p=1410 http://galgot.free.fr/wordpress/?p=1410

no wonder, as MacOSX/OSX/macOS is the direct successor of NEXTSTEP (the OS), when Steve Jobs came back he managed that Apple buy his company. From Interfacebuilder (nowadays XCode) to Mail, several things in early MacOS X 1.0 server looked similar to the previous NEXTSTEP version (decorated with a MacOS 8/9 theme). http://toastytech.com/guis/osxsv.html http://toastytech.com/guis/osxsv.html Compare yourself, see the "Apple MacOS "X section: http://toastytech.com/guis/indexapple.html http://toastytech.com/guis/indexapple.html

Do you know of an icon set conversion of those that would work with gtk3? Even most icon themes that work with gtk2 are incorrectly structured for gtk3, with wrong icons display for, say, +/- controls. Using the ugly Adwaita set because it's the only complete and working one. The Haiku icon set also only works with gtk2.
