That's odd... Can you try launching in the command line and see what it shows?

OK, the Windows version is ready, and it's here.

Links:



The Linux version is not ready yet. Please report any bugs which you might find. If no bugs are discovered in a while, this release will be Final.

The Mac OS X Installer (contained inside the DMG) was created using IzPack.
The Windows Installer was created using Inno Setup.

The Windows Installer does install everything appropriately, with one exception: the shortcut is set to point to firescape.exe. Firescape's binary is firescp.exe, not firescape.exe...

Well, after Don's installer bug report, here's RC2. Full list of fixes between RC1 and RC2:

    :arrow: Added MNG/JNG and Canvas support to the Mac OS X build (was already there on windows)
    :arrow: Mac OS X version is now an universal binary, and should run on an X86 Mac (I say should because I don't have a clue if it even runs, since I don't have an X86 Mac).
    :arrow: Fixed shortcut bug on Windows.
    :arrow: Made it compatible with Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar"

Download links:


Since all fixes were already present in Firescape for Linux v0.1 RC1 in the first place, there's no Firescape for Linux v0.1 RC2.

I specially would appreciate feedback from someone running it on an x86 Mac.

Due to a stupid mistake of mine, the Preferences window doesn't work on OS X :oops:

As such, I released RC3 for Mac OS X to fix that dumb problem:

A small handful of issues . . .

When I try use the IETab feature, I get this error message:

Image


I'm not keen on the new default theme. I preferred the Mac OS X style theme.


Oh, and the firescape.exe shortcut bug is still there.

I have no idea of what might be the cause of the IEtab bug. It works fine with me.

As for the shortcut bug...


Image, I uploaded the wrong installer!

The Mac OS X style theme was more buggy than anything, and the likelyhood of me getting it to work is very thin, so I decided to instead put in Winstripe Classic, similarly to how I put Pinstripe Classic in the OS X version.

Well, the right installer is now uploaded:

:dl: Firescape 0.1 RC3, Win32 Installer...

This time, I made sure that there was no reference to firescape.exe whatsoever! It's completely impossible that it creates a shortcut to it!

As there may be some copyright issues with the current combined Firefox/Netscape logo I created long
before the Firescape project started, I've created a brand new logo. It still borrows some elements of
the Netscape logo, but without being direct combination of both the Firefox and Netscape logos.

I believe I've deviated enough from the current round Netscape logo, for it not to be a breach of the
copyright and/or trademarks held by AOL/Netscape. I have also completely removed all elements of
the Firefox logo, so as not to have the Mozilla Foundation/Corporation issuing any legal action.

Image

Since I haven't got any software that can create the glassy effect, or easily smooth out the rough
edges, I consider this version of the logo to be a "rough draft", that can be tweaked and refined.

The image shown here is a PNG file of 256 colors and 255 x 305 pixels. Click the image to reveal a
double sized version of 16 million colors, which is also a PNG file. I have chosen to use PNG, as it
is a "lossless" image format. JPG is "lossy" which deteriorates with each subsequent edit/save.

The pixel size of both images includes all the white space. The font used is called Rockwell.

Any comments?

Looks pretty cool, but I like the current one. I'll consider changing if I do get notices by AOL/Mozilla. Thanks DJGM :)

By the way, I don't really like that font. Do you happen to have any better one? :)
