Netscape Releases Browser Theme Kit

With the revival of Netscape earlier this year, the browser has faced one major area of criticism: it's design. While the green user interface is meant to resemble the Netscape of old, critics have said Netscape 8 looks graphically bloated. In response, Netscape has launched a new Web site for user-created themes.
The Netscape Theme Park hosts skins for the new browser that can be submitted by users. Netscape has also posted an SDK that provides a step-by-step tutorial for creating a new interface using colors, buttons, graphics and more. Currently available themes include a new modern look, and a simple Firefox-like skin.
They had "Theme Park" before and never updated the thing. This will likely be more of the same. The George Bush theme is funny, tho!

|The default skin of Netscape 7 is one of the best skins i have come across. The new skins are not even close.its very good that netscape has finally created a user theme section. i checked that out and found some of the skins realyy good.
(check out the Black Metal theme).

|Netscape messed up on the default "skin". It's horrible and doesn't follow the layout of the rest of Windows. These themes may help a little bit, but then really it's just Firefox that has been made worse by Netscape.
