I did it, but it was a lot of work! For icons, I used what was available from Masons website, OS4 Depot, and painted 40-50 of my own OS4 "lookalike" icons. Unfortunately, the result can't be redistributed for obvious reasons.

I also created a MOS skin called FourOne, but that hasn't been updated since MorphOS 3.1 and I never made it widely available.

MOS has (had?) some icon handling issues that were frustrating me, so I haven't really used it since version 3.1. The new release (with built-in wi-fi support) intrigues me though. Perhaps I'll do a quick install and see if the icon issues have been fixed.

Virus/Malware scanners going off when trying to view those FourOne image files, btw.  Typical favicon.ico stuff.

Hi Ken I love your work!! I emailed you last night asking these questions I'm
really happy seeing you replied on here =).
That would be really awesome if you could try out MorphOS 3.6, it is amazing with WiFi support  that's the reason I've got back into it as well for my PowerBook that's just been sitting there going to register a key & one for my G5..
Is there anyway you would be willing to release your MOS Skin in the state it's in? Cos I love how it makes MOS look, I was sitting at my computer last night looking at your .PNG pics dreaming about it searching the net far & wide lol!

There doesn't seem to be any problems with your images either might be his computer..

I wonder which one of my icons or screenshots is considered to be the most dangerous? ;)

@duffsta

Actually, you emailed my brother, who has no idea what MorphOS is and thought you were a spambot.  :)

Personally I like Ken's imAZ window decorator with Jambalah's Glace MUI theme.

I have no idea what the problem is with my favicon, but I deleted it anyway (along with the whole site). So, problem solved!

I had asked my brother to look into it and he sent me this screenshot ...

Amiga.org shrunk the image down -- its a report showing the site as safe.

Cool, will take a peek and see if the links trip any alarms and report back.

The favicon.ico thing is an oldie, but a goodie.

I'm not distributing it, MorphOSNordic.se is not my site Ken.
