ChimerIcon & Camino: A Note from the author
Authored by: Reinhold Penner on Apr 08, '03 05:19:55PM

Wow, I'm flattered by the pick of ChimerIcon. I think I should make a few comments about ChimerIcon and Camino. Since Chimera has changed its name to Camino, ChimerIcon will transform to CaminIcon with the next release. I will be releasing the new version in a couple of days.

ChimerIcon 0.6.3 will work just fine with Camino. There is no need to make any complicated adjustments (like the ones one poster suggested). The only thing that you have to change in ChimerIcon is the path to Camino (you do this in the Preferences tab).

Also, there is no need to move themes to CaminoKnight (CaminoKnight is an application that auto-installs the latest nightly build of Camino). CaminoKnight is "theme-aware", i.e., it will list all of your ChimerIcon themes and install your favorite theme with each nightly build.

Finally, the cron tab posted is quite useful if you wish to further automate Camino installation.

HTH, -Reinhold

ChimerIcon & Camino: A Note from the author

Sure, Reinhold, that's easier ;-) And that's why I tried all what you say, and more, before giving up ChimerIcon to change Camino's look. It simply didn't work, and that's the reason that I had to figure out a manual and "automaticable" method.

As for the election of CaminoKnight's folder, I thoght it was just tidier to keep all the Camino updating resources in one single place. That´s all.

Having said that, I eagerly await your CaminoIcon. As we say in Sapin, I await for it "like for May's water".

A Note from the Reviewer :)
Authored by: DanFrakes on Apr 09, '03 03:11:58AM

I wrote the review of ChimerIcon and ChimeraKnight for Macworld; unfortunately, the timeline of print magazines means that the reviews for the article were written before Chimera was changed to Camino. However, as Reinhold mentioned, ChimerIcon works perfectly with Camino, provided you change the path to the app from Chimera to Camino.
