 Right, and what about AROS ?
 I think they also have their own ZUNE toolkit but can use MUI too. 
It should be fairly easy to port my version to AROS or OS3. I have used 
few new MUI features which are not available in Zune but only very few.

I have also used some alpha blit and Unicode calls not available on AROS 
but more or less I have tried to keep everything portable.

 For the icon there is an SVG file in
 http://source.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/art/logo/emblem/
 for the throbber:
 http://source.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/art/throbber/
 but you can copy the PNG from gtk or beos folders. 
Ah, cool. I got one from amiga folder but it lacked alpha channel.

 I think you can find screengrabs somewhere in
 http://source.netsurf-browser.org/trunk/netsurfweb/

 But I believe it's better if you can use graphics more in line with the
 general OS look, like on Haiku I'd reuse Tracker buttons for example. 
That is what I'd like to do but currently we have only very few prebuilt 
gfx available in MorphOS. Anyway not biggie.
