A few bugreports for Skipstone have been filed,
perhaps some of them will be new to you. (Or another interface to the set of bugs (http://sisyphus.ru/srpm/Sisyphus/skipstone/allbugs).)
Thank you for your work on the browser, I hope it keeps being developed!

Re: My skipstone doesn't find the pixmaps
Ok, i just download a new theme and extracted to the same directory and doesn't work, i guess that Skipstone doesn't know in wich folder is instaled him self.
My skipstone doesn't find the pixmaps
when I execute my skipstone, it doesn't find the pixmaps,
they are at /usr/local/share/skipstone/pixmaps/default.
anyway I was looking for a light browser and whithout icons its even more light.
actually it acomplished all my expectations, great rendering and extremely light.
i rated 9, i could rate it 10 if I had icons.
Convert webpages to PDF Documents
I'm offering my webpage to pdf convrsion utility to all of the browser projects and would love it if Opera accepted. I've built a online file conversion engine which takes public webpages, changes them to pdf docuiments and then e-mails the pdf document to the end user. A running copy can be found at www.2convert.com.
If you want it, let me know.

Re: Nice browser but...
OK, I'll add the minimum font size requirement directly to skipstone :)
