Nvu and Kompozer 0.7.10 Themes and addons download

Nvu and Kompozer are two discontinued open source projects that focus on WYSIWYG webdesign. The rise of HTML5 and Content management systems pretty much killed these tools and similar tools.

Despite this, Kompozer remains a popular tool for beginners, many tutorials are written around it.

Here I’ll provide a bundle of themes and add ons for both Nvu and Kompozer 0.7.10.

Important notice

This will not work on Kompozer 0.83B. There are no themes available for that version as far as I know.

Download

Click on the link to download the file. All themes and addons are tested with Nvu 1.0 and Kompozer 0.7.10

Most of these were scavenged from the web archive, and from obscure sites around the web.

Notes

DOM explorer will cause a start up crash in Kompozer. It runs normally afterwards but I uninstalled it to reduce the annoyance.

Some themes will replace the Kompozer logo with Nvu, that’s normal. Since Nvu themes are compatible with Kompozer 0.7.10.

If I manage to get any more add ons or themes, I’ll update the file and the post.

Update

I spoke to the lead developer on Twitter (Fabien Cazenave) asking for some help. He apologized saying that it has been a long time and he doesn’t know if they are valid themes for it.

RSSowl save index news error fixed

It’s well known that RSSowl is no longer supported. The current status of the project is discontinued since 2013. But the last build is still usable and if you are anything like me, you still use it to collect news and keep informed about the world. Even on Windows 10.

At times Rssowl tends to crash or refuse to show the feeds. Closing the program, restarting the computer and totally uninstalling the computer doesn’t work in this case.

What does work?

By going to the folder C:\Users\”User name”\.rssowl2 and deleting the folders .metadata and config221.

After restarting the program it will work fine.

Please keep in mind that all customizations and feeds will be lost. So make sure to back them up often.

Final words

Do you still use RSSowl, or you went to using the fork? Do you encounter these issues? Please let me know in the comments section below.
