For some reason WebPositive saves (and posts) several copies of a single patch. Sorry.

Thanks for your hard work! However, we have a private BAboutWindow class (see headers/private/shared) that would be the preferred way for all applications that use the standard BAlert way in the long run.

I wouldn't mind to see your patch being committed for now, though; I've only skimmed over it so far, though, there a few style violations, but only minor things.

You're welcome.

BTW, I added an ESCAPE shortcut to CodyCam and to some other patch too. I think that it is a fine to close About window by Esc button, so I should have put the line

alert->SetShortcut(0, B_ESCAPE);

to all of them.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

About-windows were removed from apps and preferences in hrev41108, hrev41115 and hrev41128. I'm sorry about the work being lost. :I On the upside it means less code to maintain.
