Full Version: Vista Skin for Firefox?

I'm looking for a nice Vista skin for Firefox 2.0. I've seen a few around, but the look unpolished or finished. If you google search Vista Skin Firefox, you'll see a prominent skin for Firefox 1.5 made by Crystal XP, but theres no 2.0 update.


So what one are you guys using?

I actually posted a mini-howto a couple of weeks ago on how to make Firefox look better in Vista.
There's a link in the post to a pretty nice skin which works well for the most part, even though it's still a work-in-progress. smile.gif

Here's the blog post

Install then right click on the menu and click customize then use small icons

I like "Vista Firefox 2", but it has a bugged back button (It doesn't gray out.)

IE7 still looks better... Don't know why but i've never liked Firefox (even not over IE6)

Agreed.. I am using this one myself and loving it.. Looks really clean and matches the horrible blue background of Vista perfectly.. rolleyes.gif

Just install the Stylish extension https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2108/

and get this user-style http://userstyles.org/style/show/843

for Google.

The link posted Rahul above says "If you're looking for the Personalized version, you can find it here: Google Personalized Home - dark blue redesign (vC)" Link wink.gif

You can also use "Find styles for this page" in stylish smile.gif

WOW these are nice but something trully awesome would be to have glass ,the menu,the adress bar and the toolbars, just like internet explorer 7 in vista. I doubt you can do this with themes.

Maybe an extension would be possible to add glass. I think this best fits vista.
zidenix
you guys should try this one
