Instead of making something you'd expect from us we decided we'd create the something different...a dark theme. It seems most people prefer dark over light themes anyway, so I hope we did it justice!



I know I've been a bit inaccurate regarding release dates in the past, but you have my word that this theme will be released soon! The theme will be uploaded to deviantART once it's released.

I also just wanted to take a moment to thank all of our loyal fans. You're the reason we do this, and to still see an overwhelming interest in our themes to this day is really something special. News regarding some of our flagship themes is coming soon.

hmm. looks easy on my eyes. the aeroframe could be tinged with black as well. that would probably seal the deal in my opinion

That's great to hear. One of the biggest complaints I've heard about light themes is that they're hard on the eyes.

The Aero frame color is entirely up to the user. If you'd like to make it darker be my guest!

That is a very nice looking theme, currently using Chrome but I always find myself switching between the two so when I move back to Firefox I'll definitely be using this

Looks great, really nice dark theme, any reason the Firefox button is not present?

Thanks guys!

We tried to create a custom version of the Firefox button but felt it didn't do the theme justice, so we opted for a simple cog instead.

Thank you! If the theme is easy on the eyes then that must mean we did something right!

You're doing something wrong if you're constantly looking at the toolbar of a browser.

I agree. I've never really used a dark theme before but I do think it has it's benefits.
