SoapyHamHocks Member Posted January 16, 2011 Member Share Posted January 16, 2011 Here is a theme I've been working on that fits in with the default Windows 7 theme. Download Any kind of feedback is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJohnSmitherson Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hmmm...Have you tried making the toolbar transparent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoapyHamHocks Member Posted January 16, 2011 Author Member Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hmmm...Have you tried making the toolbar transparent? Tabs on bottom features a transparent toolbar. For tabs on top I like to stick with something solid, helps blend the tabs into the toolbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyang Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Overall Great, and I think the changes to the rich list style goes a long way towards giving Firefox a more complete and polished look. Specifically. The tabs are difficult for me to read in front of a dark background. I'm not yet used to the very faint hover effects that the buttons have. I like the orange Firefox button better than the blue, though I can see why blue would fit in better with this lighter appearance. I don't really like how the blue URL turns black when hovering over items in the auto complete list I don't really agree with changing the favicon to say page info all the time. I rather prefer the stop/reload/go buttons having their more obvious green, red and blue colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right about the tabs on darker backgrounds, It's hard for me to create something that looks good on light and dark backgrounds while keeping this style. The 'Page Info' bit was an experiment, I'm not sure if I'll keep it or change it back. At first I really thought it looked good, but now it does seem a bit out of place. Thanks for the feedback.

You're welcome. Translucent designs are such a pain, lol. I also did a little rapid fire editing and added a few things to my post before you replied. I had a few of those comments thought out a while ago though since I was using your Windows 7 style with Stylish. :p . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznkid25 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Nice work. I noticed that in the screenshot included, the FF button has the text in it, but when I installed the theme, the button had the white FF logo in it. Finally, just a minor detail, would it be able to center the firefox button a little more? Right now it looks like its a bit too far to the left. That's just me though. Other than that, it's a really nice theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Ferson Veteran Posted January 16, 2011 Veteran Share Posted January 16, 2011 I like it! I've been trying out Opera recently, and this theme is really quite a nice change to the themes available for Opera! The navigation buttons and the animations for them are very aesthetically pleasing to me. All in all, this is probably one of the nicest themes I've found for Firefox 4!

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted January 16, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think it looks great, it's not really trying to look too fancy, which is useful for the general population. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesGaiZu Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) really nice imo, going to use it as my main firefox theme as it goes really nicely with 7's vs shine 2.0. edit: just noticed this is a theme not the stylish I am using so i tryed this and didn't like how it changed my no script button (looked really out of play) will you be updating both this and the stylish or just the theme?

hellohello Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Wow, this is a nice skin. Definitely will use this once Firefox v4 stable released :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T M H Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Absolutely love it. :woot: This theme is leaps and bounds better than the default Firefox 4 theme which still looks very unrefined even when compared to Strata40 which has been available for a long time.

FiB3R Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Not great on a dark background, at least not when used with "Firefox Beta9pre+ Normal Window Tabs In Titlebar" (Stylish) Guess we can't have it all :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakuzing Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think you should go for also creating "Seven Unlimited Options" add-on like Classic Compact Options https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/classic-compact-options/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
