From what I've heard many of you found the new FF3 theme rather ugly.

I think that the FF UI developers did a good job on the new XP and Vista icons, but they did a *great* job on the linux version.

Most icons come directly from the Tango! / Gnome Project or the FF3 Theme on linux. The Discovery Icons are made by Hylke Bons.

TO-DO List:

[*]add icons in the menus, still

[*]support for some other extensions

Progress:

Discovery's here!

Note: This theme is supposed to be a copy of the Firefox Linux theme in most parts - so some icons might be neither *real* Tango nor Gnome, but simply a Firefox 3 icon that sticks to the style guidelines. Best example is the add-ons icon - you won't find it in the Tango or Gnome icon package :)

Looks nice, unfortunately I'm more partial to Gnome icons :p ! Good effort though and I might give these a try (Y) .

^Well, in fact I was referring to the icons that are not stock GTK icons. Like for example in the preferences menu. Or the livemark symbol. Or the bookmarks icon. Or the magnifier for search. And there are many more non-stock icons.

But if you wish, this can of course also be used as a more unified tango theme for linux.

btw, I run Ubuntu myself and I think that using the default gnome icons was a great idea which should've been included much earlier.

I decided to take the plunge into Firefox 3 Beta 5 as most of my extensions are now supported, so disliking the default XP theme, I've installed yours, and so far I'm liking what I see. Previous beta themes for Firefox 3 would render a lot of the tabs wrong and some of the icons look a bit out of place or a bit jagged but yours have none of those issues. I believe the Preference page deserves a lot of credit as I'm liking the icons that I see there.

I do have a few things I would like to point out (you knew I would have to say it :p ), which is that it does not replace all the icons in All-In-One Sidebar, and the Close tab icon is still the Firefox 3 version, which is blue instead of the Tango red version . I've added a screenshot to show you what I mean:

Overall, it is very good and I give you a lot of credit for it (Y) . Now, if only someone could make a FoxyTunes Gnome skin for Firefox 3, then I would really be happy :p !

Close tab icon is now tangofied (together with some other non-tango icons) - Thanks for pointing that out (Y)

But as for the All-One-Sidebar, I fear that these icons are hardcoded in the extension. I'll try to look into that.

[updated first post]

i so happy for a tango theme on FF beta 5. this has been one of the most irritating things that held me back, and your theme looks simply amazing. i love the new bookmarks folder icons and overall it feels and looks really nice. Good Job (Y)

i have some suggestions for making it more tangofied -

1. RSS button

2. Bookmark button - star in the adress bar

3 Fruad identity button - make it square like the whole adressbar

Actually, these are already tango. Or well, at least there is a linux version of these. Compare it with the official linux beta theme :) I admit that these aren't the standard tango icons but they don't look out of place to me either.

Updated (Y) . As for the AIO Sidebar, the Gnome icons that I used previously, that were by Sooperdude actually changed the icons in the AIO Sidebar. Overall, it looks very nice, all I'm waiting now is a Gnome version, so no pressure :p !

Again, thanks for the quick update.

any chance of intergrating those with your FF theme?

Another Update - again bug fixes AND a GNOME Version :D

Best news I've heard today :D ! Thank you for the effort (Y) .

why the close button is like that ? it is very close to edge of the tab

Do you happen to use the theme on beta5? I don't have this bug on RC1 - see attachment...

If that's the case, just update (and enjoy an extension-less firefox). If not, do you use any tab-related extensions?

I've only just noticed that the close button uses the Tango red instead of the Gnome blue in the Gnome theme. Also, there are a number of icons in the addons menu and such which utilises the Tango icon, such as the archive icon.

Very nice theme....it's good that someone took over SooperDoode's project now that he isn't skinning anymore. May I suggest changing the name to just Tango Firefox for Windows? Or something like that.....the linux firefox just copies whatever icon set is being used...in fact, Tango isn't installed by default on Ubuntu 8.04. It's really great though. Anyway you could make the tabs a bit nicer? They're pretty ugly.

I second that, as I quite like my boxy tabs in the previous theme made by SooperDude :p . Also, here's a bit of info in regards to skinning AOS, which can be found here.

no i`m using it with RC1 but also i`m using tab mix plus extension

edit: when i disabled the Extension it works great but i hate those very wide tabs

Close button fixed. Not sure about the other tango icons though as these are actually *Firefox* Icons...

Agree, and changed.

They're native on XP now - Vista's native tabs look terrible though

Yeah, I found that already. I'll try my best :)

Edit small bug with the bookmark button:

Fixed :)

Hm, couldn't even find a compatible Tab mix plus yet. If this bug persists in the offical compatible version, I'll try to fix it.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
