FriedApple Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Is there instructions on how to make firefox themes somewhere? Like the files that need to be edited and how to jar them? Also is the only way to install a firefox them through the themes website? If not how can I install themes that I have downloaded. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozgeek Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 To make firefox themes, you have to edit a already-made theme. At least that is what I read about. About installing. Simply open the Themes Manager and drag any theme .jar files into the theme window and it will ask you if you want to install. Select the theme and click Use Theme to use that theme in firefox.

FriedApple Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 Thank you very much! I am editing a them right now. Working out pretty nice. However on the searchbar, I need to push the right side out a few pixels to make the rounded part look right. See what I mean... Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tai Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 how about updating an old firefox theme .... say .. one that was made for 0.7 (Firebird) .... easy or complicated ?? :unsure: :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedApple Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 any chance of a tutorial when you are finished making this theme? I wa actually thinking of that. I have found NO help at all anywhere on what the lines in the CSS's are for. Right now I change a number buy a lot... like if margin-left is 1px, I change it to 50 then save the browser.css and reinstall the theme and see what changes. It is taking forever. On updating a old them. The browser.css seems to have changed quite a bit so what I have done is take graphics out of the old theme and put them in a theme I downloaded and then edit the browser.css as needed. Now I am now stuck on the google search bar with the right end. I need to nudge that over 3 pixels and I can't find where to put it. If anyone knows please tell me.

Tell you the truth I was never expecting to have a 'release' of this (didn't think anyone would like it). Here is where I am at now Hopefully we can get that search bar looking correct.

FriedApple Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 (edited) With major help from Kasteo my Saffire theme actually may get released. Thanks and 'mad props yo!' go to Kesteo for looking through my 31337 god awful coding skillz and making the change. I fixed some other things like text positioning in the URL and Search bars as well as the fav icons not showing up right. I also fixed the striped bookmarks so that it goes all the way down when you open the side bookmark panel. I think the formating just may be all done. So now I need to get the Property and Download pages to look the way I want. Here is the latest pic.... I am sure you can see the right side of the search bar now with what I ment. Thanks for all the positive feedback! Mark Edited July 14, 2004 by mrouleau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipgenius Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 how to jar them? You have to zip all files together with a zip utility, like... ehm... ZipGenius :blush: JAR files are renamed ZIP files: ZipGenius handles them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedApple Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 HAHA Thanks!!! I will try your utility out! Since this has turned into a 'when will it be released thread' I have started one here.
