How do i use windows VS as FF theme?


Recommended Posts

hi, i'd like to make firefox use my windows visual style (just like any other app), is there any way to get firefox to do this?

i ask this because:

1. id like my system to look a bit more cohesive

2. i dont like any of the themes available for firefox

details: winxp pro+sp1 / ff 0.9.2

Look for a Luna theme somewhere to match with XP, I guess. I don't even know offhand if one exists or is legal.

In the mean time, use this Userchrome.css file:

/* Make menus XP style */

menupopup, popup {

  border: 1px solid ThreeDShadow !important;

  -moz-border-left-colors: ThreeDShadow !important;

  -moz-border-top-colors: ThreeDShadow !important;

  -moz-border-right-colors: ThreeDShadow !important;

  -moz-border-bottom-colors: ThreeDShadow !important;

  padding: 1px !important;

  background-color: Menu !important;

}

menubar > menu {

  border: 1px solid transparent !important;

  padding: 2px 5px 2px 7px !important;

  margin: 0 !important;

}

menubar > menu[_moz-menuactive=true]{

  background-color : Highlight !important;

  color: HighlightText !important;

}

/* Make borders XP style */

vbox#appcontent {

  border-right: 1px solid ThreeDHighlight;

  border-bottom: 1px solid ThreeDHighlight;

  border-left: 1px solid ThreeDShadow;

}

tabbrowser#content {

  border-top: 1px solid ThreeDDarkShadow;

  border-right: 1px solid ThreeDFace;

  border-bottom: 1px solid ThreeDFace;

  border-left: 1px solid ThreeDDarkShadow;

}

/* Make the active tab not bold */

tab[selected=true] {

  font-weight: normal !important;

}

You can edit out those last 3 or 4 lines if you do not like that.

Firefox should skin the window borders, menus etc as per your visual style.

If you want the Toolbar images etc then you'd have to create your own theme.

what icons?

if you want to change the icons get another theme, lol.

sorry though, the hearts will stay as this theme is supposed to compliment an OS icon pack for linux called Nuvola and the heart is teh default favourites button.

rename the .jar file to .zip and extract it. Change the icons you want, then zip it back up and rename back to .jar :)

Back it up though just in case.
