Vista Firefox skin

[calming111]

Hey everyone,

I find it very disappointing that those who are brilliant at making firefox skins haven't made an attempt at anything. What's the problem people? Believe me, if i knew how to make a firefox skin, I would have certainly done it a long time ago. I mean c'mon people, KoL's VistaXP deserves a perfect matching Firefox skin.

Am I right?

... do it then

[Stokkolm]

You should try and make it then.

[TomislavXP]

Yes, you are absolutely right. It's outrageous.

[mrogers]

Here's a good one, it was built for firefox 1.0.7 but I'd expect someone could follow the theme update guide to make it compatible. Amazing what a Google Search for "vista firefox" will do.

;) seem not work wif me

[wratho]

are you using firefox 1.0.7 ?!

[Ambience]

^ Well, I am. Anything wrong with that?

i like the one i'm using:

the back button is grey when there is nothing back...a forward button appears when needed and the stop button is red when it can be used...there is also another theme that comes with this one with the same buttons but they are all gray....

it was for an older version of firefox though so i had to download it....from Deviant art somewhere....it was inspired by Stefanka(not sure this is right...but something like that) Inspirat theme....and after i downloaded it (used it normally on old versions) i had to mod it with a new theme (don't know how to make themes so i just opened a newer one for 1.5 and replaced stuff with things from this theme)

EDIT: the star on the side is my compact menu....in the original theme it was bookmarks....

hey, that theme looks good, have you got a link?

[kellah]

yeah i def want something like that for 1.5

[TCA]

have any of you here ever thought of the fact that maybe ppl don't feel up to skinning FF anymore?

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

^ then they are fools! fools i tell thee!!! I seriously doubt ppl have given up skinning ff, its still popular than ever.

This is the one I modded and am using for 1.5:

Basically, I have used the icons from this theme: http://www.deviantart.com/view/10429888/

And used this theme to tie it together, since its css files pretty much lined up perfect: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=345076

I changed much of the 2nd theme to be the same as the default firefox theme, although some things aren't as perfect as I want them, and I haven't done everything I wanted to do yet, maybe for another day. It could possibly be created to have those blueish icons like in the one above, but unlike the source theme for the icons, the modded theme didn't support the smaller icons option as a work around for changing the icon colours, but it wouldn't be too hard to do I don't think.

I could upload this somewhere for you guys or attach it, but I'm not sure what the deal is with permissions and crap, or if it's just cool to make it available to people. Alternatively, I can email it I guess.

Just as a side note, I had no prior experience with firefox themes, I just mashed my way through it really, and the DOMi was really helpful.

[ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm]

can someone post one of those vista themes modded up? I have no clue how to do that stuff.

ok, i figured it out, ff looks cool now ;)

[Tuco]

Here is my firefox using VistaFirefox1.5 and Compact menu :)

[srb]

how i put the theme ?

what i have to do ?

[Dru]

First download it here.

Then just open the theme window (tools and then themes). Drag the .jar file onto it. Then open the extension window (tools, extensions) and then drag compact menu onto it.

Restart the browser and you're done.

Oh and if you want to remove the blank bar that appears at the top after restarting add this to your chrome.css

/*Hide the Menubar */

#toolbar-menubar {

display: none;

}

Why not just use the VistaXP skin for WindowBlinds? Then everything has a Vista skin. :D
