EnzoFX Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think MOST people on here know hot to/and probably will skin their FF. The average person will barely even notice the change.

DreadBoat89 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 one thing mozilla needs to do is find an alternative to that yucky blue toolbar background. i'm sure the icons would look a lot better without that crappy colored background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauRoman Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 ^Maybe Mozilla needs to consider the option of re-writing their browser to utilize native operating system api's; Windows Presentation Foundation for Vista, and libraries instead of sticking to their scheme. Perhaps when they decide to do this, I will revisit the idea of installing FX. I think they did it for the Mac, but Camino isn't that big of a hit. If I recall, it has an adoption rate about the same as the Mac Internet Explorer, last time I checked. If you think such a policy would do better on Windows, i'd agree. However i still think the bulk of Windows users will still use Firefox vs WindowsFox simply because of the extensions they use. And to move away from Mozilla browsers, All the natively integrated browsers are not really that succesful elswhere (IE, Safari, Konqueror) because they are really not thatintegrated elswhere. Face it, there are not that many natively integrated (meaning minimal to zero usage of Java, GTK etc.) crossplatform applications (Windows, OSX and at least one *nix) and 0 browsers that fit the description.

Calum Veteran Posted March 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2008 ...You can't be serious. Exactly! Those buttons look very different to me. Not just the arrow, but the shade of the blue. Why can't Mozilla use buttons which are very similar to Vista? After all, they are using the same icon company which did the icons for Vista! ---------------- Now playing on iTunes: EMINEM - Under The Influence via FoxyTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dave164 Subscriber¹ Posted March 3, 2008 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) I like the fact that the GUI changes from OS to OS. I'm running Firefox 3.0 pre-beta 4 and i like how on my XP machine it has a XP look, and on my Vista laptop & desktop it has a vista look. I wont stop using it if it drops it, purely because i've found Firefox better, especially these new betas. We have to remember these builds are nightly, change every day and things are bound to change, its part of testing and user acceptance. David.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted March 3, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted March 3, 2008 It's decided: Aero Glass will not make it into Firefox 3. To quote Alex Faaborg's post over at the Mozillazine forums: We are not going to be able to add support for Aero Glass in the default Vista theme without delaying the release of Firefox 3, so we are unfortunately pushing that feature back to Firefox 4 (which was actually kind of expected). To implement Aero Glass support correctly we will need to make modifications to the underlying rendering engine, however it's possible that in the future extensions will be able to add Aero Glass support for Firefox 3. So since we won't be able to ship with glass support, here is a mockup of what we are planning for the Vista theme (which some people have already linked to): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=306472 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=306472 I hope the final ends up like that, actually looks decent, much better than what they have in beta 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee99 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 and on my Vista laptop & desktop it has a vista look. LOL, it does? Mozilla really should be ashamed of themselves over this, because they REALLY ****ed this up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted March 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2008 No, they didn't f**k anything up! They never said they would include Areo Glass in Firefox! You need to use your eyes and read PROPERLY! They actually said they will make the theme "more native" on each OS. They did not say "we will include Areo Glass in Firefox 3". The theme that was linked in Alex Faaborg's post IS more native to Vista, just like was orignally said. I hope they keep this theme. ---------------- Now playing on iTunes: Klaxons - Isle of Her via FoxyTunes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdog666al Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) Firefox should have glass because everyone loves glass, especially me, I love vista and will definitely not be using firefox is it isn't see through. It's not the quality of the software that counts, it's the transparency of the window. Edited March 3, 2008 by hotdog963al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 3, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) but if we consider aero as the system theme... firefox would look so much better If you're using Aero, then Firefox is drawing using the Aero theme (including the toolbar background) Drawing using Glass is a lot harder, and isn't going to happen for Gecko 1.9 (FX 3) Edit: Or it might, there might be an easier way to go about it, they're going to go test.
