I personally love the OS X theme and think it is probably the best looking browser theme I have ever seen.

I find it hard to understand the arguments that Mozilla should have made Firefox (toolbar) UI follow the default OS X style more. This is mostly because I'm not at all sure that there even is one. Here is an example:

(iTunes, System Preferences, Finder and Mail open in OS X Tiger)

Mozilla seemed to take some elements from iTunes while adding some personal touches and I'm happy with that. Obviously they didn't want to just copy the Safari theme (which in my opinion, is boring as hell) like some have suggested, as it would only have led to half the people complaining about their lack of creativity anyway.

You can:

Vista Theme on XP

And if you want to use the XP theme on Vista - you can as well:

XP Theme on Vista

Thank you (Y).

Vista default FF3 style is just awful, XP's one looks much better.

They're following the Leopard style, same as iTunes.

Get Leopard. :p

Ahh.. at least they have unified the toolbar colours. It confused me quite a bit the first time I realized it. :)

To me, Firefox 3 buttons seem to be one part iTunes and one part Mail (the shapes), and (if you don't count some minor things like those pointed out by giga) the theme fits very well with OS X. I don't know why some are complaining about it so much (I'm not pointing at anyone here), but I guess it doesn't matter either as I like the theme so much.

I think the Windows Vista theme is actually pretty nice and surely we can all agree both the Windows themes are much better than Firefox 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0!? They were hideous!

I think the Windows XP theme fits in perfectly with the OS!

imo the firefox 1.5 theme was awesome and much better than 2.0's pointless redesign. The new themes in ff 3 look better though.

I quite the XP look, though I really dislike the tabs, I'd wish they'd just us the native xp tabs.

Also what is the blue glow on the search box suppose to represent?

The blue glow is the web site telling you 'Hi, I support the OpenSearch API! Click the button to add me to the list of searchable sites!'

just found a good theme for vista to go with Glasser extention to abapt FF more into the OS. I cant get a preview right now on a work computer but here is the link from user styles.

Nice! That custom style makes firefox look awesome with glasser. Looks as good as IE7 now.

    • The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
    • I call complete bs on this - no way your average joe / jane is using AI.
