Firefox 3.7 Mockup Redux Theme

[thealexweb]

I think they should concentrate on finishing the theme for Firefox 3.5.1. They have a lot of work with that.

If they would make the theme compatible with every new beta, they will not have time to finish it just for 3.5.1.

I think thats too much work. If they will do that, they need to fix bugs for two or more firefox versions....

That would slow down the development and everybody hast to wait many weeks for a new release.

You obviously don't know much about making a firefox extension if you say things like that. Since there will be very little cosmetic changes between 3.5.1 and 3.6 alpha 1 all the developers for themes have to do is changes the maximum version number there extension can work with or we can use nightly tester tools.

Since Firefox 3.6 Alpha 1 is coming out on Monday is there support for the 3.6 series?

Refer to this previous post from page 7 of the thread. I am using the latest 3.6, and it's working and looking the same as others' screenshots.

Try disabling Gmail Notifier.

Press ALT twice.

Try disabling Gmail Notifier.

That helped. But I need that add-on... I hope this incompatibility can be fixed.

This theme is pure awesomeness! I just have two small problems, I can't get the colored stop/go/reload button to work. Could someone please provide a bit more detailed instructions? The Userchrome addon confuses me a bit. Second thing, I had All Glass Firefox before together with Tab Mix Plus and no problems, however since I use this theme the multirow tabbar works no longer tabs simply go off screen.

Anyways, keep up the great work!

I will change the maximum version numberi n the next version.

I know you are talking about the buttons posted earlier, but I just want to let you know that the next release will also include the stop/reload buttons. It will be released sometime this week :).

It works for me and supports gmail.

Here's an updated screenshot:

Features as of now:

Modified Back/Forward Buttons

Modified Tabs w/ Highlights

"New" New Tab Button

New Progress Line

New Rounded URL Bar

New Reload/Stop Buttons

Updated RSS Icons

Updated Bookmark Icons

Updated Bookmark/Tools Bar

There are still some major bugs that need to be fixed. The Search Bar is missing borders on both sides to name one. The URL Bar left-hand side border needs to be tweaked, and the URL Bar's size will most likely need to be modified a bit.

Thanks for your patience everyone :).

- ORIGINAL

- Firefox 3.7 Mockup Redux Theme

Sorry for my English. I wished to tell that it is necessary to add a strip to tabs as in the original.

Thank you for work!

This doesn't really relate to the skin directly, but this is just a thought that has bothered me about their concepts... (other browsers seem to be adopting this idea too)

Why is there so much emphasis on moving icons to the top right portion of the screen? Aside from closing/minimizing windows and/or tabs, that is the least used region of the web browser for myself and others. Most navigation buttons, extension buttons, tabs, and even the entry area of the address bar are in the top left region.

Why don't they just add the stop/refresh/go button to the front portion of the address bar? That way your mouse does not have to go all the way to the edge of the screen just to click it, but it would in fact be right where everything is already centralized.

Also, combining bookmarks and tools looks nice, but I use my bookmarks button ALL the time, and I do not want to have to go out of my way to pull down the menu; tucking it away in the top right really isn't intuitive at all.

Fantastic!

How Can I Make it?

[rolarocka]

Just a hint. I use the omnibar addon to combine the awesomebar with the search bar and it works pretty good.

Thanks! That's an excellent idea, and reduces clutter for those who want to be able to use the search bar, while maintaining the style presented in the mockup.

Also, we are just trying to get the theme as close to the mockup as we can, so if Mozilla decides to change something, whether it be the Bookmarks Toolbar or the tabs, we will try to get our theme to match that.

For those who don't like the newest mockup, we will most likely leave the previous version available for download.

Cant wait for the new version mainly for the updated new tab button te current one looks really weird with no border.

Screenshot you posted looks great :)

Thanks guys :). It seems someone else has created a theme so now we have some competition :(.

At this point, what mainly needs to be done is a tabs on top version. We would like to release that simultaneously with the tabs on bottom version.

Shouldn't take too long :D.

[SMELTN]

Did you ever get with that guy on Deviant art about working with him? The one we seen the mockups on?

And about competition... Have you thought about getting it added to the themes page on Firefox, so it can autoupdate through firefox and get more publicity on it?

Yeah, I spoke with him. He is going to work with us to create the tabs on top version :).

We did look into that. I uploaded one of the first versions but I set it to hidden so that we can upload the latest version. I would like to release the upcoming version to the website once we finish it.

it looks like a couple of people have the window in full mode and still have the glass effect, and I was wondering how this is done? when I maximize it it turns black.

Thanks

Another quick way to combine the Awesome Bar and Search Feature is go to about:config and change the key
