Firefox 3.7 Mockup Redux Theme

[dert07]

Ok, we'll go for the red version then. ;)

[A.Gabri]

why not make it Orange ? :p

[dert07]

Whether it's red or orange, we experimented with an animated version of the RSS icon, but we're not sure if we should really use it.

Does it look cool, does it annoy you or is it just 'too much'?

Tell us what you think, we personally think it looks good but it has to please YOU.

I think it looks cool, but it doesn't matter to me either way. :)

I like it. Is there any way to have theme options? Could let the user turn the animation on or off there.

If there's no standard way to have theme options, it could always be a little plugin that had the options.

I don't think there is any way to have theme options. The closest thing we could do is provide stylish styles for different options.

This is basically an options add-on for a specific theme. That's pretty much what I'm getting at.

I'm liking the animated RSS icon (Y) :) I don't think it looks "too much" at all. I love how this theme is coming along... kudos to all those involved in its design and development.

[RatherLargeBear]

This theme is great! (Y)

No offense to the author(s), but that "new" theme they came up with looks like a bad Chrome clone. Is that the best they can do?

Dude, that's not the author's fault. He's just mimmicking what Firefox have done for their 3.7 mockup. There was a thread about it and people wanted it ported, the OP felt like doing it and here we are now.

Like the progress btw, when it gets released I'll be sure to check it out and post my comments here :yes:.

Unfortunately we all suck at JavaScript, we really do. If someone is good at it, please contact us!

I redesigned and animated the RSS and bookmarks star icons and just wanted to give you a quick update. I hope you like it.

[ViperAFK]

looks great :)

[Black Rider]

Really nice :)

(Sehr gute Arbeit, dert ;) )

[A.Gabri]

Stop teasing and release it :p

[dert07]

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

The theme takes much longer to finish than we expected and now that some proposed a theme options extension, we try to figure out how to do that, too.

But we will release the theme when it's finished whether the add-on works or not. Basically we still need to do some images and clean up the CSS code a bit.

Installed... it's super sexy! Great job!

And just curious, what is the font used in the tabs?

If I have to guess, the rendering engine seems different for these font as well?

[SMELTN]

Can't wait for the update!!!!

[robyholmes]

Any information on release or beta? Would love to give it a try.

[nomis_nehc]

Or font^^?

I looked at this and its very easy to set it up for our theme. I have modified it for our theme and expect it when we release our theme.

What exactly do you mean? The font rendering is Firefox default.

[dert07]

Or font^^?

As far as I know we didn't change the font at all. It should be Segoe UI.

Awesome, glad an idea of mine's been useful :)

Just backup stylish.rdf in %APPDATA%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

This reminds me of something I've wanted to post for a while. I see a lot of talk about backing things up, bookmarks, extensions, stylish scripts etc. and the solutions for dealing with them are extravagant, from portable firefox on your jumpdrive to extensions which datamine you stealthily. I'm sure a lot of people know this but if you dont:

You can back up your entire firefox by just copying the folders C:\Users\(accountname)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla and C:\Users\(accountname)\AppData\Local\Mozilla into a new folder called AppData\(respective folders) and you can then reinstall firefox or copy this folder to another computer after installation. All configurations will be the same as the pc you copied it from. I make a copy about once a month or whenever I'm formatting a PC and planning on using it to browse.
