Firefox 3.7 Mockup Redux Theme

[SpewBoy]

Nice update!

My suggestions are:

To put the home button in front of the top tabs

Give more glow to the bookmarks text

Make a Page button like the Tools one

Finally it would be good to hide the titlebar text and reduce the space of the top glass window border that surely will save a lot space on the screen.

Btw i really really like the top tabs feautre. :)

Hi, The home and page button will be the next thing for me to do. I have no idea how to do it though so I will have to wait for these guys' release and dissect it to see how they did it.

As for the titlebar, sadly all addons that remove the titlbar don't seem to work for me. Firefox breaks and becomes completely unusable with all of them. There are also issues with the space above the tabs and using the aero theme (there's around 4 pixels of extra space above the tabs currently). This issue has been documented as a bug somewhere. Basically, if I put the tabs further up, the border at the top of the browser contents starts acting weird. It's commented on inside the default theme too.

I might also point out that the creator of the tabs on top mockup completely redid the shadows for all of the buttons and urlbar. They appear with more of an outline and less of a shadow, so if I was to do a proper tabs on top theme I would have to redo all of the buttons :o I guess I will eventually... But it would take days of nothing but Photoshop and twice the css :D

I saw this topic and immediately switched to using Firefox again! However, I wasn't able to get it to work.

I thought I followed the directions, I've disabled all of my addons trying to figure this out:

For the funny buttons, turn off small icons.

Not sure about the rest :/

[fmorel90]

You need one of the glasser extensions.

[Clinteger]

Ah, the small icons seemed to cause all of those issues!

Well, I had uninstalled all of the addons and things out of frustration, but starting over again just now, it works fine :D

[callummr]

I had the glasser mod installed!

Try Ambroos' all-glass v2 mod. Unless that's the mod you're talking about.

Thank you :).

That is a really kind gesture, but we are working on this theme from the goodness of our hearts, meaning it's 100% free. Thanks again though :).

[lauro1207]

when you will released the update? :laugh:

[Chris123NT]

when you will released the update? :laugh:

Never

Muahahaha :rofl:

[Stefano Elia]

Another week passes by with no release.

Lol, by the time this comes out, 3.7 will be out anyway, making this pointless.

[SMELTN]

haha Lynx, we all feel like you, we want it to come out.. But be patient they are working on it.

Yes it is taking a bit, but it will be a LOT better with time. These guys do all this for free give them a break!

But I am waiting, Lol

O and love that screen-shot of FF without the title bar and just the tabs. Is there a addon for that? If not WHY!

[BoneyardBrew Member]

Don't worry guys, a lot of work is being done on this theme, we want it to be as perfect as it can get :).

We are trying to come up with some variations including tabs-on-top, the latest 3.7 mockup, as well as 4.0, so it will take a bit of time.

We feel that it will be well worth the wait :D. We are also trying to work with Spewboy so we can eventually combine the two themes.

FF3.7

Q2 2010 ====> summer next year

not anytime soon as you might think

Yeah, same happens here. I think the addon only works with non aero themes (although I haven't tried non-aero tabs on top yet..)

To everyone:

The plan for the Firefox 4 Mockup Redux theme is to combine my theme and the theme by the guys here into one with all the best bits from both. I will continue working on my individual theme, as it's a more personalized approach and some elements may not be to some people's liking, but it's my first ever theme and I like it :D. It will go by the name of Strata40, while the combined one will probably be Firefox 4 Mockup Redux or something similar.

Strata40 should be released within the week on the Mozilla addons site and deviantART.

Here are some previews:

Tabs on Bottom

Tabs on Top

The gray statusbar you see is using the same style as the navbar in the tabs on top version. It is not fully opaque, but has a slight amount of transparency to give the look of frosted glass. I thought it looked a bit cleaner than the standard fully transparent statusbar. The findbar and all other bottom toolbars are also in the same style of course.

Beta version is coming...

Edited September 8, 2009 by dert07

The theme is taking longer than we originally anticipated, so we decided to release a beta version.

It's fully functional, but we removed the page and home for now. We will re-add them once we work out the bugs. We also included an alternative background for tabs and bookmarks bar. To enable add the following to stylish:

#bookmarksBarContent{
			 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://global/skin/images/extras/Bookmarks-BG.png") 0 8 0 8 / 0 8px 0 8px !important;
			 margin-left: -3px !important;
			 margin-right: -3px !important;
			 margin-bottom: -3px !important;
			 margin-top: -4px !important;}
			 .tabs-container {
			 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://global/skin/images/extras/Tab-BG.png") 1 8 0 8 / 0 8px 0 8px !important;}

It is recommended you have the following addons:

• Personal Menu
  
• All Glass
  
• Fission
  
• Omnibar
  

Please report any bugs you find.
