The OS X Nightly of today comes with the Australis theme:

 

~sniped~

 

You already got re-spin builds? Windows (build) sucks in build times.

Just got the Australis respin. Looks... odd... the grouped favorite star and bookmarks list look awful (both the buttons and the actual list menu ? which looks SO off). Also no more "small buttons" on the toolbar and larger tab bar. I'm not sure I'm 100% onboard with this, yet...

Microsoft Open Source contributed pointer event few patches also landed on mozilla-inbound. Touch browsing from Microsoft is moving forward.. Liked IE move...

The OS X Nightly of today comes with the Australis theme:

Australia fits very well in osx. It'll news a bit of css on windows 8 tough.

For reference only, how does Australis UI looks like on Windows 8.1:

On Windows 7 where it is not respecting Window Frame color this thing is disaster...

[bawz]

have to admit Australis only looks good on Linux an OSX 

[Boo Berry]

It's also still a work-in-progress. Expect bugs. Also, you guys might be interested in Aris' extension which was released too. :)

Is there any way to use small icons like before? I find it a tad bulky in Windows.

You'll want Aris' extension. :)

It's not a disaster. :P I quite like the Australis theme.

I don't mind the changes, just not the size. I couldn't get what I wanted with that extension, but thanks for the suggestion.

 

Edit: Am I the only one who prefers everything to the left and not the right?

Looks like the 8 specific variant hasn't landed yet.

Edit: Also Pointer Events (Y), even if it did get backed out.

Australis plus Windows Classic:

 

[Konstantine]

Looks like the 8 specific variant hasn't landed yet.

 

 

Which specific variant one? https://bug859751.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=786541 this or https://bug859751.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=742384 this?

Those of you who don't like Australis will like this extension.

I really hope it will land soon because i like this, even though it's a mockup

After using Australia solid for about 12 hours I think I prefer it to the old theme, not a fan of the mixed bookmark button though (And old extension buttons are entirely broken, as usual)

Which specific variant one? https://bug859751.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=786541 this or https://bug859751.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=742384 this?

First one looks like an (old) in-progress shot of the (second) mockup.

[Semtex]

I'm on this build http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/holly-win32/1384792158/ and waiting for Holly in normal update channel.

I'm also in contact with Stratiform developer, They plan to update their extension, we can count for classic look in Australis as well :D

[ViperAFK]

I hope that once its finished it looks more like the windows 8 mockup on windows 8. That mockup looks very beautiful (http://people.mozilla.org/~shorlander/mockups-interactive/australis-interactive-mockups/windows8.html), but in its current form it looks pretty ugly with the hardcoded win7 style blue toolbar.

[.stan]

Yeah currently it has the Win7 looks on Win8(.1) and the menu styling is not finished either.

I really like shorlanders mockup of Australis on win 8, so i tried to write some css to make my nightly like it. It's still a work in progress but you can grab it if you want

 

http://userstyles.org/styles/95258/firefox-metro-for-australis?r=1384902847

 

It has squared tabs as i don't like rounded ones :D

 

[grayscale]

Heartripper, always the savior of those who's not into rounded tabs \m/ Will bookmark that for when Australis hits Aurora.
