Firefox users, I need a new theme

I just upgraded to Firefox 1.06. I figured that this was a good time to completely nuke my Firefox junk, so here I am. I don't particularly like the default Firefox theme, so I need a new one. I'm looking for something sleek and modern.

Welp, when I tried to find the name of my current skin I found something rather alarming. It no longer is on the theme list. So I can't help you out, little buddy! I upgraded recently too, but apparently the skin "grandfathered" in, despite being dropped from the accepted skins toolbox. Goodluck finding a suitable one! Cheers, Munk

If you like clean and simple, I recommend 708090 and 708090 lite by Roland Buehlmann: Clicky. They're about as cartoony as their names.
OTOH, maybe you have a thing for purple kitty paws.

I use pimpzilla.
I have another question, though. With the new version of firefox, all my extensions seem to not work, even after uninstalling and reinstalling them. Is it just that they need to be updated by the people that made them, or is it something in the new version that disables them?

Well, I decided to reinstall 1.0.6 and use a new theme, iFox. I also reinstalled all my extensions and now it works perfectly. :blink:

Ech, seeing all this makes me once again consider switching to Firefox. However, last time I tried it I found out that all users on my multi-user Win98 system shared the same history, cache, cookies and autofill information, and the alleged profiler did nothing to seperate them.
If IE can do this by default, then I should hope that Firefox should be able to do so as well. Plus there's the whole "by setting FF as your default browser for one Windows profile means that it's automatically default browser for all profiles." My mother has barely learned IE, but has earned some familiarity. She's completely befuddled when she starts up the interweb and is faced with a whole new program. Edit: Ech, never mind. Downloaded and installed Firefox and was reminded within five minutes of all the features that annoys me so.

Archon_Wing,Aug 22 2005, 08:02 PM Wrote:I personally used the "Brushed" themeVery nice! I replaced my former favorite, Walnut, with this. The thing that really sold me was the look of the ForecastFox tooltip, very sharp with its icon and print on the graduated blue background. Unfortunately, even this one isn't perfect. I would love to see the scroll bar handles have a brushed effect, but I wonder if that is not possible. I don't know if I have seen one that was able to texture the scroll bar handles. I would also like to see a brushed background behind the bookmark sidebar. Oh well, now I have two I can switch between when I want a change. Thanks.

I find the default theme looked best when I had a custom UI for WindowsXP and the default theme automatically picked up the new colors, believe it or not. But I don't have that set up right now (been too busy goofing off!) so this is a nice replacement. This replaces Pinball as my pre-modded Windows theme now :)

On the topic of themes, does anyone have any good themes for Windows and Winamp? ;)
