New Firefox theme - LavaFox V1

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi everyone.

I haven't been here for a while.

Got busy with a very big project, a theme for Firefox.

The theme is based on my Dark Lava style but it went a long way...
I'm releasing it only on Mozilla Add-ons since it's much more suitable.
Firefox themes need to be updated and supported and Mozilla takes care of that.
I'd love to post it here but then there will be no net-install and no automatic updates.
Sorry i have to make an exeption and release it only on the official Firefox Homepage.
I do it in order to provide all the features that Mozilla offers such as:
Reviews, older versions history, net install + version check, HTTPS, advanced preview exc.
All this features won't be available in any other way.


Hope you'll enjoy it, thanks for reading.

Comments are welcome.

LavaFox is probably the best Firefox modern theme !

Thanks Franco for the beta testing and great feedback.

I'm very honoured to have you as a beta tester and a source of inspiration!

I also hope it'll get recommended by Mozilla, so far the feedback is amazing!

Working on a new version for your review...

Thank you for your support.

Nice theme, have you made a persona too for this? Coz I would love to use the skin with other themes too.

Thanks amitsaran for the feedback. I haven't made a persona, hardly know what it means. From what i've heared it's just the toolbar and the statusbar part of a theme that can be istalled on any existing theme.

I think it'll mean to loose the animated scrollbars, throbber and statusbar, skinned menus , backgrounds exc. 

That'll be a shame ;)

Anyway, i'll have a look to learn about it.

Thanks for the idea.

I've looked at the Personas site, even registered to be able to submit. Then i found it's basicly the toolbar, the footer and a font color. I didn't like the idea to strip my theme from all the goodies..  ;) I think most themers will resist the idea.

The other problem is no control over margins at all, didn't like that also (will it tile or strech - have to guess)

maybe to create a persona from scratch can be fun experience. but to to this to my theme ... hmmmm.
