The Noia(extreme) theme for firefox still seems so much better.

[lynchknot]

Gee thanks. Do you ever think that someone may have different taste? I don't like colorful "cartoonish" icons on my browser. It distracts from the webpage. Who taught you manners anyway - you're embarrasing

IMO much better than Noia

I rotate my Firefox Themes about every three days. Many good ones out there.

That looks nice Lynchknot. I like the dark color.

[lynchknot]

It appears, with few exception, that graphic artists appreciate simplicity and minimalism. I have noticed, upon posting in "art" boards and "tech" boards, that many "tech geeks" prefer more colors and require more visual cues for icons - to satisfy their preference.

[nadirah]

Yes, but I still prefer themes like Noia(extreme) or some other themes with bright colours. I don't find your theme's colour nice. Because its dark coloured, it looks the same as the grey sky when it's gonna rain. ::)::)::)::)::)

i like it, but i dont like the minimize, maximize and close buttons. :)

I'm using windows classic to show what is skinned. You should know that minimize, maximize and close is skinned by your operating system, not by browser theme.

for those who don't realize it, this is a modified emulation of Mac's Safari browser. This theme has evolved from a near identical emulation of Macintosh's Safari browser - http://www.apple.com/safari/

you learn something new every day ;D i dont use FF themes, but i have about 20 windows themes, if i used FF themes i might have noticed. not a good excuse i know ::)

You know, i'm not fishing for comments - especially negative. I'm making an announcment of work in progress and soon to be release. Why do you find it necessary to impose your preference on my thread? I could care less what you like. I have some 30 colorful themes to update but I like the plain minimalist themes at this time. I can make themes exactly like Noia - themes are very easy to make - it's finding icons that appeal to me that is important. I don't like cartoon icons. I've outgown childish type images I suppose.

Noia is a great theme but it's not my preference and should not even be discussed on my thread. Your comments are off topic.

If you don't have something nice or, at least, contructive to say - go away. Do you think your comments are going to somehow convert me to your way of thinking - your preference? What you are doing is antagonizing - and I do not appreciate it.

This is one of my more colorful yet not cartoonish themes that have not been updated for Fx 1.0 yet - much more professional looking images

and my gant theme that borders on "cartoonish" - well......it is therefore I don't like it much...http://home.comcast.net/%7Eno404/gantsft.png

[lynchknot]

I made a slim and trim findbar field to match. IMO thin looks bettter - icons for the bar are next

I like!!

[lynchknot]

RE-EVOLUTION theme is available at my site now. Please know that this is still a "work in progress" (beta). There are some missing elements and icons need work. I want to release now as Christmas is near and I have other things to do - so it will be a while before this is complete. Thanks.

Lynchknot,

I'm giving it a go. I use the classic desktop in XP. I do try to keep the toolbar as small as possible.

Any way to have the scroll bar turn blue as the other icons do?

I like it!

[bigc73542]

Lynchknot, it looks as if you are doing a very good job.
It is good to see some talent.

Ronjor please note: -{ Quote: "Please know that this is still a "work in progress" (beta). There are some missing elements and icons need work" }-

There will be scrollbars. The bookmark icon I see on your toolbar is not addressed (css) correctly - and it's designed for the bookmark toolbar as well.

Thanks BigC - :)

[ronjor]

Very good effort Lynchknot. I like it better than any of the other themes I've used.

[lynchknot]

Some things to do:

1. improve icons
2. fix bookmark icon css
3. make "broken lock" URL images
4. theme scrollbars
5. match findbar with statusbar
6. make new images for findbar
7. make new images for statusbar
8. fix progressmeter
9. i'm sure there's more...

Do you mean back "history"? If you do then just right click the back/foward button for drop down history menu.

[fred22]

[lynchknot]

[Rainwalker]

OK...i like them....went to your site to download and nothing..............can not get anything...maybe your server was down :(
Good job and thank you ;)

[lynchknot]

My site is hosted in the U.K. Admin (Geffy) of server had this to say:
-{ Quote: "From what I can tell by a DNS trace some of the US ROOT-SERVERS arent getting some information properly which could cause an issue with people getting to the domain. This could also be the cause of not being able to get to other sites but depends more on your ISPs nameservers. If you are using a proxy then the requests would go through the proxy and whichever nameservers the proxy is using." }-

-{ Quote: "Now testing background and tabs (only reload icon is new at this time):

Buck.

[eisefr]

Hmmmmmmm

Looks pretty close to what I am using already... Just different named... :-)

[Rainwalker]

-{ Quote: "My site is hosted in the U.K. Admin (Geffy) of server had this to say:" }-
ok....then most likely i'm blocking it....thanks for getting back....any chance of sending your themes to Firefox so they could post them at their site :-\

[lynchknot]

-{ Quote: "Hmmmmmmm

No, eisefr - not even close. The glyphs are the same (because many icons in your screenshot I made and gave permission to use - also, I created that theme long before "saferfox" did. I was too busy making new themes to update/improve it..so he did) but the icons are different - so are all text fields and background skin. Do you think all two door automobiles look the same - "Just different named" :D
