Oooops..... missed this.
Well, what to add? BMV and Metal Lion 2 probably will not become public themes again, if only because of the 'been there, done that' factor.
It's worth mentioning that the only pleasure that I get from making themes is, er, actually designing, creating and making the graphics, so once that bit is done ........... Plus, I am now supposed to be an ex-themer these days.
...which I will be immediately contradicting by now announcing the soon arrival of my latest theme, working title, 'Metal Lion Necromancer' (no idea where I dreamt that up from and I'm sure it will change.
)
This is one
mother of a dark theme that I started back in May (?) which is 50% done and then summer began and my attention was diverted (as usual) to outdoor pursuits and also my garden (I grow lots of dahlias, flowers, veg, etc). With the weather now cooling slightly and the draw of the great outdoors waning somewhat, now is the time to finish this one, I think.
Against my better judgement, I'll probably release it on Addons first. To be quite honest with you the real reason for this is, if you only release brand new themes on your own website, then some bugger of a theme ripper comes along, puts it on Addons (as CatThief found out) and tries to claim it as their own! Sad, but true and just one of the many reasons why there are not better Firefox themes about.
So...a mixture of all sorts of Metal Lion type news for you.
Hope that answer your question and apologies again for totally missing your second post here.
