this theme was made for people with higher resolution, if you read the rest of the thread. they wanted huge icons.

I find it only necessary to use back-fwd, new tabs, reload, go, and print. Sometimes i'll throw in Home and or new window - for looks. If you display only what you use, they will all fit.

For those who suggested BIG buttons - THANK YOU!!!! I'm really liking these big buttons!! I keep running my cursor back and forth over them, just to see them react!!! I'm only at 1024x768 but - I don't care!!! I love them!!

I see the throbber is sitting low - for those who use it. There is a throbber replacement being made right now. If it turns out right, it will be a realistic blazing sun with sun flares/arch. It may not fit the theme, but I think it would be cool (hot!). It's hard to find a suitable throbber.

Then again, since getting cable, last week - I hardly ever get to see the throbber in action as the page loads almost instantly!

something like this first effort: Image

got it thanks....

Found two bugs....
1. The X button for the tabs disappear when you hover over it.
2. When a page is being loaded you hover over the stop button it shifts to the left. I guess since lynchknot has cable he wouldnt notice this :)

Nice theme.

Cheers,

OH MY!!!

Oh my oh my oh my! (as my mother used to say).

Installed Acuarela. Big. Colorful. Pretty. Big. Did I mention big?

Then unchecked the Small Icons. OH MY!!! Now THIS is a theme for people with 1600x1200 screens! The icons still seem big with that resolution on my monitor, but I imagine that with 1600x1200 on a laptop, they'll be perfect.

Exquisite.

Thanks chrookee, your are right. By the time I get my cursor up to the stop icon, the page is already loaded. Two solutions would be for me to post the correct "address" for the icon or send out a revised editition of the theme - depends on David as he might be getting sick of me! (I have sent multiple versions to him already! LOL! Thanks for reporting the bugs.

It's ok, Ken :)
Don't take my "complaints" too seriously. Until you get your own web storage, keep sending the themes. But you could start sending the .jar's instead, which would force me to implement the scripts for that.

Well that would make things a little easier. I wouldn't have to edit install JS. What do you mean by "force you to implement scripts"?

I'm in love. I've been running with this on my linux machine all day long (and phoenity beyond on my lower resolution windows machine). It's fantastic. Big, beautiful targets for my really poor laptop pointing device.
