I'm hoping that the big changes--in the Options window, for example--will occur soon enough for us to make the changes to our themes in time to get them actually published to Moz Update in time for the official 1.1 release.

It'll take me no longer than a day to get caught up. :wink:

Ed and Alfred, I would be careful with this right now. Are you following what cheeaun and I are discussing about the Options panel? (Starting with the third post on <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=197355&postdays=0&postorder=asc&postsperpage=15&start=30">this page</a>.) Currently there is no way for a theme to give this full support for 1.0 unless the user places the file that contains the binding code (in this case, hbox.xml) into the <i>userprofile</i>/chrome directory. It needs to be a build that includes Ben's code changes or the button for TBP breaks if xbox.xml is placed inside the theme.

It is for things such as this why I am in no rush to include all of the 1.1 changes now. It requires maintaing two separate versions of the theme if the theme for 1.0 is expected to still work properly.

I agree with you, catThief. That is why I am hoping the devs will make their big changes early, to give us time to adapt. I have no intention of putting the new tabbed Otions look in seven theme until it is fully supported in Fx code.

What 7 theme?

ehume · Post by **ehume** » January 16th, 2005, 6:06 pm

Scribblies Brite, Kids and Plain.

SphereGnome, SphereGnome Big, SphereGnome Jumbo and the upcoming SphereGnome Extra-Large. There's also a SphereGnome Plain that I made special for one person but will not be releasing to the public.

The SphereGnome themes differ in button sizes, ranging from 24x22 to 96x96, with associated changes in scrollbars, bookmarks icons, etc.

If we had master themes, I'd just have two.

I would far prefer to make the changes earlier, that's all . . .

You know that CatThief is what?

Well, you did release the new options on your theme for 2 days but you withdrew it, it's on your site

CatThief · Post by **CatThief** » January 17th, 2005, 10:08 pm

Pikachu, what I released (and it was modified, not withdrawn) has nothing at all to do with code changes for the next final version of Firefox. So lets keep <i>this</i> thread on topic, ok?

Between 2005-02-02 and 2005-02-26, there have been 35 files changed (one with a changed name, from pref.css to preferences.css) and one file added (a second preferences.css file). I'll try to analyze them in a bit.

BTW--Themes written for Fx 1.0 cause the browser to freeze when you try to open the Options dialog.
