Better yet, if you have the time, could you spread out your procedure ? A couple of generic steps or something...

Ok... bubble to the brain...

HughHyatt, Fantastic man, just POed at myself for not even looking.

Edit: FF31 works as before. I reverted to the default theme, upgraded to 31, then installed the modded .xpi by opening it as a file.

Curiously though. When I tried CC 25 I couldn't even install it. But it worked (brokenly) when I moved a profile to a post australis firefox.

@avada

Microfox isn't as cutsy as Classic Compact but it is compact and in some ways, it does remind me of CC.

The good thing about it, is the fact that the dev has been pretty faithful at updating for quite a few years now.

I'd appreciate if Ken would post ANY news about status update. Been long time since first alpha release in winter, long time since i've seen him posting something about new version. So far many but not all things i could replicate using via Stylish extension and some style set + few extensions, but should i fiddle with it more, or wait for CC :/. I don't know if CC is kept worked or dropped, and if a1 will be last version and another great theme/extension has kicked the bucket (like Whitehart, from which i had to switch to CC in similar firefox 4.0 breakage).

Hi!
Can you share your customizations? Particularly: how to get down the menubar, tabbar urlbar to similar sizes as with CC? (Without breakage or overlapping stuff, etc)

One thing that FF32 breaks is that the go back/go forwards/reload/bookmark entries in the right-click menu are now icons (all on one line, at the top) instead of textual entries. Since CC has no icons you just get empty buttons (but the mouse-over works...so you can find each one)

Hey, this is totally OT but I just wanted to give a shout-out because I think your avatar pic is cool. For anyone who doesn't know, that's from something like the first three microseconds of one of the early atomic bomb tests, shot with an ultra-high-speed camera. Those spikes are the guy wires from the tower the bomb was on, vaporizing. The first time I saw that pic, probably on Wikipedia, I just stared at it for like 15 minutes, because .. wow. Scary stuff.

That is all. Carry on. :)

Greetings,
Can you give me some kind of time frame when we might see a new version of Classic Compact for Australis?

As far as I can tell, the author has not been active in this thread for over a year.

Is this abandonware now?

I check back periodically, but have little hope at this point.

I'm thinking Mozilla switched to Australis just to throw off the theme developers and force everyone to use the default look. The browser is getting less customizable in every version.

Sounds like gnome dev mindset. "We know better what you need", "that's why we will break up everything that was good and you got used to".
I still hope for author to drop a line about his intentions. Even announcing end of work on this theme would be better then keeping everyone in dark, as then users can start sooner seeking alternatives.
