Sharebird,

This is a great theme and a favorite along with Modern Pinball. I agree with you and like the rounded URL bar without the star button. One suggestion: the background color for the Options menu and for the password dialog boxes is still the default beige and does not go well with the silver gray color scheme you are using. There is a clash when you pull up the options menu or a dialog box. Your Theme and Extensions manager boxes are fine, however. If you could change the background color of the options and password dialogs to be the same as you are using on the theme and extensions dialogs -- then it would be near perfect.

Hi denro,

Thanks!

I started to do something on this theme just 5 days ago!!! My intention was to make it installable on Firefox. The theme looks great on Flock (is the default theme, a great work from Gelrich and Horlander and the Flock devs), but has some issues on Firefox.

If I get permissions to port it, I will for sure try to adapt it for Firefox. The first step is to check the functionability. After this, the general appearance. Of course I have my preferences (I don't like Native Theme Rendering, for example) and will try to skin the more elements as possible.

Your suggestions are very, very appreciated. It's difficult for me to check all the sections and look what is working and what is not... So I can have some directions for my ToDo list :-)

As you can notice reading the thread, it is not intended as a "release". It's just a sketch from a "maybe theme" for Firefox. There are a lot of branding elements on it and the devs are kindly studying how it could be possible for me to make this port.

If it will ever released, it will be possibly after 1.5 Final Release.

If you can get the star button to work with del.icio.us, I will refer to you as genius.

Thanks for the tip that a modern pinball for TBird is in initial release. My theme favorites are now the Flock theme for Firefox and modern pinball for Thunderbird. Both are beautiful. Charamel on Thunderbird looks excellent also, but does not work with the new options menu in the trunk versions of Tbird.

I hope that the original authors of Flock theme give their permission for this excellent port to Firefox. The port, as far as it has gone, is beautifully done.

Just found a nice userChrome.css hack from pile0nades

Code: Select all

/* Combine the stop and reload buttons button */
#stop-button[disabled="true"] {
  display:none;
}

#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button {
  display:none;
}


Important: Place your stop button before the reload button...

@zevious,

Can you provide a link with this problem??

[edit] - shame on me... :oops:

I've fixed this issue a long time ago on my personal theme (which is based on Charamel) and forgot to insert on this one...
