Over the years, I've heard more than a few theme developers rant about how difficult it is / can be to implement certain theme features in TMP. What I haven't ever heard, is whether or not any of them have tried discussing any of this with the TMP devs. I've never gotten the impression that onemen is a "theme kind of guy", so I don't know if coding TMP to work with themes even really hits his radar. It doesn't seem like that would be very difficult, if it was worth considering. Maybe such a discussion could result in an improved TMP that works better for all concerned... after all, it's always good to see things from the other side of the table now and then...


In response to the question about enhancements or modifications users are interested in, I have a few things I'd like to suggest:
• For extension compatibility... NoUn Buttons works great with Chromifox 2 (and falconer's earlier version), but it uses different buttons. It would be great for those of us using NoUn Buttons, if there was no discernible difference in the theme if you're using it or not.
• On my monitor, at least, the blue outline around the bookmark star looks really "smudgey". The version from Chromifox was much more subtle.
• WRT the request for other color schemes for Chromifox, I'd really love to see a more pastel incarnation. Not that crazy Miami Beach pastel loaded with pinks and greens,but something that builds off the current tab-bar colors (love the grey tab labels) and goes more towards a gentle grey, instead of the cyan/white fade.

Hi,
there is already a Tab Terror Plus and Themes thread
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=881195

By the way,
the only good Tab Terror Plus extension is a disabled Tab Terror Plus extension ;-)

Maybe this chromifox theme can be edited to be used in thunderbird too. It would look good once thunderbird 3 is out since it will have tabs.

Would there be a set of small icon in the future?
When in a laptop, It's good to have a small toolbar.

Unfortunately I have tried to make them smaller and they just don't look good at all :cry: So I gave up! They will stay at their 29x31px size. Sorry

Some bugs

Post by arielgalula »

Hello Triton, Chromifox 2 is very beautiful and clean.
I using Ubuntu 8.10 Linux and have some problem:
  1. The Activity Indicator is very big, and it look like a button, and it also always spin even after the page are loaded.
  2. There are some glitches in the edge of the tabs, especially when i open a new tab. when i switch to the bed drawing tab the glitches are dissappear.
  3. when i load a background tabs the little activity indicator in the tab are surround with tiny white line.
  4. New tab and new window button are located in the end of the window rather then close to the tabs. (Is this a problem?)
  5. New window button are don't present in "Customize Toolbar", but maybe is a firefox 3.1b2 problem.

Thanks a lot, Ariel Galula - אריאל גלולה.

For some reason, the theme only works with ChromiGlass with Chromifox Version 2.0.1 for me. In all of the other versions, the tabs are inverted vertically, so they appear upside down.

Chromifox 2 has changed the way the tabs are created. Currently ChromiGlass is not compatible with the new version.
