It's a theme called Noir. I enhanced Windows XP Pro with a total customization and reconfigured the operating system for better performance. I had a theme disc that was part of the customization package I used and Noir is one of the many themes that was on it.

I could send the theme to you on AIM or something if you'd like.

Man that would be fantastic! They look like they were made for each other. I'm on AIM right now as mcdavis941

Also, did you look at using subskin "style-0" with Firefox and my theme? I think it would make the Firefox main toolbar blend in even more. See URL chrome://global/skin/extras/subskins.html for more about that.

I didn't get your AIM nick but I'll be on today too (on and off -- I tend to reboot a lot).

I'm not usually a fan of dark themes, but this theme is by far one of the snazziest and most well-designed I've seen lately. Not only is it very well done, but so much of it is integrated together visually, that it is just a marvel to use. Thanks so much!

One point, though. I concur with a previous poster that having smaller icons for the toolbar settings would be the only suggestion I could make. Keep up the great work, and thanks again for this theme.

@AlyM: I'm not familiar with Favicon Picker 2. Here's a screenshot of what I see. Is this the problem you're talking about?

Image

Also, is Favicon Picker supposed to change the favicon as displayed in the browser tab and URL bar, or just when displayed in the Bookmarks list?

Thanks.

Thank YOU! It's great to hear about people enjoying it.

I agree. Small icons will have to be done, eventually.

Thanks for the feedback. It's always welcome.

New way to add the launch background image to empty tabs. This new way still gets the job done but also avoids putting in the background of the Interclue extension pop-up. This goes in file <b>userContent.css</b> (and not userChrome.css).

Code: Select all

@-moz-document  url(about:blank) {
  html:not([class]) {
  background: url("chrome://global/skin/watermarks/about.blank.sts116-s-021.v010.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed black !important;
  }
}


Update 2009-May-20: The use of userContent.css to style empty tabs with NASA Night Launch is now un-recommended. There's a better way using Stylish. See this post later in this thread for full details.

New customization to style the about:mozilla page.

  html {
    background: url("chrome://global/skin/watermarks/about.blank.sts116-s-021.v010.jpg") no-repeat -200px -142px fixed black !important;
    margin-right: 1em !important;
    color: #bbb3a7 !important;
  }

  #moztext {
    font-family: Georgia,serif !important;
    text-align: right !important;
    margin-left: 30% !important;
    margin-top: 90px !important;
  }

  .f,
  em,
  strong {
    color: white !important;
  }

  #from {
    font-family: Georgia,serif !important;
    text-align: right !important;
    margin-left: 30% !important;
  }

}

That's one sumptuous "about:mozilla" page! Breath-taking! No joke... I looked at that screenie and realised I had to remind myself to breathe!

I just can't FIND adjectives nor superlatives enough to describe this theme. That's all I can say!

Amicalement,
