Phoenity Modern 0.5.20060212 (February 12, 2006)
Sun Java reports that the version 0.5.20060212 .JAR file is corrupt; it can't install the theme.

My apologies!! Although it is true that the installed JRE reports that the file is corrupt, I should not be attempting to install the theme by running the Java console (-?-). It works if I use Firefox Tools -> Themes to call up the list of installed themes, and use the Install button to point to the file for the theme that I want to install.

The concealment setting is quietly taught you.
If you add the following code to your user.js file, you can get the Extension/Theme local installation button on Add-on Manager.
Code: Select all
user_pref("extensions.hideInstallButton", false);

I just noticed this thread. Man oh man! I've always been a big fan of Phoenity Modern. Just installed it and am using it on:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060714 BonEcho/2.0b1 - Build ID: 2006071404
I'll be installing it on XP (whenever I get around to logging on to XP).

Still not working (or at least not as well as it should)
I've tried all of your suggestions, and the theme still won't install. I can't even get the "install" button someone mentioned - and anyway, in firefox 1.5.0.4, there is no "add-on manager." There are two separate managers, one for extensions and one for themes. Any ideas?

Hold that thought. When someone said drag and drop, I thought they meant you could drag the link into an open firefox window - not that you had to drag it into the theme manager. It works if you actually drag the link from the webpage into the theme manager. But why is this required? And where in the world is my install button? (I'd like one, but I can't seem to find it)
I've been to these forums many times before, but never bothered to join before now. As this is my first post, I would like to humbly thank this community for existing - it's provided invaluable assistance to me countless times.

That was for the Bon Echo builds as in for example the Firefox 2.0 Beta 1 test release meant for testers/developers who did not want to tangle with nightlies. In Firefox 2.0 (coming out in fall) both Extensions and Themes will be under one manager Tools->Add-ons. The extensions.hideInstallButton preference will not work on 1.5.0.*
You are using the stable 1.5.0.4 which is what most users should use until they understand at least the basics of separate installs and profiles if you want to try a nighty.
To get a install button in Themes manager in Firefox 1.5.0.4 you could try the "Install New Theme" (aka: Themer) extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/496/
The "MR Tech Local Install" will put in a Install button in both Extensions and Themes manager in Firefox 1.5.0.4 among other things. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/421/

Thank you for your cooperation.
My explanation does not seem to have been enough.
I think that "MR Tech Local Install" is for the power user.
"Install New Theme" only adds the install button to Themes manager.
I recommend "Install New Theme".
If you are unnecessary the install button icon of "Install New Theme", add the following code to your userChrome.css file.
