a picture from a test version of one of my next GrApple themes http://www.takebacktheweb.org ,
which has more less a complete outlook for Firefox 3.0
on the picture:
1. It is a screenshot with the current (unfinished) theme - created together
with a special Firefox version, which has already the upcoming Unified Toolbar patch
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303110
(The limitation not to add a gradient on the title-bar enforce a compromise -
the top is a little bit darker than usual for a (Leopard) Unified Toolbar
design and at the bottom is it more brightly as usual)
2. the final 3.0 version will have the new Star Button inside the location bar
- makes it then as well possible to create a cleaner location bar
3. with the missing 3.0 features on the sidebar - to compare

4. to show the search-bar feature - the search-go button (the orange button)
appears only when it is necessary
and as well the tab-scroll feature
5. Places - the current state
6. Places - with the missing stuff - to compare http://tinyurl.com/3b44jd
and
many, many thanks to Colin Barrett. Without his hard work over
some months to find and build a Unified Toolbar solution would it be impossible
to create a good theme which fit well in Mac 10.4 and 10.5 and least of all
would fit well in both systems.
and
the upcoming unified toolbar patch (it is Mac only) makes it possible to use every color for the title-bar a theme want - a huge improvement which makes complete different themes possible - i build likely a complete blue theme later.
and
by the way the next Mac default theme will looks similar - here are some Mock-Ups
