I was encouraged to post information about a new theme I am working on. I have it available for installation, but be warned that it is still not complete.
<img src="http://alazanto.org/lebreeze/lebreeze-large.gif" alt="preview lebreeze theme"/>
As the name implies, I started out with Flyson's Breeze theme when building this, so some credit should certainly go towards his work.
The information page is located here:
<a href="http://alazanto.org/lebreeze/">http://alazanto.org/lebreeze/</a>
If you are interested in the theme, or might have recommendations about its development, I would encourage comments. Also, people seem interested in me producing a Thunderbird theme. I will have a look at the CSS to see how large of a project this would be. Hopefully tonight I can add a mail icon to the mix.

Very nice
Working great so far so.
It’s a keeper as far as I am concerned.
I will have to keep an eye out for your final draft of it.
Any chance of a TB mate for it in the future?
Thanks a lot for a nice utility type theme.
Now that Lynchknot is closing his site there are slim pickings for this
type of theme which I personally like best of all.

I think the nav buttons should be smaller like breeze so that all the buttons can be put on the menu bar. The beauty of breeze is that it is so compact, perfect for people like me who have a resolution of 1024x768.

The screenshot shows the "large icons" which are sized at 20 x 20 pixels. I also have smaller icons at 16 x 16 pixels just for this reason.
I'm still going through the code to see how the new mail button is different. I just downloaded the latest build, however, I am still unsure as to whether I have the time to support nightly builds.
I will also fool around with the menu bar a little, but I am still more interested in usability than compactness. This theme has different goals than breeze - its aimed at web developers looking for a usable, but color neutral theme for viewing their work.
Thank you everyone for the comments!

Updates

The theme now supports the latest nightly build (with the bindings update and mail icon). In addition, I drew icons for the web developer toolbar.

adding
will give a much smaller appearance when the nav stuff is on the menu bar
Code: Select all
#toolbar-menubar #page-proxy-deck,
#toolbar-menubar #search-proxy-button {
margin: 0px;
}
will give a much smaller appearance when the nav stuff is on the menu bar

Two questions:
1.) For you, does the text for the mail button still appear to the right of the icon, or does the text appear underneath the icon like all other toolbar buttons?
2.) What bindings update was necessary for the latest nightly builds? I use milestone releases... Do my themes (Apollo, iCandy Junior, Neptune, Playground, and Smoke) work well with the latest nightly builds???

Hello Aaron,
Using my current build (post 3/20), the only issue I ran into (while testing smoke) was that the icons I had placed by the bookmarks toolbar didn't quite fit - as if the toobar had an absolute height with no overflow specified.
As for the bindings, I just made sure that (for instance):
.menulist-compact {
-moz-binding: url("chrome://global/content/widgets/menulist.xml#menulist-compact");
}
was turned into
.menulist-compact {
-moz-binding: url("chrome://global/content/bindings/menulist.xml#menulist-compact");
}
As for the mail icon, the text still appears to the right... The button seems to be a real odd ball when compared with the others. The "button" is a toolbarbutton-menu rather than a normal toobarbutton[type="menu-button"] (like the forward and back buttons)
My guess is that one would need to specify that any element with a class selector of "toolbarbutton-menu" with an id of "mail-button" would need a -moz-box-orient: veritical;
Now I just need to figure out how to implement that.

Oh yeah, the /bindings/ & /widgets/ game from the 0.7 to 0.8 transition, gotcha.
I will look into the bookmark toolbar height problem you said. If you figure out how to -moz-box-orient: vertical the mail-button, let me know. I tried to specify it with the !important flag for the code I used to skin the button, but no luck with that.
