it's not only arvid that thinks of mozilla as arrogant in this point. but that's what mozilla is most famous for (besides of offering a very great browser): making changes without preparing the community which the latter simply have to swallow. yeah right - maybe this was necessary when changing from bird to fox - but in this case there are really no reasons i can think of for keeping the theme change in a hidden bug and so on...
it's just like bengoodger once stated: "mozilla is not a democracy" or likewise, i don't remember the location or the exact words... but i like democracies. there are a few things that HAVE to be decided, yeah. but changing the default theme is one of those who really NEED to be discussed with AS MUCH people involved as possible to get the best out of it. the look of the browser is after all a KEY FACTOR for the decision of a new user on using/throwing away firefox - if not the most important.
i'm praying for them to reconsider, but i know it's energy sacrificed in vain
i don't know how "final" the version of "winstripe" I've seen is, but if it was anywhere NEAR final it's going to be a mess, and a huge step backwards in the way firefox appeals to new users.
arvid, i really encourage you to keep offering qute - compared to winstripe i would even pay for it
no offence to the designers of winstripe, but ... arvid's done a better job... really...
