This is my first extension and you can get it from http://cute.mozdev.org .
Here are some screenshots:
Planned features are - Options panel
- Ability to remove (hide) specific menuitems using simple gui
- Easily select (from gui) which menuitems should have icons and to be able to change the icon (you can now change them using WinZip)
- Different icons for disabled items
The only problem I have is that I don't know how to make it change the icon when item is disabled or just making the icon not so visible, I'll appriciate any help in this direction.

Huh...this is a very nice extension that sorta came out of the blue. Never realized how out of place the ugly context menus were until I saw this. Keep up the good work ^_^

I wonder which is more important, that this extension works well and makes Firebird a bit nicer looking, or that the extension is properly named?
Either way, thanks to the author thereof.

I put together a package with qute icons, if anyone is interested...all it really is is just qute icons packed in the same package, I didn't change anything else.
I'm not sure how to set up the direct install so for now you can save it to disk from here: Qutemenu.

GANTmenu
Changed to use the GANT iconset. I also changed the install.js since it didn't want to install into my profile with the original one.

I think this is one of those extensions that needs to be incorporated into the finished browser.
Whther is is or not, you have certainly added to the collection of extensions I install on each nightly.
Thanks

This is a great extension, yes! It it until you see something working that you realised it was missing before...
Extra work for the themes designers though... I wouldn't want the context menu icons set not matching my favorite theme icon set! (Gorilla on my linux box!)
A great idea Flexer!

When my project is approved on MozDev I'll add more functionalities at the extension and provide various icon packs.
PS. Whats wrong with the CuteMenus name ?

Let me be the 2nd to whole-heartedly suggest that this get into the core code and not stay an extension. This rocks! And I think the other poster was complimenting you by saying that the name is actually good in that it accurately describes what this extension is. Anyway, good work.
