Description
i won't update this theme, i don't have any more use for it, cuz i don't use firefox anymoreif you want to have an "update" wait for AP-Graphics theme
(SoftFox mockup ) or for spewboy to include a soft7 option in stratiform (Stratiform 1.1 )
preview of the firefox theme i'm working on at the moment (for fiefox 3.6)
(i started creating this theme in order to match with my favourite windows 7 vs: Soft7 2.0 BETA 1 by AP-GRAPHIK )
things which should be followed when using the alpha:
use application button style7
use default tabs or tabs on top (white)
for haveing no titlebar, use the addon titlebar tweaks 1.8.3.6 and create a emplty icon in the folder Mozilla Firefox\chrome\icons\default and name it main-window.ico
what needs to be done:
buttons will be redone, they shouldn't have the same background as the adress bar
most likely i will redo the tabs
known bugs:
in tabs on top the firefox button is 1 px to low
in tabs on top with non transparent background there is a (not very good looking) line in the the navigation bar
small navigation buttons aren't done yet.
coding of the theme (and parts of the theme, i didn't edit): SpewBoy + Redux Team
author of some images: AP-GRAPHIK

Looks great. Would like to use it, but is not compatible with FF 4 b7

i made it based on a friefox 3.6 skin, so of course it isn't campatible with ff4, i will eventually update it, when ff4 is in final or so, but i'm not sure if i will do so

It would be great if you could encourage yourself to do a skin for ff4. The 4b7-release is said to be a final in perspektive of the design. So, perhaps, you could ...

Hey, do you wish some little help to refine the graphics in it ? I'm approaching the end of Soft7 so most of the things that could be useful for you in this skin are already done, we could also share some psd or png directly (I don't know if a Firefox skin needs png with alpha channel like Windows 7...).
And just now I think of working on a mockup to see how I could do some things, to both match Soft7 and to be great with Firefox ^^
I know that Firefox 3.6 approach the end of its life (well, not so close ^^), but it could be a good start and in the future we could port it to FF 4
What do you think ? You're the maker of this theme above all, I did Soft7 and I'll eventually do some graphics but I can't do the code (absolutely not ^^).
Anyway I'll work on some mockups from today to see how things could go, I'll keep you in touch

the png in firefox doesn't need alpha channels, if you want to give me the psd files it would be better, since the adressbar in firefox (especially this theme) needs to be done in a different way
about the coding in firefox, i'm not that good with it (i took the skin spewboy and Redux Team made and edited the graphics in it), while editing it i learned a bit about coding in firefox, but it isn't enough to create a complete theme on my own. so for firefox 4 i'll need to wait for a matching ff 4 skin and reskin it

i will try to make something similar when firefox 4 final is out
i don't like to use pre release versions of firefox

Hi mate, very good mod of the Strata40 !
any future version in approche?
about the theme, it doesn't save the color I choose when I restart the browser, any Idea?
π: 0 β©: 1
future versions are planned, but i'm not done
you mean that it doesn't save the background color? for me this works without any problems
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay mate !
About the color, it's everytime I restart my browser ! The color is the default one and when I look at the Theme Options in the StrataBuddy the silver one is chosen. I must switch to Royale for example to change the Color again.

how do you change the go back/forward arrows?
π: 0 β©: 1
you should have realized how to install the theme (drag both xpi files in firefox and click install)
to combine the url bar and reload go stop button you need to click the firefox button and then theme options there are the options you need.
π: 0 β©: 1
yes i know that, i just cant figure out how to change the arrows, i drag theme in to addons, only strata theme, no arrows, what wrong?
π: 0 β©: 1
the back and forward arrows should be there after you installed the modified version of strat40 (even without stratabuddy)
i don't see any reason the arrows shouldn't be there
maybe it would help if you post a screenshot
which version of firefox are you useing? are you using other addon which modify the appearance of firefox? do you see the arrows when you use the original strat40 theme?

hi! amazing theme! But i can't clear understand where to create an empty icon... In firefox\chrome folder i have no icons folder... Explain it plz once more time
π: 0 β©: 1
if the folder doesn't exsist you have to create the folder icons and inside you have to create the folder default and there you create the empty icon
π: 0 β©: 1
Hi, it's me again... mb I'm stupid or something else but i've created Firefox\chrome\icons folders and there i've created main-window.ico and i still have Firefox's icon in the toolbar... How i must create this main-window.ico? from what?
π: 0 β©: 1
you have to create the folder firefox/chrome/icons/default and there you have to create the icon
π: 0 β©: 1
Thx for you patience bro... but i've done everything you've said but there is no result... I've installed the addon Titlebar Tweaks 1.8.3.6 and created those folders and... and there is no result... Pleaaaase man, can you do some screenshots of yours folders... I really want thing to go right... With tears on my eyes i'm begging you...

Very nice! I can't find the right way to word this question, but in your address bar you have

Awesome theme for Firefox!!
I just want to ask...can you create another theme like this in Nordstorm form [link] ???
π: 0 β©: 0
Such an awesome theme, I'm using Soft 7 as well and this just completes me theme
π: 0 β©: 0
looks great!
would be nice to offer some buttons like here: [link]
π: 0 β©: 1
sorry, bad link
i meant this: [link]
π: 0 β©: 1
sry, but i won't create navigation buttons that look like those you posted, i don't think that they would fit in the theme
π: 0 β©: 1
ok, great theme anyway, using it...
π: 0 β©: 1
it's not so hard to do this yourself, just rename the xpi file to zip and in the folder chrome/browser you need to edit the image nav-buttons.png, the first pair of button inside the file is normal button, second not available, 3. hover, 4. pressed

i made it: [link]
thank you once again!

really nice! the firefox button needs to be higher and the edges around the nav bar on the second image needs to be more rounded like in strata 4.0
π: 0 β©: 1
the edges around the navbar will stay square, the round edges didn't look good, when i removed the all tabs button.
about the firefox button, you are right in tabs on top the button i 1 pixel to low. i will look into a solution to fix this

Excellent work!
On XP, will the theme match the current visual style (like with Strata40) or will it just be white?
π: 0 β©: 1
i never thougt about xp, because i created the theme in order to match my windows 7 visual style (i will add a link in the desciption). the default tab option should look acceptable on xp, but when using my tabs on top version it looks a bit strange
concerning the background, it should behave just like strata40, because my theme is based on strata40 and stratabuddy

where have u taken third red icon on the taskbar ? (ccleaner)
π: 0 β©: 1
it's selfmade (like the teamspeak icon and aion icon)
π: 0 β©: 1
good ... I like the icon

No, I meant integrated transparency with Vista/7. Opera came first. n.n
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, no. Internet Explorer was first, with a rather weak integration, but then there was Glasser for Firefox, i think that was the name of the first one, the addon that made the Firefox default theme glassy. Opera only had that in version 10, which is rather recent.
π: 0 β©: 0
Very awesome!!!
But, you do know of course that the Opera browser had mastered this way before Firefox could even dream of doing so, right?

thanks
if you are talking about tabs on top, google chrome was the first browser with tabs on top
but i don't really care about tabs on top, i just wanted to play a bit with it, since strata40/stratabuddy, which i'm using as a base, has tabs on top as a feature
