Announcing Miint – A Tasty Firefox Theme
I’m happy to announce Miint, a flat, small, green & gray Firefox theme.
Miint was created with two things in mind, the first of which was the color green. Green is a color that I like a lot and one that I hadn’t worked into a theme yet. I also liked the look of Mint stats and OrderedList so I used them for inspiration and colors when creating Miint.
Size was the other factor. I have this crazy idea that the size of the elements in a Firefox theme can effect the browser speed. Not when loading a page, but when launching the browser, creating new windows or possibly when opening the preferences box. So I avoided using images where I could and tried just CSS. I compressed files and threw out those that were unnecessary. Will it make a difference? Not sure, but it can’t hurt.
You can find out a bit more about Miint from the official Miint page.

I like your theme, but I have some reservations on the sizes of the bookmarks toolbar.
I think it shouldhave more padding.
If you have the tabbar at the bottom, a subtle delimiter from the status bar would work.
Also, some of the icons(gmail manager for example) loose from their appearance.
Other than that, it is very enjoyable. Thanks
How do you get the bookmarks or tab bar at the bottom??
Hey, green’s my favorite color too! But I’m using iPox Aqua now
I love the feel of this theme, but I absolutely hate green! Any possibility of creating Miint in other colours?
No plans for colors at this time, but IF I did, what color?
i absolutely love the simplicity and the flat feel of this theme! I also hope u can make it into more colours…maybe like a series? blue, red, green, yellow, dark, white….it would be awesome! thanx a lot!
Know of any complementary Windows XP themes/VSs to the Miint FF theme?
Jon, I’m not on Windows so I can’t help there.
I’m a big fan of this theme. Please try Miint with some other colors. Maybe blue, or red?
I ended up using the Reluna theme with the Olove color scheme. Check it out:

Jonathan, I’ll consider other colors in future updates. But don’t hold your breath.
Any plans to update this theme to support 3.0b+?
I’ve gone through over a dozen desktop and laptops in the past year and I always revert back to this theme. But now I’m running Swiftfox 3.0bpre4 and I’m thinking of switching back to Firefox just because this theme is not compatible
Miint will get updated sometime. However, probably not until Firefox gets into release candidates.
Excellent theme. One small issue though. I cannot switch between themes and extensions. I use all-in-one side bar which may be the conflict. This problem occurs on both Windows and Ubuntu.
You might not have realized this, but this theme matches exactly with the default Linux Mint 8 theme. Even down to the button styles. Great job; the perfect complement to my fresh new OS!
Good to hear!
love this theme sooo much! Now that I have FF 3.6 I cant use it anymore, updates would be loved, I don’t know what to do without it :O
When will your Miint be updated to be compatible with Firefox 3.6? It’s been disabled since I’ve upgraded.
Yes, Thomas, please update!
The new Linux Mint 9 matches just as well, and it came with FF 3.6 and now I’m stuck with the boring default FF theme.
Just wanted to know, if you will update Miint for Firefox 3.6 – it’s my favorite theme, so I will stick to 3.5 as long as you won’t
With thanks and best wishes, A
Miint is my favorite theme, I remember last update I was upset to go so long without it. This time, I was forced to upgrade to Firefox 3.6 because of a new computer, but I did not want to solely because this theme is not yet available. I really hope you will update the theme, it brings calm when I’m feeling hectic, it feels like home.
Either way, thank you for creating this theme. It’s very nice. Good job.
