Okay, so I went through, and edited the whole thing. I got it to install, but when I switched to it, it was basically like the default theme, anyone know why?

On windows? Highlight your folders, right click and send to compressed (zipped) folder. Then rename it from zip to jar. You may also need to do the control panel trick as listed in the post.

OOOOHHHh that’s why, how do I make a zip file instead of a rar file (as I have been making)

I did but the folders in the 3.6 structure like you said and change the UUID and I am not too sure about the 3rd step Rodnox said.

Rodnox is right. Check those items and let us know.

Well, 3 possible problems.
1.) U have not changed the UUID
2.) The Version in the “install.rdf”-File is wrong
or
3.) You have packed the folder rather than just the files.

well, I’m not a computer guy and I know nothing about programming…I’m actually rather proud of myself that I at least managed to install the theme, after a lot of struggle…
Thanks anyway!

Well .. a bit common sense is required.

I know most of the Themes are messed up, but with a bit will and patience you will find what piece of graphic is for what function.

Other than that, I can’t help/

Yeah, I changed to 3.5 and changed the UUID as well, and actually managed to get it installed, hooraaay! But now I’m stuck… Can’t figure out how to modify things, I want to use my own buttons, change colours and background and stuff…but how!? (

Oh yeah, didn’t think about the versions.

Yes, you have to change the install.rdf. It says there (3.2a1pre) or similar. You have to change it to 3.5.*

Did you also change the UUID?

It won’t install. ( Is there a way to make it compatible with Firefox 3.5.2.? Or do I have to install an older version, and in that case how old? /

In recent versions they have changed the behaviour of the theme system. You don’t zip the folder with the files and folders inside, you enter the folder and zip all the files directly.

An error keeps popping up saying “Install file not found-204″ when I try to install it, but the install.rdf is there, whats wrong?

Hello I get this error:

“iPox Remix” could not be installed due to an error in its Install Manifest ( “11111111-1111-1111-1111-11111111111 ()” is not a valid GUID). Please contact the author of this element of the problem.

Why??
