Good catch Tweek. I actually saw that yesterday afternoon too. I’ll research it and get it fixed.
Thanks or reporting it.

Cool. And it has “Slightly re-wokred tabs with new highlight color.” Awesome. I just downloaded it.

Thomas, this theme is GREAT! There is nothing else like it.
Is this a bug? http://www.oswn.com/images/ipox.101.jpg
See the greyed box around the tab close buttons?
Also the incomplete “Install” and “Find Updates” buttons in the sidebar?
Thank you for your wonderful work on this theme.

Marty, I’m not sure what’s up with your tabs. What extensions are you running that might edit how the tabs work? Also, the All in One sidebar is having issues wit the theme. I’ll have to look into that.
- Thomas November 11th, 2006 at 9:32 am

Thanks for the theme! It looks even better than v 0.70! It makes firefox a pleasure to use! Good work!

Thomas, I think I know what is causing the gray boxes around those tab close buttons Marty is talking about. The All-in-One sidebar did that to my tabs, too.
- how November 18th, 2006 at 7:39 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Windows 2000
Gray boxes around those tab close buttons is probably due to tab mix plus. Turn off the background color in it’s settings.
- Thomas November 19th, 2006 at 12:17 am

I can’t find a setting in TMP to turn off the background color?
Do you know where it is?
Thanks.
- Marty November 19th, 2006 at 3:38 am

Marty - Go to TMP’s website or ask in the Mozilla form. I don’t use it so I’m unsure.
- Thomas November 19th, 2006 at 10:22 am

pls let me know if its a bug.
the ‘back’ or ‘forward’ buttons when active, seem to cause a jangling effect. the buttons seem to resize unequally.
- Arun November 20th, 2006 at 3:23 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Windows XP
Arun - I haven’t heard that issue. Do you have any extensions that effect how your back and forward buttons work? Or anything in the toolbar?
- Thomas November 20th, 2006 at 6:40 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
as you may be able to see http://arun.nallan.googlepages.com/home…. the only other extension’s toolbar buttons i have are: IE View, Media Player Connectivity, Web Developer.
The issue is when i try to hover over the back or forward buttons, when they are active, … they seem to cause a shaky effect, which is probably due to unequal back or forward buttons which appear during the hover.
Is there anything that I can do to avoid this? I have stylish enabled, but I do not think I have manipulated anything that relates directly to the images of the toolbar buttons.
- Arun November 21st, 2006 at 3:26 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Windows XP
Arun - I checked on Mac and PC and there are no issues with the back and forward buttons so it leaves me to believe it’s an extension interference or something about the way you have customized your setup. Unfortunately I don’t know.
- Thomas November 21st, 2006 at 7:06 pm

Also, is there a way we can strip the blue in the progress bar in the tab, because I already have it as green using TMP, but this theme puts blue over that, and it’s a bit bizarre looking.
- Anna November 27th, 2006 at 3:08 am
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
did my first comment not go through? I said that I love iPox, but is there any way I can change the images that comprise of the scrollbar and arrows so that they’re not blue? (i hate the blue). If not, is there any way you could make us a graphite version of the theme? I’ve already customized iPox as much as I wanted to using Stylish.

Thanks.
- Anna November 27th, 2006 at 3:23 am
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Thanks for the input Anna. I’ll have to look at TMP issues as there are a lot of them. As for a graphite version, there is not one planned. If you want all the code to go along with creating your own scrollbars, I suggest going over the Mozilla forms and seeing if anyone has it posted. It more than a few lines though.

just got the 1.2 update. what happened to the apple throbber? can you please bring that back? i love this theme but don’t like the blue throbber at all. keep up the good work.

please do, thomas. i love this theme. it has an elegance to it and i held off updating to 2.0 until you made this theme available for it. but the bright blue throbbers just contrast too much with the rest of the theme to me. maybe you could offer it as a hack?

Great theme, I’m really enjoying it.
Out of curiosity, is there any way to change the brightness of the scroll-over highlighting on bookmarks? With the original blue background it looked really nice, but now that I’ve changed the background color on the toolbar the highlighting is barely noticeable. I have a feeling it’s an easy fix with Stylish, but I haven’t any clue how to do it.
Thanks!

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 - Windows XP
Ankur - I’m not exactly sure what you are looking for. There isn’t a blue background on anything, there are blue highlights. Plus, there is the bookmarks menu, bookmarks in the toolbar and the manage bookmarks area. Which one are you wondering about?
- Thomas January 25th, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Right, I guess I should have been more specific. I’m referring to the bookmarks toolbar. On the original theme, there was a blue bar behind this toolbar, and when you scrolled over a bookmark, it was highlighted. However, I’ve since removed the blue bar using the code you posted for Stylish. As a result, the scroll-over highlighting still occurs, but it is barely visible.

Hi!
I’m using SeaMonkey but unfortunately there aren’t that many themes that work with it
I really, really like your iPox theme - any chance of you making it compatible with SeaMonkey…?
- Ulrika January 31st, 2007 at 1:09 pm
Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1 - Windows XP
At this time, SeaMonkey is in major development and it’s interface/theme construction is different than Firefox. More complex as you have to think about way more than just a web browser. Maybe someday I’ll work on SeaMonkey, but not anytime soon.
- Thomas January 31st, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Ankur - You want this code:
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover,
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover:active,
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[open="true"] {
background: #fff url(http://www.your-image-here.com) !important;
}
- Thomas January 31st, 2007 at 10:43 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Ah, brilliant. Thanks a bunch.
Now that we’ve got that… is there any way to give the highlights rounded edges? Or should I just use an image?
Sorry to bother you with my petty grievances, by the way. I really am enjoying the theme.
- Ankur January 31st, 2007 at 10:49 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 - Windows XP
Hoho, wait, I’ve a better idea. Is it possible to use that same blue gradient that is used as highlights for the rest of the theme? I guess my question is, where can I find that image? I suppose I could make it myself, but where’s the fun in that?
- Ankur January 31st, 2007 at 11:16 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 - Windows XP
Ankur - Rounded edges are hard to do as no two bookmarks are the same length. The blue image I used was white at a 20% opacity or so. There is no actual image. But you could create one and upload it to your website and point to it from your code.
- Thomas January 31st, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Okay, things are looking very nice. Last question, I promise: how do I change the color of text when I scroll over it?
- Ankur February 1st, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 - Windows XP
Ankur - Same code as above and add color: #F61D1D;
- Thomas February 1st, 2007 at 10:15 pm
Mozilla Firefox 2.0 - Mac OS X
Hm…
The text color isn’t changing, much to my dismay.
Here’s the all code I have, any idea what’s up?
@import url(”chrome://global/skin/extra/bookmarks-bar2.css”);
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon { display: none; }
#PersonalToolbar { background: #e5e5e5 !important; }
.toolbarbutton-text { color: #464646; }
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover,
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover:active,
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[open=true] {
background:url(”blahblah\blueGrad.jpg”) !important;
color: #ffffff !important;
}
Thanks for your help, by the way. Quite invaluable.
- Ankur February 1st, 2007 at 11:14 pm

.toolbarbutton-text { color: #464646; } is screwing up the code.
- Thomas February 1st, 2007 at 11:32 pm

I thought it might. So is there any way for me to make the text dark gray normally and white when I scroll over it?
