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

I love the feel of this theme, but I absolutely hate green! Any possibility of creating Miint in other colours?

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.
