Introducing MidnightFoxy - Dark & Stylish Theme
MidnightFox has always been a great theme. It’s dark, yet usable and, as stated by others, one of the best dark themes out there. However, I wanted more.
While fixing a few toolbar issue with MidnightFox, I started updating other pieces. I reworked the tabs, the bookmarks, some menus and the the navigation buttons. Taking extero’s icons and leveraging Pixelmator’s menu design, I created much nicer toolbar with icons that ‘pop’ when you roll over them.
MidnightFoxy was first set to replace MidnightFox, however some of the testers were partial to the old buttons. So MidnigthFoxy was born. It’s basically the same theme, only with a more polished toolbar.
There are certainly areas for improvement, but aren’t there always? I’m going to focus my theme updates on Firefox 3 and we’ll circle back with MidnightFoxy when it’s slated for the browser upgrade.
But, for now, it’s available for Firefox 2 and for everyone to enjoy!
Currently in Mozilla’s sandbox.
I think I have stated before that I can’t stand Extero.
)
It is very dull, very uninspired theme, in my opinion.
Now, I love MIdnightfox, I really do.
But I couldn’t be bothered by a MIdnightfox theme with Extero buttons.
It’s nice that you’re thinking of updating Midnightfox and all, but I think I’ll wait to upgrade until Midnightfox sports iAqua buttons.
(I love iAqua as much, if not more than, MIdnihgtfox.

iAqua + MidnightFox? I could whip that up for you if you’d like.

I love midnight fox and have been using it for over a year, but I do not like the new square buttons in version .70. How can I go back to version .65?

Download Midnightfox 0.60 here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/2311
if you download the theme to the harddrive to have a hard-soft copy, you have to open Firefox. open the addons window, and select the themes tab. you have to drag the file into this window - double cicking it or dragging it into the main firefox window will not work…. lame, I know

Sorry everyone for the mixup. MidnightFoxy is suppose to have the square buttons, MidnightFox is suppose to have the round buttons. I’ve re-uploaded MidnightFox to Mozilla’s site to fix the mixup.

This theme coul be great but it really needs to lose the squares/borders around the buttons, makes it look amateurish IMO

Wow, it really looks like I opened up a can of worms here, doesn’t it?

This theme is terribly unstable for me. After I installed it and reopen firefox I lost most of my session. I had 3 instances of firefox open all with multiple tabs and only one instance actually managed to open and it only had two tabs that could load out of about 7. So many things didn’t work right with it I’m not even going into it. Too bad because it is pretty and would match the dwm desktop I’ve been working on

Starhawk - A theme can’t effect your sessions and cause loading issues. If there were issues like that, I’d see them before I ever pushed it out to the public. The issue sounds more like a Firefox one than a theme one.

I love Midnight Foxy!!
This is my new favorite; I discovered it with the Midnight Fox mix up, so I’m glad it happened!
Okay, so some don’t like the squares; just removing the boarders will fix the square look.
This is very sleek and glossy; love the way the buttons pop when moused over. The tinted search and address bars are classy!
The green arrows, well, I’m not a fan of green with black, maybe azure or shiny silver? I love and humbly suggest those colors with this type of arrows to go with this super sleek theme.
Keep up the great work; this version will open up a whole new audience that prefer the sleek black to the vivid round round buttons.
