If you’ve ever wanted a good Firefox theme to match the look of your Mac a bit more, there are lots of developers out there trying to make this happen.

The best one, if you are actually on a Mac, is probably GrApple by Aronnax. His attention to detail is amazing. Other good choices are Pinstripe (again Mac only), iSafari and iAqua, my own creation.

However, there are many many more choices out there. Mozilla Taiwan has a forum thread going with screen shots and download links for many other alternatives. Some look pretty good and some are, oddly enough, not very Mac friendly.

For any of you readers that might also have Facebook account, please go feed or pet my cow. Hamburglar, that’s his name, is lonely and would love some attention.

If you’d rather connect via Pownce, I’m now no that too. I’ll use it about as much as I do Twitter, and that’s not a whole lot.

I’ve also been checking out Skitch, the new little graphics program that’s suppose to be amazing. So far, it looks very cool, acts great, but has been troublesum to actually use. Maybe I haven’t put enough time into learning it, or maybe I’m just stuck in my Fireworks ways, but Skitch just doesn’t seem quite as cool as I though it would. As I use it more though, I’ll probably like it more.

iAqua Beta 3 is ready for testers. Yes, if you’ve been installing it, then you are a tester.

So what’s new in beta 3? So glad you asked.

• Updated Progress Bar. Just a tiny bit.
• Updated Bookmarks bar so if you have more than one line, it doesn’t look completely ugly. It’s been condensed a bit too.
• Go button themed to be end of URL bar.
• Drop down icon in URL bar re-themed.
• Tab close button moved to the left of each tab.
• Buttons are now clear by default. Blue on hover/press. Like OSX.

iAqua is rolling along at a fantastic rate. I’ve been working on adding in some of the feedback I’ve been given and theming many other areas. It’s now a much more complete Firefox theme.

The number of additions to 0.2beta are to many to count but here are a few:

• Apple like scrollbars.
• Re-worked and completed large toolbar buttons.
• Add small toolbar buttons
• Added preferences buttons.
• Added bookmarks manager buttons.
• Updated bookmark bar colors.
• Updated auto complete hover colors.
• Window backgrounds customized.
• Apple like progressbar.
• Apple like buttons.

iAqua is my latest Firefox theme based off of Apple Mail’s interface and a mockup created by Mozilla.

This all started when I ran across a forum post over at MacThemes. Ed posted about an idea that Mozilla had for Firefox 2’s Mac interface. It never came to be, so I started working on something that would be similar. A few hours later, iAqua was born.

Currently I’m releasing beta1. It’s NOT complete. What I’ve done is taken iPox, replaced some buttons and a few other interface elements. I do not have all the items themed. Really, this is just the very beginning. Current issues:
