Good news, I’ve gone though and updated all my themes and extensions to work with Firefox 3.5!

There are no major issues, but there are some minor ones. Like the bottom part of the scrollbar is missing and secure pages don’t render the secure part of the URL bar.  I consider these to be pretty minor overall, but do hope to fix the annoyances.

Since Firefox 3.5 is well on its way to being released in June, I thought it was high time I get a few updates in.

Have you heard of the Pink for October campaign?  What they ask is that people modify their sites, aviators or whatever they can to add a bit of pink and spread breast cancer awareness.  You may have already noticed this and just didn’t realize why things were changing to pink.

PinkHope is a perfect match for Pink for October.  The Firefox theme is bright pink and integrates well in to the campaign.  PinkHope has also recently been added to the official Pink for October downloads page.

What do you think?  Are you going pink for October?

Theming Firefox has its good and it’s bad times.  Yes, it’s a lot of work for no money, but making people happy is something I like to do too.  And it appears that, according to Mozilla’s stats, I’m making a lot of people happy with my themes.

I’m working ever so hard to get every theme updated for Firefox 3 and now I have another.  PinkHope is ready to go!

Like the others, the entire theme was re-coded and some elements may be different.  I don’t aim to make an exact duplicate of the Firefox 2 version, but rather an upgrade.

For those that don’t know, PinkHope is a bright pink theme that takes aim at creating awareness for breast cancer fighters, survivors and supporters.  It’s also great for anyone who likes pink.

I love to create Firefox themes, make addons and lots of freebees that others often enjoy.  I do this on my free time and love to see people enjoy them.  But some days, I’m ready to throw in the towel.

I’ve recently got a few comments from a visitor saying “hurry up and release the f**king theme” and “do your f**king job.”

Now I know that there is bound to be one jerk out of hundreds of users, but it’s comments like these that make me wonder why I continue to spend my time on themes.  It’s not my job and, the more negative comments I get, the slower my progress will be.  These things take hours to build and there is a lot to take into consideration.

With the Firefox 3 release upon us, a lot of people will be wondering about the status of my themes.

So what is the status?

If you’re looking for a nice Valentines day theme for Firefox, check out PinkHope. It’s heavy on the pink and should work out well. Better yet, it’s completely free.

Granted, it wasn’t designed especially for Valentines day, but it works. PinkHope is actually a theme to help spread breast cancer awareness. It just happens to be a good Valentines Day theme too.

PinkHope, a breast cancer awareness theme, has been completely re-vamped and released as version 1.0. The new version goes pink big time.

I’ve been talking about making PinkHope into it’s own unique theme for a while now and I finally did it. It now sports a pink background behind the tool, address, status and tab bars. Even the background of the address and search bars is now pink.

For some, this may be a bit of a shock, but I really wanted to go big and go pink with PinkHope. I wanted something that stood out and could be seen and noticed on your computer with just a passing glance.

In the first theme update of the month, PinkHope now supports a pink progress bar. Really, I should have caught that in the beginning.

It also gets a bit of Fission (extension) support. It’s not great, but better. AddBlockPlus issues are hopefully fixed and it adds support for the New Tab Button on Tab Bar extension.
