Tinseltown
Christmas on a Mac
Talk about your overabundance of holiday spirit. It seems that Mac developers are creating more than a few great holiday apps this year. Here is a quick list of some of my favorites.
- Sno – This has been around for a while but has nice falling flakes on your screen.
- MacLampsX – One of my long time favorites as it adds customizable lights to the sides of your screen. Very festive.
- Snjor – A new snowing app that has little snow orbs that look quite nice. It’s suppose to collect on windows too but doesn’t for me.
Tinseltown, iPox & MidnightFox Updates
I don’t usually post about multiple theme updates at once, but everyone got a little update today.
As noted earlier, all themes should now be Linux compatible.
MidnightFox also got the status bar code updated so hopefully that ugly grey one is gone.
iPox got the most updates with a new throbber and a few theme fixes throughout.
For the most part, just little tweaks, nothing major. 
All updates are available via Mozilla’s Add-On site.
Welcome Linux Fans
It took a few days and lots and lots of test builds but I think all the Linux crashing issues with Tinseltown, iPox and MidnightFox are fixed! Even better yet, the fixes have no ill effects for Mac or Windows users. I’m so happy.
A huge thanks goes out to all my help including ehume, terry(Denver) (Teruel de Campo MD), Albireo and Richard Hemmer! Without you all I could never have figured it out.
All theme updates should be available on Mozilla’s Add-On site in the next day or two. 
Themes Bug Tracker Online
I’ve started a bug tracker application to keep all the bugs, and feature requests, for my Firefox themes in one place. My goal is to not miss out on any requests. Check out the full bug tracker or the quick submit bug form.
Basically, just fill in a few fields, hit submit and I’ll be notified via email. It’s that easy. It’s even got a developer comments area where I can respond to any issues.
Thanks to ZoHo for creating an easy to use, and very powerful, online application for collecting and organizing data.
Tinseltown Feedback and Exposure
In less than one week, Tinseltown has exceeded my expectations and has been getting rave reviews.
Mozilla reports that Tinseltown has gotten over 35,000 downloads in just 5 days. Checking out the comments left on the Mozilla page, there are no major issues (except for some flavors of Linux which I’m working on) and a very few minor issues. Here are a few comments:
“This is one of the very best firefox themes! It’s unique and it’s so smooth, I think I’ll be using it through June…” – Don
Announcing Tinseltown – Holiday Firefox Theme
I’ve just released my latest Firefox theme called Tinseltown. It’s a Christmas theme to help decorate your desktop with a bit of holiday joy.
It’s hard to believe that last year my idea of a Christmas Firefox theme was to put a background image behind the toolbar. My theme knowledge was non-existent. Fast forward one year and Tinseltown is by far my most complete, and possibly best looking, theme that I’ve created.
