Add Jack Skellington to Your iPhone
With Halloween coming up, a Nightmare Before Christmas wallpaper for an iPhone or iPod Touch is a must have! Here is the first one I’ve come up with featuring Jack Skellington himself!
It’s already at the correct iPhone size and the placement of the graphics is optimized for for the iPhone as I left space at the top for the time and date and Jack is nicely centered on the iPhone screen.
Enjoy Nightmare Before Christmas fans!
Also, be sure to check out my Firefox theme HalloFF featuring Jack Skellington.
Halloween Firefox Theme Gets Another Upgrade
I’ve been tweaking HalloFF over the past few weeks to add a bit more Halloween to the theme.
Here is what is new in the most recent version.
- New scrollbars featuring bones. Jack Skellington is the Bone Daddy after all.
- New right click menus featuring orange options with green highlights.
- New tabs that should resemble grave stones.
- New creepy fence background for the bookmarks toolbar and other toolbars.
- New light up pumpkin throbber.
- Added a bit of orange to the find bar background.
- Cleaned up the big back button as there was some minor issues that only I probably saw.
HalloFF Reborn for Firefox 3 in Time for Halloween!
Good news Halloween fans, HalloFF, and Jack Skellington, have risen from the dead for Firefox 3!! The theme is now Firefox 3 compatible and ready for you to enjoy.
It’s a dark theme with quite a few elements shared with MidnightFox, however, the buttons are orange with green rollovers and Jack Skellington shows his face a few times throughout the theme.
Enjoy this little Halloween treat from me to you!
Happy Halloween – What’s Your Costume?
So what are you dressing up for Halloween? My costume (for work) is kinda lame but kinda funny. It’s a visual thing so here you go.
What am I?
I’ll post the answer in the comments later today after my co-workers give me grief for it. 
iPox Halloween Costume
Are you one of the many fans of the iPox Firefox theme? Well I’ve got a treat for you. I created a quick Halloween costume for iPox. It’s a few tweaks to create a black menu & address bar along with an orange bookmarks bar and a green tab bar. Kinda spooky right?
If you’d like to dress up iPox for Halloween here’s how.
- Make sure you have iPox installed and active.
- Install Stylish (or Greasemonkey) and ensure that’s active too. It’s ready to go if you see the icon in the lower right corner of your browser.

HalloFF Rises From The Dead
Yes, it’s been a while, but HalloFF has arrived for Firefox 2.
I was presently surprised this morning to see that HalloFF has been approved and made live on the Mozilla Addon’s site. I hadn’t gotten notification so I’m not sure when it went live. None the less, HalloFF fans rejoice!
HalloFF is my MidnightFox mod that brings Jack Skellington into the mix. It features blacks, oranges and a bit of green. Originally created just for Halloween, but some users want to have it all year around.
Enjoy!!
Happy Halloween
Here it is Halloween time again. This year we bought kids carving kits and carved some great pumpkins. We choose not to get the adult carving kits as they are always way to hard. I’ve tried them in the past and it’s never any fun. The kids ones however worked out quite nicely. Not sure how kids could do them, but hey, it worked for us. See for yourself.
HalloFF Released – Sort of.
I uploaded HalloFF to Mozilla yesterday and they excepted it. Much to my surprise, people are liking it. I say surprise because it’s kinda hacked together and I guess there are some white on white issues that I hadn’t seen before. But the reviews are positive so far. Hopefully I can get the white on white fixed before Halloween and the progress bar is not going over well either.
Enjoy HalloFF – a Halloween Firefox Theme (for Firefox 1.5 only)!
Update: Click the link above for the most updated version. Mozilla won’t approve it because it won’t work with FF2 even though I submitted it a week or more before FF2 was released.
HalloFF Halloween Theme for Firefox 1.5.x – Testing
A while ago I posted about a Halloween theme I found on Deviantart. It was a port of my Hallo Halloween theme from MacOSX to Firefox. It looked pretty good, until I installed it. Then it was lacking in many areas. So, I reworked it and am now tesing HalloFF, my Halloween Firefox theme.
HalloFF is a little bit of iPox, a little bit of MidnightFox, a little bit of Hallo and some Nightmare Before Christmas characters all thrown together, mixed up and ouput into a new theme. It hasn’t gone though a lot of testing or quaility checking, but since Halloween is so close, that’s hard to do.
