MidnightFoxy Theme Now Public
I got a nice surprise yesterday when MidnightFoxy was made live on the Mozilla Addons site!
The Firefox 2 version never made it out of the sandbox over there and was never publicly available. It bugged me, but there wasn’t much I could do. However now, MidnightFoxy can get the attention it deserves.
MidnightFoxy is a dark theme just like MidnightFox. The main difference is the buttons are square and they get larger when you rollover them.
Give MidnightFoxy a shot if you like MidnightFox or dark Firefox themes.
MidnightFox for Firefox 3 Now Available
Another day, another theme. MidnightFox has been released for Firefox 3.
Instead of waiting until it’s perfect, I decided to release what I had done. Thanks to the beta testers, any major bugs should be worked out and it’s ready to rock!
If you are a fan of the spinoff theme, MidnightFoxy, that’s still awaiting approval from the Mozilla folks. It can be found on the Addon’s site though.
As always, any bugs can be reported in the bug tracker.
Miint Officially Released – A Green Firefox Theme
I wish I could say I’m on a roll, but I’m not to sure about that.
Miint has been released on Mozilla’s add-on site and is now public!
That makes two out of nine themes that are ready to go for Firefox 3. One other is in production and the others waiting to get converted.
Miint fans rejoice though, the cool and tasty theme is read to go!
Feel free to report bugs in the bug tracker.
Enjoy!
iPox Officially Released for Firefox 3
If you haven’t been following the betas, than this day has been a long time coming. iPox for Firefox 3 was officially released on Mozilla’s Addon site this morning.
The new version, iPox 2, has been re-worked from the ground up in hopes of creating the most compatible theme for Firefox 3.
If you come across a bug, please post it in the bug tracker and I’ll take a look into it. There are more updates to come, but this is a good start.
Enjoy!
Miint Enters Beta for Firefox 3
Each theme I work on is a bit better than the last and Miint is no different. Miint enters into beta today with what I believe is to be the fewest issues and the most themed so far.
Yes, there are still things to do, like remove any unused files, and I’m sure some bugs will arise, but I’m very happy with Miint’s outcome so far.
The Miint beta is over, the theme has been released.
Next steps is to take some of the code and work it into MidnightFox and iPox to make them better. 
My First Plurk Theme
A few days ago Plurk came out with the ability to customize your profile with your own CSS code. I put my skills to work and created my first Plurk theme!
It’s a bit darker, to match my website, and comes with rounded boxes, a unified timeline and colors that pop.
You can get a better feel for it by viewing my Plurk Profile.
Want the theme? No problem.
Want to edit the code? Go ahead. Just remember to give me a little credit for the time I spent creating the theme. You can grab the code by installing it and then editing your Plurk profile and customizing it.
iPox for Firefox 3 – Beta
Now that Firefox 3 is out, I have a lot of themeing to do!
The first theme to be released for Firefox 3 will be iPox and I’m happy to announce the beta is out today.
The beta was born from the Mac default theme and has been built from the ground up. This is all new code people. 
The beta has been working great on my iMac, but it’s not as pretty on Windows. And Linux I have no idea.
Silvermel – Return of Firefox Style
Remember a while ago when Charamel roamed the streets? It was one of the most detailed and perfect Firefox themes I’ve ever seen. Well now there is Silvermel; a silver version of Charamel.
Silvermel has every detail down and outstanding design everywhere you turn. It’s a work of art that you just have to see. Lucky for you, you can! It’s available on the Mozilla Addon’s site and works for Firefox 1-3 and Thunderbird 1.5 or 2.
This is one Firefox theme you have to see to believe. 
WALL•E Comes to a Firefox Theme
While browsing through the Mozilla Addons site yesterday I came across the official WALL•E Firefox theme!
Unfortunately the theme is Windows only. However, with a bit of investigating, I was able to extract the jar file and install it on my Mac.
The theme is pretty good. WALL•E is a bit hard to see behind the address bar and I wish the bar was semi-transparent so that he was more visible. It’s also a bit hefty at over 3MB. Other than that, it looks pretty slick and works well. Nothing to extraordinary, but fun none the less. As it makes its way to 1.0, the theme has a lot of potential to grow into something spectacular.
Firefox 3 & iPox – An Update
Well, I spent a few hours yesterday trying to figure out how I was going to go about upgrading all my themes to Firefox 3. So far, I haven’t had any good ideas.
The new theme structure with Firefox 3 is different than Firefox 2. I knew it would be. And, at this time, there is nothing out there to help a theme developer know what to change or what to update. There is a long list of ongoing theme changes, but what does that really mean? What are the steps to upgrading a theme?
