Sync iCal and Google Calendar for Free. Plus Outlook and Yahoo.

  • 28 Jun, 2007

For quite a while now I’ve been looking for a solution to sync iCal and Google Calender. I’ve even though of giving up on iCal and using Gcal.app (an application) full time. However Plaxo 3 was released the other day and it syncs calendars for free. Running a few tests, it indeed does sync my […]

iV – Beta 1 – My First Thunderbird Theme

  • 26 Jun, 2007

Check out iV, my first Thunderbird theme.   // Image lost. Sorry. Zooomr ate it. // Currently iV is in beta mode and this is the first public release. Seeing as I’ve never themed Thunderbird before, there are a lot of issues. It’s funny, I can now create a sweet Firefox theme in just a […]

iAqua Takes HUGE Leap Forward

  • 25 Jun, 2007

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 […]

iAqua Firefox Theme Beta1

  • 22 Jun, 2007

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

Weather Photos – Waconia MN 06-20-07

  • 21 Jun, 2007

Yesterday, severe storms ran across the area and prompted tornado warnings for us. I was actually out watching these storms roll in as the sirens sounded. No tornadoes, but some brief decent sized hail, lots of pea sized hail and some rain and wind did come out of them. [images lost]

Changing Fonts & Colors in Firefox Themes

  • 21 Jun, 2007

Today’s question comes off the iPox Remix request line: How do I make the font on the bookmark toolbar change color when I hover over it? Since Firefox runs mainly on CSS, this is a pretty easy edit. Just go into /browser/browser.css and look for the following chunk of code: toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover, toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover:active, toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[open=”true”] { background: […]

Free Custom Ringtones – Really Really

  • 20 Jun, 2007

I’m a big fan of custom ringtones however I’m not big enough to have to pay for them. Lucky for me, I just found MyxerTones. MyxerTones allows me to upload an audio file and it sends the song to my phone for free. This is fantastic as my sister-in-law’s husband and I created a custom […]

Customize Firefox’s Scrollbar

  • 18 Jun, 2007

One nice element that can really bring a Firefox theme together is a themed scrollbar. Lucky for you, this is already read to go in iPox Remix. Simply open the global folder and inside you’ll find scrollbar.css and a scrollbars folder. The scrollbar folder contains all the pieces. I don’t believe the hover states are […]

It may be time for a new mouse, what do you suggest?

  • 15 Jun, 2007

My Mighty Mouse is again refusing to scroll down. It happens every now and then when it gets dirty from over use. I have cleaned it a time or two in the past and it worked fine. But now I can’t get it clean enough to scroll down and that’s really bugging me. I’ve gone […]
