With Firefox 4 just around the corner, my themes would probably need to be revamped from the ground up and […]

New File Structure
New File Structure

With the release of Firefox 3.6, developers that used the iPox Remix tutorials to create their theme will have to create a new install file and folder structure. Don’t worry, it’s not to hard. 1 – Create a new folder called chrome. 2 – Move browser, communicator, global and mozapps into chrome. 3 – Compress […]

Firefox 3.6 Theme Compatibly

  • 15 Nov, 2009

Good news and bad news. The bad news is that my themes are currently NOT compatiblewith Firefox 3.6. I tested it out the other day and nothing happened. No error, no theme, no luck. The good news is I was able to find out why and fix it. I had to re-do the theme structure […]

Why I would quit theming today.

  • 20 Jul, 2008

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 […]

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.

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 […]
