I’ve started playing around with Firefox themes again. One of the great things about Firefox is that the interface can be modified with CSS. With just a few lines of code, I can make it look like whatever I want. This time what I ended up with was Moz-Mac. I started by getting rid of […]

I’m retiring from Firefox theming.
It’s been a fun journey over the past 5 years creating Firefox themes. I created nearly a dozen themes, stating with iPox, and I’ve got over 5 million downloads! However, I just can’t keep up. With Firefox 4 just around the corner, my themes would probably need to be revamped from the ground up and […]
iPox Version 3
iPox version 3 is now available! iPox v3 has landed with some re-designed elements, bug fixes, and iPox Aqua mixed in. So what’s new? The scrollbars have been re-designed utilizing CSS. They are now a light grey with a nice mouse over effect. The throbber has been reverted back to the Mac throbber. The URL bar has […]
Are Firefox Themes Dying?
I’ve been developing Firefox themes for the past few years and, as I see Firefox change and evolve, I’m beginning to wonder if themes are going to become a thing of the past. Why? Firefox is pushing personas. They are now standard in Firefox 3.6. Themes are complex with lots of pieces to edit and […]
Christmas + Firefox = Tinseltown
Do you like Christmas? Do you like Firefox? Then Tinseltown is for you. Tinsteltown is a Christmas theme for Firefox that turns your browser into a winter wonderland of Christmas fun. If you’ve already tried Tinsteltown, then check out the update that just came out. It fixes a few bugs and adds support for Firefox […]
Google Chrome Themes Are Mac Friendly
Google recently launched a theme gallery for Chrome. Much to my enjoyment, these themes are Mac friendly too and can be used with the latest development builds of Chrome. These themes can’t even begin to compare to some of the great Firefox themes, but it’s nice start.
Firefox 3.7 Mockup Theme
Only a few days ago Mozilla put up some ideas on how they’d like to re-design Firefox in the next version. BoneyardBrew and SoapyHamHocks then took the mockups and created a working theme called Firefox 3.7 Mockup Redux 2.0. There are some tweeks and extensions that have to be used to get the full effect as […]
iAqua Has a New Home & Firefox 3 Compatibility
A big thanks to Jivko Evgeniev who heard the call for help and has taken iAqua and ran with it. It’s alive and well and running nicely in Firefox 3.5! I’m really happy at how iAqua has grown in the hands of another developer. One of the downsides to letting go is worrying about what […]
iAqua and extero Themes Need Your Help
Two of my themes that have not yet made the Firefox 3 jump are iAqua and extero. Both themes are very nice and ones that I wish I had time to update but it’s just not happening. With a baby due in weeks, I just don’t see these two Firefox themes getting any sort of attention. […]
My Themes and Firefox 3.5
Good news, I’ve gone though and updated all my themes and extensions to work with Firefox 3.5! There are no major issues, but there are some minor ones. Like the bottom part of the scrollbar is missing and secure pages don’t render the secure part of the URL bar. I consider these to be pretty […]
