Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

Very odd. Then it must be related to my Windows theme (Roue 2.01 Black).

Edit: It is. Still doesn't change the fact that it's a Firefox issue though. I don't get the problem in IE.

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

i hate themes, classic theme is always my choose.

If your people come crazy, you will not need to your mind any more.

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

I used to hate themes as well, but then I saw Roue 2.01 Black and now I'm never going back.

They have a lot of downloads! Over 1'000'000 in four days :)

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

I use the WinXP classic theme, never got used to the new theme. Classic is also a lot faster than any of the other themes I've tried.

Actually I turned off themeing and many other services: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm

Looks like you're running Linux.

Works perfectly on XP regardless of the colours. Everything just adjusts for appropriate colours given the background and text colour.

The only exception is if you use the WinXP "Classic" theme which is the Win2000 clone but I don't think anybody uses that.

I use the Win2K Classic theme on all my computers and I know several others that do too.  I hate the fluffiness of XP....

I don't have any problems with Firefox using the old Win2K themes and the default Firefox theme.

If its cheaper to run Windows than it is to run Linux, how come Microsoft has all the money?

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

Paul: It's actually not a clone. It's the "real thing". It's what you get when you disable the theme service completely.

Yeah :) I don't like XP's default blue theme. The gray is okay, but it's still way to large icons.

I just love programs like Miranda (the ICQ-client at the screenshot). You can customize it exactly as you want :)

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

For those of you running 1.0pr, Arvil has released his theme called Qute.

Qute was the default Firefox theme before they switched to the current one, it's much better and has nicer icons.

It's what I'm using until Smoke is released.

It's my "check for new posts on a punbb forum"-program :)

Don't have to visit the forum all the time to check for new posts. This might not make much difference on this forum, but on another one I'm visiting there are 1.4 new posts per day (compared to punbb's 70). Though, it's nice to have when helping people around here with their punbb-problems.

Well, I have to agree with you snapsolutions... Sage is an awesome extension for Firefox. I just installed it today after reading your recommendation and I must say I think it is my favorite plug-in for Firefox so far.

I have not much cared for RSS till now... but the way SAGE incorporates itself into the browser... I was really impressed.  It is very usable too.  I went into my tool bar customizations and added my Sage shortcut to the rest of my tools.... now with a quick click I can subscribe to RSS feeds!  Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

My pleasure smile

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

I haven't used Sage, but I'll give it a try.

I did try the RSS capabilties built into Firefox 1.0PR. It uses the bookmarks interface to store favorite feeds. I placed a feed folder on my bookmarks toolbar and with a click, I can see my feeds.

Yes, I tried that too... but did not use it much.  When I tried out Sage I realized that this was a great way to do RSS.  Very simple interface and intuitive.

The new themes are out, just tried it and it works just fine in 1.0pr.

Go here, and hit your refresh buttons if in the installation you don't see 1.0.

Thanks to Aaron for taking the time: http://mozthemes.tk/

They fixed the search bar in Smoke for 0.10 smile (I'm on a recent nightly build though.)

Re: Firefox 1.0 PR impressions

Are there any Mac users out there who use FIrefox?

How do you like it versus Safari?

(I'd try it but I'm out in the sticks and only have s-l-o-w access!).

Thx.
