Due to the lack of time, real life things I have to do, the lack of downloads, active users, donations and the fact that creating and supporting a Firefox theme is not an easy thing I won't be supporting the Extero 2 for Firefox 11 and above for now. I haven't worked on the theme since April last year. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/minty-fresh-green/

Recently I've been really busy and I'm barely spending time on my computer and working on my 10 themes. I haven't been following what's new in latest versions of Firefox as well. Sure I see the main problems but I miss smaller problems like the purple app button while the user has enabled private browsing and some minor things. Btw I'd like to thank Ken for pointing out problems with my themes in every review email I get. You're doing a great job with that.

So if there's anyone who'd like to take over Extero 2 I'd be happy to send him/her the theme archive. If not I'll update it when I find time which probably won't happen till 15th July.

About my other themes. All of them need some work. Bloody Red got an update a few days ago but still I need to fix some things here and there. Now I'm working on iAqua. Next is Green Fox, Purple Fox, Blue Fox, Pink Fox, Toy Factory and Sky Pilot classic which requires a lot of work and is my most difficult theme to support. I'm down to supporting 9 themes now and soon I may reduce the number to 8.

Thanks for using my themes!

Happy birthday Bloody Red

Back in 2009 on 13th February I released Bloody Red version 0.1. It was my first dark theme and the first theme in which I used my own icons, images and code.

It has been 3 years since I first released version 0.1 and man a lot has changed since then. I improved the design a bit with Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 but with the release of Firefox 4 the theme has been completely redesigned and soon after that I have created 4 sub-skins which are absolutely free to use, easy to install and look amazing. See how to install and use the Bloody Red sub-skins by clicking here http://firefox-goodies.net63.net/sub-skins/bloody-red-sub-skins.html 

For the future I'll try to keep up with latest Firefox releases and continue to support and improve the theme if possible. Now I don't have time to work on themes and web development but this summer I'm planning to put more time in that. I have some real life things I have to deal with and I think you'll all agree that real life problems are more important than supporting a theme. Besides I'm not getting paid for doing that.
So yeah Happy birthday Bloody Red! I'm hoping for more downloads, users, donations and theme improvements in the future. I'm looking forward your creating comments in the comments box below.
