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.

Firefox 7 coming tomorrow.

According to Mozilla Firefox 7 should be released tomorrow. Currently I'm using the beta and it definitely starts and loads pages faster. Personally I don't expect anything new in terms or performance or design. They are probably going to fix a few more bugs in the final release.

Meanwhile all my Firefox themes support Firefox 7 and 8 alpha. Everything works and looks fine. Latest versions of Sky Pilot and Purple Fox which includes 2 awesome new designs have been approved and are now available on the Mozilla add-ons site. Hope you like the new designs and bug fixes.

Next on the update list is Orange Fox and I'm working on a 3rd Bloody Red sub-skin ( see post below ) which should be released as soon as version 7.0.19.09.11 gets reviewed. Hope you like what I'm doing and despite the fact that I have less time to work on themes I'm doing the best I can to keep my themes compatible with newer Firefox versions.

Enjoy and please donate if you can. Even the smallest donation helps. If you want to help you can donate by clicking the pay pal button on the left. Thanks!

3rd Bloody Red sub-skin coming soon!

Users! New Bloody Red sub-skin as soon as version 7.0.19.09.11 gets reviewed!
The design is the same as Purple Fox skin 2 but it looks nice with Bloody Red as well so I'm making it a 3rd Bloody Red skin. I'll try to add new images to the add-ons manager as well.

Wish me luck and donate if you can. It helps a lot. Version 7.0.19.09.11 is still awaiting the editors review but you can download it from  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-bloody-red-theme/versions/

Preview of 3rd Bloody Red sub skin :

Bloody Red theme pack - 3 themes in one!

Bloody Red theme pack is finally here! Latest version (7.0.19.09.11) includes 2 more Bloody Red skins, new tab group window design and few minor bug fixes.

When you download the theme from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-bloody-red-theme/versions/ you install the Bloody Red classic design which you might be familiar with. Here's how to use the other two awesome looking new Bloody Red designs!

To use the subskin you need to add a line of code to your userChrome.css document. It's really simple. userChrome.css is a file that you can edit to tweak the appearance of Firefox. When Firefox starts up, it reads this file and then applies any commands you may have added to this file.

The file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.tea\chrome\ . If you don't have it create a new document with notepad and name it userChrome.css .After that paste in the directory written above.

Bloody Red has two lines of code which can add. You can add one at a time. You can't use the two new designs at the same time.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to use the Bloody Red Lava design (image on the right) simple add this line of code to your userChrome.css document!

@import url("chrome://browser/skin/skins/skin1.css");

If Firefox is open close and start it again to see the changes. If your Firefox is already closed just paste the code, start it and you shall see the difference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same goes for design 2 - Bloody Red gradient (image on the left). Simply add this code to your userChrome.css document.

@import url("chrome://browser/skin/skins/skin2.css");

If Firefox is open close and start it again to see the changes. If your Firefox is already closed just paste the code, start it and you shall see the changes.

Bloody Red next on the update list!

Bloody Red lava

I'm starting work on new version of Bloody Red. I'll fix a lot of Firefox 6 and above related bugs like the url color, broken categories icons in the add-ons manager and more.

Also I'll try to add the Bloody Red Lava design to the theme. Users will be able to use it by placing a line of code in their userChrome.css document like they do with Purple Fox (to learn more about the userChrome.css document see the article below)

Bloody Red lava used to be available for users you donated but now it's free and you can download it from HERE This is a like a new theme and has nothing to do with the original Bloody Red. The icons and the design are new but with this next version you decide which design to use by adding or removing the line of code from your userChrome document.

That's all for now. More news soon! : )

New version of Blue Fox , others to follow!

New version of Blue Fox awaiting for the editors review.The theme should be approved soon (hopefully) by the Mozilla editors.Here's what's new in version 7.0.03.09.11 :

*Fixed bug with navigation buttons
*Fixed url color bug with Firefox 6 and above
*Fixed categories bug with Firefox 6 and above
*Fixed tab group bug
*Fixed icon bug with add-ons such as Video download helper,firebug and more.

Other add-ons should have new versions as well.I'm slowly fixing bugs.Next on my list are Orange Fox,Purple Fox and Bloody Red.I have a version for Sky Pilot almost complete as well but I'm having difficulties with fixing 2 bugs.The tab background bug turned out to be a pain in the a** and I have an idea for the other one.

That's all for now.Thanks for donating!

Bloody Red Lava released for users who donated?

Guys I'm a bit confused.A few days ago I released new version of Green Fox which has this awesome lava effect (image below) but things with downloads didn't go as I thought they would.I thought that there'd be more downloads since Green Fox is awesome and this new lava effect adds more to the awesomeness.
At the moment Bloody Red is on page 1 in the most downloaded themes of the week table and I just don't want to lose it's popularity and users by taking the risk with this version.Sure it's nice but who knows if people will like it.

That's why I'm making it a version for premium users.In other words those who donate 2$ or more for the Bloody Red theme will have the chance to try Bloody Red Lava.You can donate for the Bloody Red theme project from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-bloody-red-theme/ I'll be sending the theme to people who didn't read this post and to those who donated more than 2$ before.

Important:If Green Fox gets enough weekly downloads I'll be uploading Bloody Red Lava to the Firefox add-ons page!
