I'm looking for Mac and Windows 7 testers



Like my themes? Want to help future development and platform support?

I am looking for people who own Windows 7 or Mac and are interested in being part of Firefox theme development. Development requires testing and it is nice if I have all platforms to test my themes but unfortunately I don't and I don't have the money to buy a new PC with Windows 7 or a Mac. So if you own one of these platforms and want to help please let me know by emailing to whitebluepc@abv.bg

Another way you can help is by donating. I'm raising money to buy a new machine because the one I own is 6 years old and the performance is terrible. So if you want to donate just click on the donate button below.

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! : )

Purple Fox theme pack released - 3 themes in one!

Yup the Purple Fox theme pack is finally here! Latest version (7.0.17.09.11) includes 2 more Purple Fox 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/purple-fox/  you install the Purple Fox classic design which you might be familiar with. Here's how to use the other two awesome looking new Purple Fox 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.

Purple Fox 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.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purple Fox design 1
In order to use the first Purple Fox 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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purple Fox design 2

Same goes for design 2 (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.


Also this version includes new tab group window design. (image below) Enjoy and have a nice day!

Purple Fox theme with new preview image!

Purple Fox - new preview image!
Unfortunately for the last month Purple Fox downloads when down from 1700 to less than 400 which is not good for me. This used to be one of my most popular themes back in the Firefox 4 nad 5 days. Sometimes a theme can be really bad and get a lot downloads and users because of the preview image. I decided to change it.
I've added a nice dark purple-gray background, the logo and the navigation as a preview. In my case I'm having an awesome theme and a preview so I hope that it'll help attract more people to download purple fox. Hope you like it as much as I do. Wish me luck :_)

Firefox 7,8,9 release dates + preview in few sentences!Be the first to try Firefox 9!

You all probably know (or most of you) that Mozilla is going to release new Firefox version in 6 weeks.Well guess what they are going to release Firefox 7 by the end of the month.And yes I'm not joking.Here's what I found in the Mozilla wiki about the future releases.



Firefox 7
currently in BETA channel
moves to RELEASED on September 27, 2011
I personally tried the beta.It's nice.Compared to Firefox 5 and 6 it's definitely better.They've fixed some bugs and the speed is insane. 


Firefox 8
Firefox 8 is currently in AURORA channel and it will move to Beta on September 27, 2011
I tried the Aurora and all I can say it feels the same like Firefox 7 beta.It doesn't feel faster but the good thing is that for the short time I used it I have not found any bugs or crashes.I think they'll add speed improvements in the beta but will see.
 Firefox 9
currently in NIGHTLY channel
moves to AURORA on September 27, 2011
Yup they've released an alpha version of Firefox.Tried it for a few minutes but I saw nothing new but I might use it for awhile to see if there's something new besides  the compatibility check add-ons window which pops before you start the browser for the first time.Firefox 9 is coming in 2012 that's for sure.Mozilla is planning huge design changes and improvements which will open a job for Firefox add-on developers like me.If you want to be one of the first to try Firefox 9 I've put a link for download at the bottom of this topic!
