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!

Presenting Purple Fox skin 2!

Honestly I have no idea how many people read my blog or visit my websites because I still have no comments, followers or likes and stuff but who knows maybe there are Purple Fox fans somewhere around. Second Purple Fox skin is complete. There are few more things I want to fix before releasing the theme.

Next version of Purple Fox will include the following features :
*Purple Fox classic skin with minor bug fixes and improvements
*Two new skins which can be activated by placing a line of code in your userChrome.css document (more about how to do that in future article when I release the new version.)

Here's an image of Skin 2 :

Have a nice day! :-)
