Holidays are coming soon and unfortunately for me and all Firefox theme users we no longer have a custom Christmas theme. All that's left are some Personas backgrounds which in my opinion don't look that great when combined with the default theme. I have mentioned this before in one of my previous posts and what I've written is about to become a reality.
I am making a Christmas version of my Purple Fox theme ( preview below ).
In other words I will try to become the hero of Christmas and create a modified version of my Purple Fox theme which will include this awesome Christmas design. The idea came to me back in July when I was on a holiday with my family high in the Rila mountain.
All I can say is : I am happy with my theme. By far I have only created a custom toolbar background and I'll see if I can add custom Christmas icons to the add-ons manager as well. Also I will be uploading the theme around November 15th. It takes a week or two for an add-on to get reviewed. In other words you'll have a Christmas theme somewhere around November 20th. I will remove the Christmas version in January 2012. After that you should download the Classic Purple Fox theme with the 2 sub-skins.

More info soon. I'm looking forward your comments! : )

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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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! :-)

Purple Fox subskins?
![]() |
| Purple Fox subskin 1 |
I've make 2 more Purple Fox designs.You can see the first one on the left.It has a nice lighter design with grey patters.I'll reveal the second one tomorrow but I've been working on this and hopefully I'll release it soon.Hope there are no problems with the coding.Users can enable the new designs by placing a line of code in their userChrome.css file. (more information about that soon)
Another thing I want to say is that if everything runs fine I'll probably try to implement the Purple Fox Christmas design as a 4th subskin in the future.I haven't come up with the design yet and it is probably going to be really complicated so I may not release it as a subskin but we'll see in the future.I'm not even sure for the Christmas design yet but I thought it'd be nice to give some info about how the development of theme shall continue.

Web Goodies on-line!View first tutorials! + Secret project reveal!
This blog should be Firefox theme related only but it's mine and I decide what shall be posted here.
I'm not sure how many people know about this but I've been working on a new site for web design,programming,how to earn money that stuff.There's a link on my themes download pages and I'm not sure how many people visit it.It's still in it's baby days.I've been developing it for less than a month but it's growing because every day I put a new video tutorial or article.Last one was how to earn more money from adsense.So be sure to check it out if you want.
Link to my new site - http://web-goodies.comli.com/
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another thing I want to talk about is this new project idea which I have.I haven't started work on it yet but maybe I will in the near future.
Since there's no Firefox Christmas theme any more I'll probably try to be the hero of Christmas and make a special edition of Purple Fox and maybe Blue Fox as well.Not sure about Blue Fox but Purple Fox will have a Christmas special (I hope). It's still early to talk about Christmas and I haven't come up with all the design yet but I'll keep you updated if I start work on something.
That's all I have to say for now.Thanks for visiting Firefox Goodies and Web Goodies : )
