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.

3 years of Firefox theme development

Yup last Thursday January 12th I celebrated 3 years of Firefox theme development. I would like to thank you users of all the support throughout these 3 years, the amo editors, those of you who donated and those who downloaded and tried my themes. I have ten themes, 523 288 users and 8 385 077 total theme downloads which in my opinion is a pretty good result.

Also I haven't been posting here lately because I was way to busy with real life problems and stuff and when I find time I am spending more time on my web-site project http://web-goodies.comli.com/ If you want to find more information about how my theme development started visit this page: Click

Firefox 9 is out - review! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Yup Mozilla keeps releasing new versions of Firefox every 6 weeks. This month Firefox 9 came out. Like I wrote in one of my previous posts I don't use the final releases and today updated to Firefox 10 beta.

So enough with what I use. Lets talk about what is new in Firefox 9 and why should you try it. It's 30% FASTER than Firefox 8 or at least that is the information all over the internet. Everyone says that Mozilla has improved the JavaScript page rendering by 30% which is a good thing. A lot of websites use tons and tons of Javascript code so in my opinion this is definitely a step forward. Again there is nothing new in terms of design and my Firefox themes are compatible with Firefox 10 beta even so it's ok to use them. :)

Finally I want to wish Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all my users, especially those of you who donated. Sure there's not much money but it's something. It's been a good year for my Firefox themes - design improvements, sub-skins, Firefox 4-5-6-7-8-9-10 support and not many bug reports. Thanks for using my themes. Best of luck and happy holidays! :)

Holidays are coming! Christmas is that time of year when families are together and New year is all about parties, fireworks and fun. Why not bring that holiday spirit to your browser? As I have mentioned before in one of my previous posts I am a Firefox theme developer. It is a hobby. A hobby which requires a lot of time and effort. Firefox themes change the appearance of your browser.
I have 10 themes. One of them is called Purple Fox . It has a unique dark design, over 700 000 downloads and around 85 000 users. This summer I have been think about making a Christmas Firefox theme since the current are no longer supported. I wanted a theme but I Firefox themes are not easy to make a support. They require some image editing knowledge + Css and Css3 for the code.
I've been thinking and I decided to create a Christmas Special version of my Purple Fox Firefox theme.  ( preview below )

Personally I think it is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! What more can you ask for? Awesome background! Dark snowy night in the mountain mixed with some Christmas lights. And lets not forget those candy scrollbars. This comes with 2 sub-skins .
Also the Purple Fox theme pack is absolutely free to install and use. All you have to do is click the green install button and restart Firefox to see the changes.
Since this is a Christmas Special I'll bring back the classic Purple Fox design in early January 2012!
I hope you enjoy this theme as much as I enjoyed creating it! Happy holidays! : )
