Bloody Red version 7.0.19.09.11 reviewed. More soon!

Version 7.0.19.09.11 of Bloody Red has been reviewed. It includes 2 awesome Bloody Red skins and many bug fixes. If you want to learn how to use the new skins click here : http://firefox-goodies.net63.net/sub-skins/bloody-red-sub-skins.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New version of Bloody Red coming soon. It is going to include 2 more Bloody Red skins.

One of them has the same design as Purple Fox skin 2 but it looks nice with Bloody Red as well so I'm making it a 3rd Bloody Red skin. (see image below)

The second new Bloody Red design has this nice looking rainbow effect. I'll cover how to use all the new designs in another post as soon as I upload theme on the Mozilla Firefox site.

Bloody Red new skin 2 - rainbow effect

Thanks all for now. Enjoy! : )

Firefox 7 is out! Review in few short sentences!

Yup today Mozilla released Firefox 7 and they are definitely following the new release schedule. My first impressions of Firefox 7 is not the design but the performance. In terms of design nothing has been changed but these people have improved the speed. I don't know how much compared to Firefox 5 or 6 but you can definitely feel that they've made our favourite browser faster.

Not only that but the start-up time has been improved as well. Don't know how faster but I'm sure that some people will stop complaining that Firefox starts slow.

Another good thing is that most add-ons which worked with Firefox 6 work great with Firefox 7. You can get Add-ons and Themes by opening the Add-ons Manager, or by visiting the Add-ons Web site. Add-ons installed with previous versions of Firefox may not yet have been updated by their authors to work with this Firefox. If you wish to help test Add-ons, please install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter - your favorite Add-on author will appreciate it!

Here are the official release notes :

• Drastically improved memory handling for certain use cases
• Added a new rendering backend to speed up Canvas operations on Windows systems
• Bookmark and password changes now sync almost instantly when using Firefox Sync
• The 'http://' URL prefix is now hidden by default
• Added support for text-overflow: ellipsis
• Added support for the Web Timing specification
• Enhanced support for MathML
• The WebSocket protocol has been updated from version 7 to version 8
• Added an opt-in system for users to send performance data back to Mozilla to improve future versions of Firefox
• Fixed several stability issues
• Fixed several security issues

Please see the complete list of changes in this version. Web and extension developers should also view the curated list of platform changes. You may also be interested in the list of changes in the previous version.

By far I'm satisfied with the improvements in performance. Good job Firefox developers. Keep up the great work. For all of you who don't like what they are doing all I can say is : If you don't like it don't use it!

Enjoy and have a nice day! : ) Tweet

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 :

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.
