Hopefully someone can pass this along …

I’m using linux with the beta 3. Integrating the gtk theme with firefox will make a lot of people happy, but taking away the ability to tweak things is going to make the rest of us upset. I use a dark gtk theme, and when you are on a light colored page with dark widgets … it looks terrible. I could install a separate firefox theme, but none of them look good with my gtk theme. After researching a bit, I found that I could edit my /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css file to change just the widgets. But, this has been removed from firefox 3. Stylesheet editors do not work well enough, and I end up with unreadable text boxes (like this one, for example).

Alex – this come from an UI designer,

Please do a simple dialog on Prefferences (and one at the first install gui) and LET USER CHOOSE between the OS like UI or Firefox 3 new UI.

In 2 lines You can solve a potantial time / space consumer like the flame-war between native or non-native UI(now it’s an acceptable fire but after Ff3 launch will grow on entire Linux planet).

Also – from functional design point – this must be a natural option.

Let user choose.
And You just saved the Linux part of this planet.

Best Regards,
Sorin

Alex, when sorting bookmarks from the main Bookmarks menu- is a “fix” going to be done to make the bookmarks stay “on screen” after the sort? Very irritating to have to wade back down through a multi-level thread of bookmarks just to get back to where you are working at that time. This has been a major irritant for me since the first version of Mozilla/Firefox.

Thanks,
John

Has there been any new news about the Windows UI changes?

What about KDE users? Will there in the future be a focus to make Firefox look native on KDE?
