I don’t really like the way you “integrated” Firefox 3 with Linux; I would have preferred if you had made it a bit more “Windows” like instead.
So here I am stuck with a Windows themed desktop, yet I still have tiny, bland icons for my back, forward, cancel/stop, reload, etc.
Is there a “Windows” theme I can check out for Linux?

Subject: praise and critique

At http://n2.nabble.com/FLUX—Horizontal-Menu-tp2017268p2102347.html and thereabouts:

* my agreement that Firefox 3 does look better than Firefox 2

* some critique, comparing a September 2007 vision (pleasing) with the June 2008 product (IMHO inferior).

Rewinding many years, what I most disliked about Netscape was its force-feeding of the word ‘Netscape’ in the title bar of every window.

Now, In this age of advertising, marketing and spamming frenzies, my dislike of branding and unnecessary differentiation is even greater.

I value Firefox: not for its whispering or shouting to me “I Am Firefox”. Rather, I value Firefox for: its utility.

(Still, there’s so much missing from Firefox, with some ancient but very significant bugs, that I prefer Safari.)

IMHO the variation from operating system guidelines, the sometimes Mozilla island-like approaches, is a mistake.

Subject: combination button for stop/reload

Without suggesting a change to Firefox, it’s interesting that I never find a problem with the combination button in Safari.

Maybe the good response from the application is a Mac OS X thing. Certainly, I find myself extraordinarily frustrated with stop button behaviour in IE on Windows.

I agree with Hussain: I would have liked (the option of keeping) the Firefox 2 interface and color scheme. Now it looks gray/flat/metallic like Safari.

Fuck you.

It would have worked out a lot better if you would have given the option to the user what ‘graphics pack’ they wanted to display. Or at least a easy way of changing it.

I just auto upgraded today. Checking out the latest themes compatible with the newer version. I was wondering if there is some theme gallery or something for this?
