Want a fully BlueCurverized Mozilla theme?

[mhelios]

An aussie fella (cool!) has made for a while now some cool looking BlueCurve themes available for Mozilla versions dating back to 1.2.x series.

The 1.6.x series version contains a .xpi link so it's as easy as clicking the link and Mozilla will install it for you. If you're using 1.4.x then visit the link to the JAR installer and install from there.

FC2 has made some inroads into providing a BlueCurve Mozilla but IMHO, it still is lacking to this theme which is just excellent and definitely recommended!

Try it out today. :)

Mmmm... Three small problems: (Anyone else noticed?)

1. When the browser is loading data, the big M on the right up corner disappears - shouldn't it animate?

2. In Moz Mail, there are no smile icons on the smiles list and on the messages.

3. Some icons are missing in the Calendar (like the Multiweek View's icon).

Apart from these, the theme is great! :)

This theme is great but the little things that is lacks brings it down. No animation on the thumper. The blocked popup icon is missing. Print preview back and next arrows missing. Etc, etc, etc...

Well, for your number 1, on my system, the M becomes a revolving arrow - the same as can be seen when nautilus loads a file/folder. This seems fine to me. Are you not seeing this or your just don't like this animated arrow?

But anyway, I suggest you email Gavin about these issues and I'm sure he'l be happy to address them for a future release. :)

On my system, the M becomes an empty space. No animation at all. When the page loading finishes, then I get the M back. And Ug seems to have the same problem...

Different versions, maybe? What version of Moz are you using?

I'm running the Mozilla found by default in FC2.

[fjleal]

And you don't see the animation also? Well, that theme was made for Moz 1.6, I believe... That's the version FC2 installs. I'm running Moz 1.8a XFT + GTK2. But you should be able to see it... hum...

I also found out that in the Calendar, the month view table doesn't get properly resized... The scrollbars don't show up, and that's what renders the theme useless for me. I can't use the Calendar this way. :(

I found this link to a Bluecurve Mozilla theme. It works for me with the 1.6 in Core 2. I don't use calendar so I don't know how that does.

[fjleal]

Seems to work fine. Thanks Scavenger for the link! ;)

[Scavenger]

I found it with a Google search.

There is also a link to it here.

Why not use epiphany? That's based on mozilla and fits in perfectly with BlueCurve or any GNOME theme

[fjleal]

Mozilla is a suite of applications (browser, e-mail client, IRC client, HTML editor, address book, calendar...) that share a common code base and work together. Epiphany is just a front-end for the browser.

I'm now viewing this thread with a Bluecurve Mozilla thanks to the link by Scavenger. It looks nice and fits in well (not that I don't like the Modern theme, however).
