    Just curious if anyone knew of firefox themes where more then just the outer rim was translucent (cuz that happens in vista anyways), but also the background behind the "file" row, and the address bar row, etc.

    Also looking at how to make my taskbar translucent too. Any help appreciated. Thanks :)

    Not that i know of, but there is a way to make your taskbar transparent. You can use themes or vistaglazz. But since you have to install vistaglazz to use themes in the first place just download it.

    It says that just to keep the dev out of trouble. But it actually it never does.

    nah it works fine anyway thats what system restore for lol. it was weird that theme i showed you installed fine on vista 32 bit no need for vista glazz. then i switch to 64 bit i had to install vista glazz to get the theme to work. but if you do install vista glazz first click the pc icon on the left you will need to reboot then clock the middle icon to patch the files or what ever than you can use any theme you want. its safe ive done it on two pcs and it went great. and vista glazz has an option to undo what it did, so don't worry.

    No, its not currently possible due to how the Firefox interface is currently drawn. Better luck when v4 comes out.
