    That's my Firefox 3 layout. Nothing fancy. I like a lot of real estate when I'm browsing the forums, that's why you don't see the main menu toolbar. ;)

    What's your web browser look like? It doesn't matter which web browser you have. It could be Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, or what ever; just post a screenshot of it.

    This should be interesting with all the different themes, add-ons, and even layouts so many web browsers are capable of.

    --------------------

    How to Take a Screenshot of Only Your Web Browser

    1. Make your web browser the active window.
    2. Press Alt+Print Screen to take a screenshot of that active window.
    3. Paste it into a graphics program (MS Paint), save, and upload it.


    --------------------

    I'd also like to remind everybody not to post gigantic images of your web browser; please just post the thumbnail.

    [​IMG]

    And of course, flaming or debating which browser is better are prohibited. Let's keep it nice and friendly. Thanks. :)

    Also, for Linux, the directions should say "you know what to do ;) "

    That hurts Aidan, "You know what to do" along with posting this in the Windows forum. :p It really hurts. Here's my Firefox for June.

    Oh right. To be honest, I think this thread would be a whole lot better if it wasn't limited to Windows - people would get to see how Firefox looks in Linux etc.

    Mine looks similar to yours. :p

    Well, as Calvin reminded me, it is the Windows OS and Software Forum...

    Opera is such a good-looking browser. Is it possible to place the navigational toolbar above the toolbar for tabs?

    Yeah, I know. It's sad. :(

    While you can change the font in Windows, you can not configure the font rendering to your liking as you would in Linux. We have the ClearType for that. :rolleyes:

    Anyone else getting royally confused when viewing these pics. I always forget what I was looking at and the whole browser within a browser thing is driving me insane! Especially when I'm viewing these in full screen and someone just happens to have the exact same layout as me :/

    I posted it first and then added the link because i had to get it from my sig.
    Now that you mention it the fonts in Linux are much sharper and easier on my eyes. If you really like them why don't you give Linux a try, when i finish my Linux Switcher's Guide i'd like you to take a look. :D
    It sure is, there's no forum for unified software discussion which kinda sucks. Although it is much better to keep Windows, Mac, and Linux separated as Windows fanboys would spam the Linux threads and Linux and Mac fanboys would just report them and get the spammers banned. So goes to circle of life.

    I feel exactly the opposite way. The fonts are the single thing I dislike most about my Ubuntu Linux installation. However... I guess you can't please everybody, eh?

    Nope, you can't. But it is extra easy to change the fonts if you hate them. Just open up the Appearance configuration tool and go the Fonts tab and change it. I suggest DejaVu Sans (my favorite) but you can experiment with others. You can also use Windows fonts in Ubuntu if you hate all Linux fonts.

    It's not the fonts themselves. It's the way text is rendered. Characters with sharp angles that don't fit in the grid look mushy. That's Qs, Ws, Rs, Ys, As, Gs, Ks, Zs, Xs, Vs, Ns, and Ms, and numerous non-letter characters.

    The font is simple and cute, just like Linux :rolleyes: ? I will definitely read your guide :D

    Can the font used in Firefox in Windows be changed?

    First download the stylish add-on then vista theme for firefox 3 and then dark gray redesign for google. Here are the links
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108
    http://userstyles.org/styles/5189
    http://userstyles.org/styles/1693

    There is a bunch of other stuff on the stylish sight so just look around and you will probably find some other cool stuff. Also use the default firefox 3 theme and apply the stylish theme because the stylish theme isnt actually a firefox 3 theme it just changes the color.
