    If you have a cool FireFox you want to show off, with use of themes, add-ons, or scripts; let's see it!

    Here's mine:

    I went for the minimalistic look to maximize viewing space.

    well i use a add-on theme for firefox, but my vista is patched with a custom theme.

    patched theme gives me the translucent borders around my windows, no borders when maximized, custom taskbar/start buttons, etc.

    Here's mine. Nothing special, really. I see a lot of people using the NASA Night Launch theme... it's nice, isn't it? Looks good with my custom NBR, actually. :p

    Nice setup and I agree, Nasa Night launch is a beautiful theme. Easy on the eyes, minimal and clean design. I've had this theme since it's launch four years ago and have yet to switch to another one.

    My only complaint with it so far is the lack of a customized add-on button (it's still green! :mad: )

    Very nice. I love Naver too. That's the other theme I use. I kind of alternate between NASA and Naver. (Ironically light and dark.)

    Yeah it would be. It's a nice theme, except the green...xD
    I'm sure there is a very similar looking one to that in a diff color. I'll look for one
    Why not Garnett and Scarlett xD
    Garnett is a real last name. ;p

    Well, technically there is a way. If you're proficient in CSS and you've got Photoshop or GIMP... you can mess with the theme and use it. If you want to publish it, you'll have to credit the author (of course) and contact him/her for courtesy's sake. :p

    it's glasser.

    i use glasser, locationbar2, fission, personal menu, smart stop/reload (from the original page of locationbar2) for the ui changes. oh, and grab'n'drag for "iphonestyle" browsing.

    i edited the style css from firefox to allow for a bigger dropdown menu for the locationbar. now it goes down the full screen.

    oh, and i switched search and locationbar hehe. like it more that way.

    aside from that, i have obviously adblock, the main reason to ever stay with firefox. and foxmarks, great for working with more than one system. customizegoogle for additional ad removals. and textlink.

    the top bar is vista itself. just enable aero to have it transparent or configurable to any color.

    i suggest all of you to get "Personal Menu" and get rid of the menubar at all. it's just eating up space. instead of a full row for the menu, i just have 3 buttons, one for the original menu, one for history, one for booksmarks.

    vertical space gets more and more expensive, as notebooks get more and more widescreen.

    not really fond of fullscreen :)
    though I do need the long address bar to see something sometimes :p
    that's why two bars :D
    by the big symbols you mean the icon? that's already small icon

    it is? looks big to me. yep i ment the adressbar on an own line. you saw my layout on the previous page, haven't you? even smaller than yours. fullscreen of course is always hide-everything so it's 100% height :)

    well, since I hide the status bar, I need something to look at the link which I'm going to click, so I use fission and the address bar will display the link when I hover a link, long address bar is ... enjoyable :p

    seen yours :)
    most probably because different theme, I just use default theme from firefox :D
