    My favorite one is iPox but there are still a couple of bugs that bother me too much to use it (extension incompatibilities and such). I also like the Netscape one and Maczilla Default (waiting for round URL bar). Right now I'm currently using the Flock theme, but I'm hoping for an a big iPox update that'll address my issues, it's been awhile since an update.

    I use the default theme. I just can't be bothered changing anything but the toolbar layout on Firefox anymore.

    Well for FF which I don't use that much anymore I like "Aquatint", with Opera I like "likeie" which works well with my Vista theme.

    Qute. It's almost like the default but the icons are slightly improved.

    Silver Skin 2.6.6 and every now and then I will switch to the outlook blue. Very small footprint so you can get max viewable area.

    is there any way to relocate toolbars like you can in IE? I hate having 3 levels of toolbars, with so much wasted space in some of them.

    Yes. I have mine set up so that I have my menu, nav buttons, bookmarks, address and google all one one toolbar line. You just rt click on the top bar and then drop and drag the below bars to the top and organize in the order that you like. I also use the "compact menu" extension to make the menu bar into a drop down style. Saves alot of room for the rest of the toolbars.

    I'm swapping back and forth between the RedShift V2 Beta (shown here) and the NASA Night Launch, with a set of add-on extensions.

    You guys should stick with default theme. Hogs a bit less memory.

    Well, I have 2GB installed, of which only 28% is currently in use, and the Vista Reliability and Performance Monitor shows Firefox V2 having a working set size of 39760 KB with the default theme and 42804 KB with the Red Shift V2 Beta theme. An OK trade-off in my world.

    I use Qute, all the simplicity of the default, but it feels a bit more refined. I don't know why they switched the default away from it.

    I use the Cylence theme: Obsidian variation. It basically changes all the buttons to black.

    I wish there was something to make it look more like IE in Vista with Aero and stuff. I hate it that so many applications don't get to look as good as Microsoft's or don't even use Aero at all. (Hello iTunes and AIM 6.)

    I just installed NASA Night Launch, and I agree 100% with this opinion. It is a very nice looking theme!

    Yes, this is because they'd rather use their own GUI to differentiate... I agree, though, it's annoying as heck... especially iTunes.

    I use Doodle Plastik because i like the childish look, and big icons. I just can't live with the small icons of virtually every other theme.

    myFirefox for the theme and personal menu to hide the menubar is what I use. I like it because it's very space-efficient, plus it fits in well with Aero.

    Default. I tried Cylence Saphir and didn't like it much better, and tried Cylence Obsidian to better match Royale Noir, but I just like the default. Also tried Red Shift once - not at all my thing. Have to remember to ununstall those soon so Gran Paradiso quits checking for updates.
