Not me, So, I go for the austere look.

That's a busy little systray you have there, btw...

I like Nioa, the "comic" icons suit my temperament

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:15:39

Go on, Alan, give us a screen shot.

kinmel · Dec 11, 2008, 10:25:05

Here we go Firefox with Nioa theme

somanyholes · Dec 11, 2008, 10:25:08

that goes look like quite a fun one

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:26:29

TBH, I prefer yours, So. I'm more a neutrals man myself.

somanyholes · Dec 11, 2008, 10:31:48

any more themes peeps out there?

kinmel · Dec 11, 2008, 10:45:39

Aeon theme is quite clean looking

DarkStar · Dec 11, 2008, 10:52:31

So,
Which theme is that you have? When I've looked for themes all the ones I like are not compatible with FF3. Also, how do you get a taskbar to expand and take two or three rows of icons. I tried unlocking the taskbar and dragging but that didn't work. Likewise, how to get the clock like that, mine just shows the time and I have to hover over it to get the day and date. Sorry for being such a noob

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 10:59:52

You should just be able to unlock the taskbar and drag it, Ian. When you do, the day/date will appear automatically.

DarkStar · Dec 11, 2008, 11:12:30

Thanks Rik, I had tried unlocking the taskbar before - didn't work this time either until I dragged it from the end above the clock

Now to get the theme sorted out

Ian

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 11:13:10

Glad that's one thing sorted, Ian.

I use one called PitchDark

Rik · Dec 11, 2008, 14:55:09

I use one called Pitchfork.

vitriol · Dec 11, 2008, 21:38:46

My current FF3 theme is Phoenity Reborn

Simon · Dec 11, 2008, 22:16:11

I couldn't find any I preferred over the default theme, so I've stuck with that for when I use FF.

Looking at somanyholes' screencap of his browser window got me thinking about our individual preferences: how much of our monitor's viewing space his devoted to clutter when looking at web pages, and how much to the viewed page?

My web page viewed area is 89% of my monitor, somanyholes' is 74%. Anyone else?

drummer · Dec 11, 2008, 23:05:50

I use Phoenity Modern right now because Orbit isn't available for FF3.

On my Nioa theme I have 83% for page viewing, but I have given up some of the real estate for added functionality and efficiency. My Bookmarks Toolbar has large numbers of RSS feeds inside organised folders and sites that are visited many times a day are available at a single click. The bottom Status Bar provides me with rolling information too that keeps me informed about performance etc.

The amount of page data visible is much more affected by the text size etc that you are comfortable with, to reproduce your page example with the same toolbars as you, I need to reduce my text size by 20%, so with my comfort level I will invariably need to scroll, whatever toolbars I have visible.

Strangely, although I have widescreen monitors and so have spare width, I cannot stand to use sidebars instead of the toolbars at top and bottom !

Sebby · Dec 11, 2008, 23:24:55

There's only one theme that I like, which is Qute. It's very nice and simple.

Simon · Dec 11, 2008, 23:50:50

I hate toolbars, sidebars, or any sort of clutter on my browser window. All I have is the main menu bar, plus the navigation / address bar, and that's it. Can't do a screenshot now, as I'm on my phone.

Lance · Dec 11, 2008, 23:53:12

All i have is the standard stuff plus the google toolbar. I don't see the point of changing how the browser looks as its not the browser i'm looking at, but rather the page it is displaying!

Simon · Dec 12, 2008, 00:01:29

Ah, but if the browser looks cack, then that distracts from the websites, just as a badly decorated room hides it's better features.
