Safarifox : The Revolution

Hi everybody,

I have got a new idea!!!!

Why don't anybody use Pixel perfect Theme to create a new firefox.

Firefox is Open Source, isn't it? So if any body can just replace the classic.jar, browse.jar and en_US.jar fir add the compact menu and tabbrowser extensions and package it as an installer.

So, peple who have firefox can uninstall their firefox and install their new Modded Firefox. Some adjustments can be done manually.

The Benefits:

1. Easier to change the look of Firefox.

2. Mac people who want to use Firefox but want the looks of Safari can just use the modded firefox.

3. Less Problems.

The Link for pixel perfect's files. Pixel Perfect

I think the browse.jar and en_US.jar doesn't work.

I am asking the mozilla people to help too. Who's in? What do you think?

P.S: I personally prefer pixel perfect than hill's theme.

Regards,

Sithan

i like the idea a lot (even thought i like hills' skins more than PP :/ )

EDIT: maybe change that thread title and add [request]?

#242327

Better post this idea on mozillazine forums, it's more likely that you find people able to create firefox installers out there

The idea is very good, keep us informed!

Unbeliever,

Please suggest a good title.

Pe8er,

Thanks. I will do it now.

how aboout:

[request] SafariFox installer

or

[request] Mod FireFox installer to include SafariFox mod

or something like that.

but idea is great, let us know what u did on mozillazine!

#242345

Great job, but how install? Please help me. Thanks.

#242353

there is NOTHING to install yet.

he`s asking for an installer not releasing it :slant:

#242357

It sounds like a superb idea, I'd love a pixel perfect firefox skin

#242362

What Do yo think about the new Topic?

@unbeliever : thanks for the suggestion.

#242574

Much better - Now we just need to do some work on it

#242576

Those Mozillazine guys don't even post a reply.

Help.

Hill's Theme is very nice too. I am using it now.

#242829

I have a feeling if this actually goes through, its going to be simply amazing!

Hi everybody,

I got a reply from a person at mozillazine.

Dave 88 said,

"Not a bad idea but the PixelPerfect theme it seems is for FX 0.8 so the theme would have to be made to work with FX 1.0 if you were going with that one, hills themes are for mostly 1.0PR and the newest are 1.0 so they would be easier I think for someone taking up the project.

If someone wants to make a new theme from scratch, I still have the Safari v1.2 graphics resources I snagged from some place I cant remember so if someone wants them let me know."

Please gives some feedback. Mr Hills please respond too. I am using yor theme now. It is excellent. I think the browser.jar doesn't work for FF 1.0.

Bye for now.

Why not just make it an installable theme. It's easy - but i'm not going to do it. I'm busy with my own stuff. You can do all that without having to replace a bunch of files. (reverse favicon with tab close, etc)

#243700

Thanks for your info I-knot.

Can anybody do that.

#243777

if lynchknot gives me the know-how i might try and do it

#243779

oppssssssssssss

There are tutorial stickies above. You can turn this into a theme within minutes - then iron out the bugs later. I don't see why he went this route to begin with. It does not make any sense to me. Hell, you can even drag and drop the browser and global folder right into another theme overwritting it and come up with, basically, what he has done. Then move certain image files - like out of Comnunicator, where it does not belong in the first place, and into Global (if I remember correctly his file structure).Then edit necessary files to reflect the change in theme name and so on......

hey, i realize this is my first post, but anyway. Ive been scouring the net for a good safari theme that will work on firefox 1.0 on os x. there are none (that i can find). anyway, i think this is a great idea, and id love to contribute what meeger css skills i have to the project.
