How to convert FF skins to 1.5

I resisted switching to 1.5 for a long time because Longhorn Alternative is to my mind the best FF theme ever. It matched everything because the buttons stayed the same but the background assumed the color of the window, so I could use it with every single VS. A lot of 1.5 themes don't do that, so they don't match the Visual Style, like in the picture below.

I know there is Smooth Alternative, which I have used, but it's not the same.

Can anyone please tell me what to edit in the Jar file to make the LHA FF skin compatible with FF 1.5?

Even better, if you've already done so, can you send it to me?

Thanks a lot for your help guys!

Quoted from the "Firefox Skinning Guide" post:

"IMPORTANT! - Themes made for Firefox 1.07 or not specifically for 1.5 will NOT work with a simple version bump. They must be restructured and rebuilt. Ask the original author if this is an issue. Same goes for getting the Fission extension to work properly. The author of the theme must build it to accomodate that extension. There is no easy fix."

Sorry, man. That and the Royale Inspirat themes were my faves, too.

Thanks for the info. Guess I must not have looked through the skinning guide thoroughly enough.

That is a real shame. I messaged 6Xgate on Devart and askked him to do it. Who knows if he will. He seems content with his reworking (Smooth Alt).

Stefanka is very reclusive as well, so those lovely themes might never be updated either.

But let's keep our fingers crossed. Thanks again for your time.
