Have fun 
[release] Firefox Pinstripe Theme
Not to be rude or ungrateful, but what is the difference b/t the Win and Mac Firefox icons?

well I don't know..... maybe it's 128×128 instead of 48×48??

This is the reason I asked...
From the Pinstripe author's page:
2) Mozilla themes are usually made by manipulating images, border and background colors etc to achive the desired look. The Pinstripe theme uses an API provided by Mozilla called nsTheme to draw the widgets. This API allows Pinstripe to draw the widgets and some backgrounds using the Mac's Appearance Manager . So the operating system draws most of the theme. Obviously the Appearance Manager does not exist on Windows or Linux, so Pinstripe will not have the Aqua-like appearance on those platforms.3) The above means that if I were inclined to create a version of Pinstripe for Windows or Linux, I would have to use the regular Mozilla theming method of using slices of images to create an exact copy of the Aqua interface. This would be infringing on Apple's copyrighted work and I have no desire to tangle with their legal department.
Anyone is free to edit, change, re release, distribute all those resources in all those screenshots.
It's released and created by the *mozilla* foundation. not apple. apple has nothing to do with it. Firefox is released under the GPL. Do what you want with it, print out SS's of it and wipe your ass with it, the mozilla foundation could care less.
more news at 11.
that post right above mine wasn't there when I replied.
That post is referring to the widgets. Like, OK buttons, radio buttons, those sort of things are being natively called to os X. All the icons/images are fine to use, they're included in the theme. basically it's just saying that it's using OS X .dlls (if you will) to make the control buttons.
to further clarify that, the widgets he's referring to are like when you apply a windowbilnds/msstyle theme. It changes your button, but the icons on your programs remain the same. (:
the theme that i can download in the first post work under firefox 8.0?
because i try to install but he don't install under firefox....the theme don't appear in the page of themes!
Ciao Spike!
No it doesn't work for me, but you have to know that the theme you have downloaded should be selected as default theme
Just to ask; Who is actually trying/doing a port of the Pinstripe theme to Firefox, now?
No-one seems to have said anything yet.. (This isn't to say I'm pressurizing anyone into saying anything, it'd just be nice to know. Otherwise we'll have like four ports pop up in under a week. 
)
And Deleted is correct.

It isn't exactly easy to make a Firefox/Firebird skin, at least not as easy as an Opera skin. Making the Pinstripe theme for Windows requires a lot of changes in the *.ini files and stuff (the same tabs, backgrounds and stuff). So I really understand if this theme isn't being made anytime soon. If you really want this skin I suggest you switch over to Opera 7.× and make a Pinstripe for it yourself, I did it within the hour, if you have any questions (as in how to make a skin for Opera, change the icon, name and stuff) I'm more than willing to help you out! 
Good luck!! :who's your daddy:
Edit: Maybe you should wait a little bit longer, Firefox 0.8 is still hot from the press

I've been working on one. Here's what I have so far. This is a slightly older screenshot. The folders and links in the bookmark manager/history etc have been changed to the proper blue folder versions and the globe respectively.
Have a lot of other work to do at the moment, so it might take a little while before I can complete it for a release.
I was able to get the tabs sort-of skinned last night. The active and inactive tabs looked perfect, but there was this discolored, lighter area in the empty region where no tabs exist. If anyone knows of a definite way to skin the tabs properly, it would be great if you could let me know. Would speed up things quite a bit.
Cheers.
@XP_2003; Aye, I poked out and tried a few things.. But skinning isn't my thing. :canadian: I guess I'll sit tight with the default theme until it's out.. Or until a Safari one is, whichever. 
@NetRyder; Looking very nice.. I'll be super happy to hear of the progress you make when your time permits more work on it..!

I kinda hate to sit and wait, that's why I'm using Opera right now. When a good port of Pinstripe is out, I'm going to use Firefox again 
Very nice to know that the pinstripe theme is actually being worked on. Kudos to you, NetRyder! :rule:
Waiting is not an issue for me. I can make do with the default theme for a little longer. The screenshot is looking real sweet to me. Just keep the enthusiasm and perfect the pinstripe look!
Thanks in advance!
I've been working hard today workign on the Firefox port, and i've nearly finished, need to know the code of how to set the background and get rid of the line between the toolbar buttons and the bookmarks bar, and a few bugs.
Heres the download:
Firefox Pinstripe for Windows 894 KB
To install it download it to disk then go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome and make a backup of your current classic.jar and put the new one in its place, restart Firefox and bingo.
The port is basically mixing the OS X code and Windows code to make it work properly, the toolbar buttons are now perfect and so is the bookmarks.
Hope you like this, even tho its not finished.

@Ash, Try editing the toolbar.css border-top and border-bottom.
It worked with the previous version. I hope I understood it the right way
Thanks goes to lynchknot for helping me with this one.

Are the tabs supposed to be all nasty and grey, Ash?
Other than that, it looks rather nice

Aye, they are if you mean the selected one.
Very quick and works fine (apart from the few little bugs you mentioned). Nice, and quick, job!
Very nice. Some bugs tho
- Folders in the bookmark toolbar have bad border on mouseover (drop down arrow is too small)
- Properties not yet skinned
- Tabs (already mentioned)
And the 2 you said yourself.
Very good, thanx a lot.
Speachless!!
this is awsome :woot:
i thought i'd die of the default theme of firefox (for the lack of themes ) but you came to the rescue :who's your daddy:
thanks a bunsh!!!
EDIT: can some one tell me how to remove this nagging blue thingy
Yeah looks cool, bit buggy tho. And we definitely need those backgrounds
Very nicely done. Loved the new change to the default skin.
My tabs doesn't show any highlights though, no indication of whichever is the active one. Is that supposed to be the case now? And the favicons look a little stretched in the y-direction... Otherwise, great.
[Edit] Oh, and I noticed that items in the options, as well as the tabs are all centre justified as well. 
[/Edit]
Question: what's the bug beneath the search bar??

Nice job!! (Y)
You seem to be having the same tab-bar theme I was talking about. The color of an inactive tab and the color of the tab-area without any tabs doesn't match. The grey shade of the inactive tab is darker. I'm not sure how to fix this either.
Options dialog icon skinning should be pretty straightforward. That was one of the first things I did.
The bookmarks toolbar is pretty much almost perfect. Great job on that one! That was the next thing I was going to start working on.
I started working on mine pretty much as a personal thing...it's the first time I'm doing this. Seeing how much has already been done, should I stop working on mine? Or do you want to finish this as a joint project?
Opinions on this would be appreciated.

I started this thread to get everyone working on this project, the code is there it just needs to be modified for the windows version.
It would be great if you could help with the development aswell.
I put the background file in the jar, is should be called pinstripe.png so we need to get that thing sorted first.
The tabs are almost done, just the bottom tab image needs to be fixed and the website icon (favicon) needs to be removed as in the image.
Lets hope to see everyone contrubitung to this port since it will be finished quicker if everyone helps.
