Beta of Firefox B5 theme (dark)

Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
Ok, I have been working on modding up a Firefox skin with a B5 theme to it. I have a beta (v0.5) now. It still has some icons I haven't changed.

What I am asking is people download it and give me feed back. I've listed on the temp webpage I stuck up what areas I really need feedback on and what visual bugs I know still exist.

It is a dark blue-grey based theme. I am planning to make a light blue-grey based theme eventually, but I am trying to get one finished before I start a 2nd one.

Here is the beta webpage:

Preview:


It is a mod of the Noia Extreme theme and is arround 950kb.

BTW: If anyone wants to volunteer time making some of the icons I haven't done...I'd welcome the help. Most icons without yellow on them I have done minimal work on.

Now I await feedback :)

    Looks good, except a little dark for me (as you say, will be fixed in time) and the scrollbar is too much concentrated yellow. :)

    There is :)

    2 B5 icons, thunderbolts appear randomly, a G'Quan on the download page, a purple/green throbber, a whitestar on the "about firefox" page. I plan to put more renderings in the Options menu.

    Speaking of renderings, can anyone get me a render of the B5 station with transparent alpha backdrop (preferably saved as a PNG file with alpha data)? I'd like to use the station somewhere, but A% hasn't converted one to Blender yet :)

    Yes...I was noticing that about the scrollbar being yellow. I am trying to figure out how to fix it and yet not lose the gold/grey theme idea. The scrollbar color change was one of the last things I did before uploading the beta...and I was trying to get the beta up before I went to sleep.

    Any ideas on the scroll bar?

    Oh - and if anyone suggests something should be Green or Purple, only way that is getting in is if there is an equal balance of both colors in whatever image it is.

    I would suggest just making it darker. At the moment it practically glows, and so stands out too much.

    Looks good overall.

    My main gripe at the moment is that the folder icon on the toolbar does not change when it's expanded, and same thing goes for RSS feeds.

    Well, I had a changing version...and it looked real odd with the grey box over it. So I removed it.
  • ArikArik Galen's Apprentice
    could you change the icon to something that would have a logical open and closed state? If not, I guess that's ok.

    One other thing I noticed is that when a page is loading, the top right corner icon (which is a B5 logo by default) keeps alternating between Purple and Green. Is that an intentional effect (intential, for obvious reasons)?
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    Well...I could make something with an open and closed state...but that gets rid of the B5 Psi Corp logo :)

    As for the throbber...yeah...thats intentional. Purple and Green are endlessly warring. Only occasionally do we get a respit on B5. :D

    I was thinking what I can do is on active to shift the psi corp logo 1 pixel diagonally. This might work to make it change a little when opening but still keep the psi corp logo. I will experiment.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    Just a repeat of whats been said before.

    The yellow scroll bar is too yellow, and I'm finding the active tab to not realy fit the rest of the theme.
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    I think the active tab and the scrollbar suffer from the same problem. They were both created by taking the Noia theme and doing a hue-shift on it. What I should have done was create both from scratch and it would have looked better. The lighter yellow color might work with a grey theme so I need to back up this version first.

    I won't have time to do any work on the theme until next week.

    maybe use a jump gate for things that need to be opened and closed?
  • the link aint working for me
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    Rhett: I might be able to do that. I have a WIP model of jumpgate that A% sent me. Have to see how it renders up when dropped down to something that is about 10x10 pixels.

    Psi-killer: Site occasionally goes down for short periods of time (generally less then 5 minutes) - my guess is during data backup, though I am not sure. Try again is all I can say.
