Newgrounds Classic theme for Firefox 3.5

Posted by Snake-Arsenic Jul. 13, 2009 @ 4:30 PM EDT

I should have it out within the next two weeks if there are no bugs found. This new version will make several improvements over the current, most of which can't be seen but there is one that can, Personas.

Personas are skins made up of a header and footer image along with colours for text and an extra colour for Macs that affects the title bar. Because they're simply two images with a text and title bar colour they are very easy to make, often confused with themes and unfortunately not many actual themes support them.

With NG Classic 2.1 Personas will completely override the toolbar and allow you to use them with all three toolbar icon sets as well as the compact mode. You can change the backgrounds of the windows to anything you like. If you want a darker Newgrounds theme you can have a darker theme, or maybe something to match your favourite aura? Can't find what you're looking for, dust off your favourite image editor and make it.

If you'd like a larger preview visit the official website entry to see the Persona I used for testing. To find out more about Personas, visit the Get Personas website.

Oh and one last thing, if you do decide to make one, people may not always have the same setup that you do so be kind and leave toolbars, menubars and their contents out of the actual image. The persona in the screenshot does exactly this and can survive almost any setup. You don't want to end up making a piece of crap like this.

I have been working on a new feature for NGNP that still hasn't quite been fleshed out yet but as soon as I submit NG Classic for Mozilla approval I'll open a log on it so you can keep up to date and some more private betas will be released when what I'm working on is in it's alpha stage.

First thing I'll do is update the style server so the current beta users can theme the wide layout properly, that's the part that has to be done before any updates.

Yay, sounds great! The only reason I haven't updated to 3.5 is because "Your" Firefox theme hasn't come out. I love the 3.0 one right now and can't wait for this one :D.

Thanks, I was lagging behind a bit, partly to see what Mozilla would do with Firefox with this version (3.5 was originally meant to have a few more features than it does now) but I think it worked out well in the end.
