Firefox Themeing... (aka; Skinning)

A subject I'm becoming interested in. I have no formal knowledge/training in this area myself. So do not rely on me as a source for knowledge or schooling in this area. However... thanks to the gracious owner of the blog-site ' Unofficial Orange Update ' who was kind enough to respond to a request I made in regards to making the Fx themes 'Black' & 'Orange' compatable with the Thunderbird email client, I have newfound hope that this may become a reality. I will persu this task when time permits, but don't hold your breath just yet. It may be some time (if ever) as I'm very busy myself with things. Of course if and when this comes about I will certainly not post the results without the permission of the themes' originator (out of respect) which is ' Maple.nu '. (Maple.nus' Mozilla profile page can be found here.)

For those of you that may be interested in persuing the area of themeing for Fx etc., a good place to start your quest is via the Mozillazine forum related to themeing. The thread 'Unofficial Orange Update' referred me to is an excellent place to start, which you can find here. Take the time to view the other posts there too, as you'll find a great deal of knowledge and links within those postings for tools, code, and other related things to help you on your way. Obviously there is a lot to know and learn here. So be patient and don't give up on your quest.

In reference to the 'Black' & 'Orange' themes, if someone takes this task on and produces a working version for Thunderbird v1.5+, PLEASE come back and inform me (I'm personally a fan of 'Black'). I will post a link here for all whom would enjoy. I have been in contact with the originator of these themes and was informed that he just doesn't have time currently to update them due to his own site management (link above), but will do so when he can. I requested a version for Thunderbird, but he did not respond as to weather he will or will not create one. To that end, I hope you find this info helpful, or at least informative. Feel free to post comments. If you leave an email address I'll be sure to respond asap.

The Beginning...

This is a new blog in progress. In time I will add rumblings of various subjects. For now, if you'd like to post a comment or just say hi, feel free to do so. Take a moment and view my art page at Deviant Art . You can post comments about your likes and dislikes of my works, or just leave a note that you came by. I'll try to answer/reply to all as soon as I reasonably can. I'm very busy with a lot of things for the time being. As winter sets in, it gets colder outside and the daylight becomes less, I will spend more time with this blog and my art amongst other internet related stuff. For now I've got to take advantage of the weather! Thanks for stopping by!
