While the OS visual integration is the warm welcomed feature in Firefox 3, many people agree that the new default theme sucks somehow. I wrote about the ugliness of Keyhole button once. It can be fixed easily but the Firefox Mac theme (Proto) is still not polished as I expect.

The search of best Firefox 3 theme has begun. Vista users have better chance for beauty Vista Glass. For Mac, the best I can find is Aronnax’s state-of-the-art GrApple theme. (I prefer GrApple Yummy Blue)

Anyway, GrApple has somethings I don’t like. I get used to Firefox closed-tab button on the right, not Safari’s left side that GrApple Yummy tries to mimic. At first, I thought this can be fixed easily via userChrome.css but after some investigation, it was hard-coded in binding.xml file. Then I have no choice but release a new theme on my own.

Here is the new GrApple Tweak and its changelog from original GrApple Yummy Blue.

Tab

Move close button to the right and bring back the favicon.

Feed icon

True feed icon has only one color: orange. I don’t understand Apple’s attempt to chance it into blue (and also Mozilla’s attempt to follow them). So I replace it with Windows version from Winstripe theme.

Go & Search button

I’m not the fan of GrApple orange Go & Search button. I also switch them back to blue Mac Proto version.

So the whole picture looks like this:

Note: GrApple Tweak is just a temporary name. Let I ask Aronnax permission to use it first so I can upload to AMO.
