Actually, there isn’t an option in the poll to vote on whether you use XP but with a custom theme. I think Luna AND Classic are ugly.

Good point. Just added an option and reset the poll. You may need to delete mozillalinks.org cookie to recast your vote. Thanks.

I didn’t like Luna at first but over time it grew on me… Now it’s all I use.

I think Luna is incredibly ugly, and I change it whenever I can get away with it. Every time I see it, I think about how much of a shame it is they switched away from Qute.

Try Media Center style. XP Home and Pro users can download (legally) from Microsoft Download.

A bad thing about Media Center style is that it comes with only one blue color – Luna has three (blue, silver, and olive green). Luna is ugly in whatever color though.

I just don’t like either Luna or Classic skins. Both are sleeping boring. I prefer to use a skin that resembles Flock’s theme. Baby blue with aesthetic buttons–it out shines all the rest of Firefox’s themes I’ve seen so far.

How did you get Luna to use the default icons?

I have Windows 2000 and I love the look of Luna’s tabbar, so I went to Mozilla Add-ons to grab it. But, alas! It shows a square reload button which I don’t like as much as the Classic one, among other things.

I use the Default Luna theme. I’ve never found another theme I liked as much. The skill of a good theme is that you don’t even notice it – simple, clear and unobstrusive is best!

i don’t use a theme. text only, no icons and a custom animated throbber.

I use Window Blinds with the Soft Crystal skin by Pixtudio. It’s much nicer than the Luna theme and gets rid of that ugly green Start menu button. For FF I use the Classic Winstripe theme by Pikachu.
