The following article has some useful tips on getting KDE to look better (it’s geared towards OpenSuSE, but the general ideas remain the same): http://en.opensuse.org/Optimal_Use_of_Fonts_on_SuSE

The only aspect I had to change, was the Anti-Alias setting (my exclusion range is 0-7 pts). The whole discussion about 96 dots per inch is useful, but it’s really not essential to get the dpi as close to 96 as possible.

Firefox behavior is influenced quite substantially by the anti-alias setting, especially if you use smaller fonts (gmail comes to mind).

It may look fine in Ubuntu, but it looks horrible in Kubuntu. Any plans for making it look better in KDE?

Well, the Windows one looks a bit slab, though. I wish they could have that cool look on Windows XP as well.

To get the home button up to the main toolbar. first hit view and click to show the bookmarks toolbar now right click on the bookmarks toolbar and click customize, once that window open you can drag and drop the home button so just click it (hold) drag up to wherever you want it.

“the home button is sent to the bookmarks toolbar by default” Is there any way to put the Home button back onto the Nav toolbar? I did not have the bookmarks toolbar visible and run the Nav toolbar with small icons. Customise Toolbar does not have the Home button listed.

I like the combined forward and back history.

I dont agree with putting the home button in the bookmarks toolbar. What’s the rationale behind it? I use the home button a lot because i use Google personal pages and from time to time i need to go back to it to check my email or read a news update.
Not having the home button sucked until i discovered where it had disappeared. Bring it back please!

The icons look like crap, absolutely no personality. Expect more from Firefox. i like the redesigned back button from a useability standpoint, but it doesnt look good.

You people obviously did not try running Firefox on KDE. It looks awful. You must do something..

One of the first things I do upon opening Firefox is to select BBC “Latest Headlines”, but with this Beta version I have to go to the bottom and force it to “Open” in order to read the newest list. This is not necessary with Version 2 on the Mac using OS 10.4.11. Why is this so?

Otherwise, nice though the program is - it’s always been my preferred browser - it does not look a whole lot different to me. Oh, and I find Opera is MUCH faster at finding a file that I want downloaded. Again, I can’t figure out why.

thanks for the firefox 3 . But same problems occurs everytime that my firefox crashes up in my system. The problem is from firefox 2.11 and still the same thing is happening.

and finally my request goes to kevin for creating and placing the firefox 3.0b2 theme.

Thanks

Sorry to dissapoint you Leo but Longhorn IS Vista, it was the codename for the beta version of vista before it was released.

I’m not sure if my comment got submitted last time (another page caused Firefox to crash), but I’d like to request that all of the themes are cross compatible, because often we dislike the OS default style (Luna is ugly) and would prefer to have the icons for an alternative platform (for instance, if you have patched your icons to look like the tango gnome style).

Also, a gnome-colored theme (ala the Gnome-Tango icons) would be excellent, if there is time :)

Thank you. I am really happy that there is a theme that makes Firefox look closer to the system that it is on. Much appreciated work!

“the home button is sent to the bookmarks toolbar by default;”

grr. I disagree with that, and many others did when it was suggested before. It’s used a lot and needs to be on the main bar.

I hope “by default” means we can easily add it to the main bar as we can add other buttons… yes?

The two-sided back-forward button sounds like an interesting concept…

And Mr.Faaborg definitely knows what what he is talking about. Some great explanations.

Thanks for sharing this.
