Hello everyone,

As promised, and thanks to your helpful replies, I've improved the previous 
Firefox theme. A lot.

First of all, I now offer three distinct themes based on the latest and 
greatest version of the GNOME icons: Human, Tangerine and Tango. Human and 
Tangerine have an orange selection color, Tango has blue (for use with 
Clearlooks).

All themes are built using the same script which is a big advantage. I added 
automatically generated preview images (or "adverts") which I'm sure you'll 
love. I also fixed the Human / Tangerine icon mixup.

I've made a point-n-click webinstaller, available on my website, here:
http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/projects/ubuntu-firefox-themes/download-install.php

Be sure to allow theme installation from my domain "www.ffnn.nl" for this to 
work, by using the yellow bar at the top of the browser window.

I also wrote a technical background story, could be interesting for some, 
check it out here:

Please test out one or more of the new themes and let me know where I can 
still improve them. I still need the icons I originally requested (in order 
of importance):

- A lock icon, possibly the same as secure / insecure (preferences)
- A history icon (main toolbar)
- A neutral bookmarks icon without the "add" star (main toolbar)
- A neutral bookmarks icon which is opened (main toolbar)
- An Add Separator icon (bookmarks window)
- A "Move" action icon (bookmarks window)
- A "Rename" action icon (bookmarks window)
- Two page orientation icons: landscape & portrait (page setup)
- A Plugin / Jigsaw / puzzle piece icon (extensions)
- A neutral "tab" icon without "add" (preferences)
- A secure / insecure https icon, could be a lock (address bar)

Tomorrow I'll try to create several of these icons myself by modifying 
existing ones. There's also some icons in that list which could be ignored 
without any major consequences, for instance the secure / insecure default 
icons are good enough to reuse. Besides the icons, I'm going to try and fix 
the "tab close" button as well.

I think that's about it for now. Feedback is very welcome.

With kind regards,

Frank Schoep
