Hello everyone,

As expected I've improved the Firefox theme set again today. Another couple of 
hours of work resulted in the following changes for this release:
- Added proper icons for History, Bookmarks, Secure, Insecure, Tab, Bookmark 
Move, Page Orientation and Plugins
- Updated the Bookmark Rename icon to better match defaults
- Fixed "tab close" issue

Thanks go out to Tobias Wolf, who pointed me to several Tango mailing lists, 
development sites and ready-to-use icons. The Firefox themes are now almost 
complete, there are only three missing icons left:

- Preferences Lock icon, should be 32x32, now using actions/lock
- Bookmark Add Separator icon, should be 24x24, now using actions/document-new
- Bookmark Rename icon, should be 24x24, now using actions/format-justify-left

I also filed a bug report against Firefox for that last one, read the details 
on it on Malone (please comment if I'm wrong):
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/43334

If I could get some advice on those remaining three icons before tomorrow 
evening (20:00 GMT) that'd be great. If the current icons look good, I'd like 
to hear it, if there are better ones just let me know as well. Just shout.

Even with those last three remaining issues I feel that the themes are getting 
ready for prime-time. If you could all pitch in some more testing I'd really 
appreciate it. My plan is to notify ubuntu-devel tomorrow so that the 
discussion mentioned in a lot of default theme related Firefox bugs on Malone 
can be resurrected. Anyone with good ideas regarding this can let me know.

Thanks for reading, I hope you've got some time to install the themes and 
check them out. If you do, be sure to drop me a note with your impressions.

With kind regards,

Frank Schoep
