Cyclone Theme for Firefox 3.0

[Nick]

UPDATE: The theme has been approved by Mozilla and can now be installed directly from Firefox's website: http://addons.mozilla.org/addon/7758 without requiring an account. I believe it will also notify you when there is an update... which I might get around to doing soon to fix a few small things.

how do you save the zip as a jar file?
I can't figure that out.

When you click save as. Just type .jar after the name. It will automatically switch the program to a .jar program instead of a Zip.

It looks great by the way Nick, but is the cardinal a little different shade than the ISU Cardinal? Specifically the bar on the bottom?

This is the best option, although a few people weren't able to do this before. If this doesn't work, you can also just save it as a zip to begin with, then change the file extension after you have already downloaded it.

Good eye, CTAClone. I used all of the color codes specified by the athletic department, but Firefox does some weird shading at some points which can make certain spots still look a bit off. I changed the bottom bar's colors to fit with the top design (the .zip file that is posted is now updated). There is still a bit of shading on the tab background that is off that I haven't been able to fix yet, but it's not as noticeable.

I kind of like the tabs a different shade. It distinguishes them a little bit. The bottom bar looked a little purple. All in all, I think this freakin thing is awesome. Thanks for updating the theme.

This is awesome!

The funny thing is, about the updated .jar Nick posted, it was much easier to download it in IE instead of Firefox. It felt like an eternity while I was waiting for the page to load from IE. In firefox I could only save the link not the file, IE allowed me to save the file and rename it .jar. It was weird.

I can't get it to work. It says its not a valid install package

I have the same issue.

 

[Cyclone62]

Ditto on the install deal

followed the instructions thru IE...and it worked fine.


looks awesome

And CTA, that's what I tried to at first last night. However, I couldn't figure out how to do that from pulling the extensions out of the zip file since that was the only way I could download it at the time.

Great work! Looks outstanding! One of the better college "themes" out there! Thanks for your time and effort! Great stuff!

 

[keepngoal]

Thanks Nick... this is sweet.

great job.

it is hard to see the different tabs since there isn't a clear defining shade or line between them. would the yellow/gold outing the tabs work?

-keep

 

[Cyclone62]

Seriously. How are you guys not getting the invalid application thingy? Palmer, did you just download it in IE, then dragged it in the FF add-on thing or what?

 

[ISUFan22]

Did you remember to rename the file to .jar?

 

[Cyclone62]

yes I did.

This whole thing is making me feel Zoolander dumb.
