Iowa State Firefox Theme?

[cyfanatic]

Anyone know of an Iowa State FireFox theme? I have come across some very cool college themes but haven't found an Iowa State theme. Does anyone have the skills to design or make one? Ohio State has a very cool one. Just found this Oklahoma State theme, here it is:

Firefox's extensions are well-documented. It should not be too difficult for someone to do this.

I wish I had the skills or knowledge to create one...but I don't. There are some cool themes for FireFox though.

Extensions are even cooler - I really like NoScript and recommend it.

I could try to give it a shot, but I am not sure what software applications I need, as far as programming the theme is concerned. I would have to do some further reading.

Sounds like a good project, though. Maybe we could get Jeremy to host it, or at least provide a link to the Mozilla download page.

That would be great. If you have the time and decide to take it on...would you post it here and let us know it is available?

The Coach Tressel theme is pretty cool...and claims to be officially sanctioned by the school.

Found a blog which has a few pointers to get started. If we wanted to make something that actually got hosted by Mozilla, though, we'd likely need permission from ISU to use their colors and trademarks.

I would suggest going to cyclones.com, getting a contact from the Marketing department (the group that does the wallpapers), and emailing a suggestion to them to make a Firefox theme. They probably have someone over there who can do that sort of thing.

I just posted my try at a theme in a new thread: http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/off-topic/20011-cyclones-firefox-theme.html

Sure turned out harder than I thought it would be. The documentation about how to do it is close to nonexistent.
