Camifox Theme for Firefox Rocks!

July 11, 2008 at 6:47 am · Themes

As soon as I say I like this theme, somebody is going to pop out of the wood work and say how awful my choice in themes really is. To keep those people at bay I will only say… oh forget them. Camifox is a unique new look for Firefox, yet doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel.

Here is a little more about the theme from the designer:

Firefox 3, in living color. Camifox replaces Firefox’s monolithic toolbar buttons on Mac OS X (and the icons on Windows and Linux) with the bright, colorful icons from the Mozilla Camino browser, and it also makes the tab bar easier to read with higher contrast.

How does it look? Camifox, if I dare to say is a great looking theme in my opinion. Here is how it looks on Mac, Vista, XP and Linux:

Camifox on Vista Camifox on Linux Camifox on Mac

You can pick Camifox up for yourself on the Firefox Add-ons web site. How do you feel about it, love it or hate it? (Having Problems? Try the Alternative Download Link!)

Hey there, I’m the developer for Camifox. Thanks for this post! The Linux version (as well as the better-looking Windows version) is waiting in the queue to be approved by Mozilla. Until it pops up on the main page, you can get it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addons/versions/7527

LOL so true, it seams.

No, I like the default Vista theme, and I even use it on Ubuntu. (Witch is already with a Mac theme, so it looks kind of weird but cool)

@falconer,

I like Camifox, but I generally prefer using the Small Icons option. Was deactivation of this option your creative choice, or is it a bug in your theme?

Thanx.
Henry

@TheBigHenry,
I don’t know which version you downloaded, but Small Icons were added as an option to Camifox about a week ago. Make sure you have the latest version (1.2.2) and you’ll be able to use Small Icons.

…and if I may add, I think the small icons actually look a lot better on Windows and Linux; it has been my preferred setup, in fact, on those systems.

Great theme, congrats to its author.

I only had one little problem with it. I use it at work on a themed Windows XP and it looks just great. The problem comes when I try to use it at home with the Glasser extension installed (Windows Vista, of couse). Do you know which tweaks should be done to userChrome.css in order to get both things to work together? Thanks in advance.

@Leonardo,
Unfortunately I don’t have access to a computer that can run Windows Vista with the Aero theme and glass effects, so I have no method of testing it.

What Do You Think?
