Classic Compact Theme and Add-on

Comments (1) · May 26, 2008 at 7:04 am · Firefox Themes, Firefox Usability

The tiny little theme we all know and love is now ready for Firefox 3.  Classic Compact might be my favorite out of all the “Mini Me” themes out there for Firefox.  Not only does it shrink the browser interface of Firefox but it also does so in a visually appealing way.

Not only do we get a theme to share though, we awesome have an add-on to help customize Classic Compact even more.  The rightfully named Classic Compact Options extension gives you a little more control over the specific theme itself.

Options include: FF2 buttons; keyhole arrows; turning off gradient backgrounds; modifying borders; OS scrollbars; dark system color support; merging menu bar into one menu button; etc.

So if your already growing tired of the default Firefox 3 theme, might give Classic Compact a shot.

Good, Bad and Ugly - Firefox Micro Themes

I promise to deliver you the shortest tiny Firefox theme roundup you will find anywhere on the World Wide Web. There are tons of themes out there, as you have seen through the years here on Firefox Facts but some themes are a lot smaller than most. They still pack the same punch, but for the true minimalist - these are the themes you must have to maximize your browsing space.

• miniFox & miniFoxFlat - both pretty to look at and still functional to use. both also have the same basic look and style.
• Classic Compact - seen pictured above, gives you a smaller version of the default theme.
• Le Breeze - tiny and not distracting in the least, it will help you keep your attention the web page you are viewing and not the browser your using.
  
• Nautipolis - not on any of my real top 10 lists (sorry gnome guys), it is small but kinda ugly to boot.
  
• Microfirefox - another slightly ugly, yet functional tiny them.
  
• Littlefox - looks like a clone of Nautipolis, where’s the difference?

Know of a great looking (and small) theme I might have missed? Please let me know about it. I like the idea of having a smaller Firefox interface to look at - I just have yet to really find the theme that pulls it all together for me.

Classic Compact Look to Firefox

Bigger is not always better.

Sometimes keeping things a little more compact means that you have more room for the more important things.

That is where the Classic Compact Firefox theme is so valuable. It gives you that classic look of the Firefox theme but in miniature form.

A very compact version of Firefox’s default theme, which minimizes vertical space consumed by menu, tool, tab, find and status bars as much as possible without hurting overall appearance.

Text Size Toolbar

Need a few buttons on your toolbar to help you enlarge or shrink the fonts in front of you? This can sometimes be a big pain, especially if you have a large screen resolution. These folks that use really tiny fonts just get on my last nerve.

Do they really want me to read that tiny stuff? I guess not since they made it so darn little. The Text Size Toolbar extension takes care of this problem. It gives you quick and easy access to making your fonts bigger or smaller.
