TwisterMC’s easy on the eyes Firefox theme is now ready for download if your using Firefox 3. The iPox theme has always been a favorite of mine, due to it being very unique and different. Definitely considered a classic if there ever was one.
You can pick it up at the Firefox Add-ons site and be sure to stop by TwisterMC’s bug squashier if you notice any bugs or problems.
It isn’t every day that we get the chance to pick the brain and converse with probably one of the most popular Firefox theme designers (and all around pretty cool guy) TwisterMc. He is best known for the iPox series of themes he has done for Firefox, but also has several other projects worth checking into when you get the time.
To many you are only known as TwisterMc, the brilliant designer that does all those iPox themes for Firefox. Where did the nickname come from?
TwisterMc: I’ve always been fascinated with the weather and especially tornados; even though I’ve never seen one. When it came time to get my own domain, I wanted something that had to do with weather. Since twister was already taken, I added Mc from my last name and came up with TwisterMc.
Where do you draw your inspiration or ideas from when it comes to sitting down and designing a theme from scratch?
TwisterMc: I get inspiration from everything. It could be a web site I came across, cool packaging or just the result of trying a few designs and seeing what I like.

Mozilla, do we have a problem?
I have a feeling I am not the only one who is wondering about this one. What will happen to all the current Firefox themes once Firefox 3 goes final? It seems like a handful of theme designers are having issues with getting their themes to look right with the new Firefox 3 interface. Will they all have to start from scratch again?
The above screen shot was taken from TwisterMc - who is describing his own issues getting the iPox theme to work correctly.
I haven’t been one to give darker themes for Firefox much love, but MidnightFoxy might be the theme that brings me over to that “dark side” that so many seem to love.
As you can see, it is another TwisterMc masterpiece that I am sure many of the Firefox Facts fans (say that 10 times fast) will enjoy. It is currently in the Mozilla sandbox, so if you don’t have a login there you can pick it up at TwisterMc.com.
The Extero theme for Firefox is something mixed between a stylish vibe and a familiar face.
TwisterMC is at it again with another off the wall - yet creatively inspiriting Firefox theme that I am sure more than a few of you will enjoy.
Here is how he describes the theme:
I tried to take a different avenue with extero and break away from the norm just a little bit. It’s not crazy different, but there are some oddities that make extero unique.
Overall yet another that deserves to be in anybody’s collection.
TwisterMc is already one of my favorite Firefox theme designers. All of his work always seems to have it’s own individual characteristics and quirks that make it unique as well. So when it comes to learning how to make your own Firefox theme, why not learn from one of the best?
iPox Remix hopes to be a new starting point for people who want to design their own theme, but don’t know where to get started at first. You can download the entire theme via his Web site, and over time he promises to push a few more tutorials and updates so you have something to do with that customizable theme. What are the requirements?
You’ll need to know how to create or edit images to customize your theme. That may be using Photoshop, Fireworks, GIMP or another graphics application. If you know CSS, that’ll help a lot to, but it’s not required. Without CSS knowledge, you’ll be limited to the edits you can make.

Not all themes are created equal. One guy that makes his themes a little different than all the rest is TwisterMc. I don’t know how he does it, but it seems like every time he produces a new theme it looks better than the last. If you are a fan of dark (and I mean really dark) themes, MidnightFox is the Firefox theme for you. It really sets itself apart from the pack.
