Slashdot Mirror

Using it now, and it's waaaay faster and more reliable than 0.8. No more reloading poorly rendered Slashdot pages!

If you think the new theme is a step backwards, you can get the old theme back by going to the designer's site.

Hm. I found the small icons to be way too small. I did, however, remember to bookmark the Old Qute Theme from 0.8 and earlier, which has been updated to work with 0.9. IMHO, it is much nicer than the new one, at least under Linux. YMMV.

To get back the good old Qute theme from 0.8:

Right click this link and select "Copy Link Location."

Then left click here, paste the link into the "Remote URL" box on the right, and click Install.

Ahh... feels like home again ;)

Keep in mind that the packaging requirements changed for this release, so not all of your old favorites are 0.9 compatible (yet).

If you want the old 0.8 theme back, you can find it here: Qute

After a Mozilla Foundation member criticizes Rob Malda This page.

Anyway, Download firefox here, get the Qute theme here, tell all your frieinds!

Get it now!. No, this isn't offtopic, Slashot pulled the article so I am using the comments here!

If you are fed up of pop-ups, spyware, secrutiy exploits and spam, get it today! Over one million estimated users already. Even a joe user I talked to on the bus used it!

Plus, if you prefered the old look you can get it here!

Yep

The previous default theme is now downloadable from the author's site.

yes

Well, my experience was about as opposite as they get :

1. Downloaded FirefoxSetup-0.9rc.exe.
2. Ran setup.
3. Chose to install to a new directory (this is an RC, not the final version, and common wisdom says to not install windows software over old versions)
4. Started via shortcut.
5. Firefox asked me politely what profile I want to import.
6. Firefox launched smoothly and looked very nice. All existing preferences, history, etc. migrated from my 0.8.
7. About->Firefox says 0.8+ (which is the terminology for versions past 0.8 but not yet 0.9 release)

The theme is maybe not as nice as the Qute theme, but thanks to Arvids work you can quickly install a brand new version of Qute to go with 0.9 from
his site.

It seems to be running fine now since running from the .zip version, and I took the liberty of installing the Qute theme as posted by serveral people here. It was just the initial shock of my favorite browser shitting the bed that got me. At home, I'll prolly wait until 0.9 final since this version is largely lackluster (as it should be, I suppose, as it matures).

Sadly, the fix for the Slashdot rendering bug doesn't appear to be included :(

Never mind that the old theme was just plain nice. The icons were simply well-designed. From all the screenshots I've seen of the new one, it looks like crap. But as you say, there's little chance of it being rolled back.

I know that when Firefox 0.9's stable enough for me to give it a shot, I'm downloading Qute from the designer's homepage.

Yep, just right click this link: http://www.quadrone.org/graphics/Qute/Qute.jar and select "Copy Link Location".

Then go to http://www.texturizer.net/firefox/themes/#install, paste the link into the "Remote URL" box on the right, and click Install.

Ahh... sanity restored.

I don't care how far along the new theme is, there's no redeeming value or promise in it for me. The old theme, designed to work with 0.9, is right here.

If you liked the theme from 0.8 (qute) better you can download it for 0.9. The author completely revamped qute for 0.9 and it's better than ever.

I don't know about the rest of you but this new theme doesn't look as nice to me. The icon's aren't as detailed or polished and it feels a little clunky compared to the old one.

Also, shame on the Mozilla folks for not letting the Qute author know all his hard work to support their project wouldn't be included.

The old theme, Qute, is now available from Arvid Axelsson's site. You can also install it in Firefox 0.8, which by default runs a version of Qute v1, whereas the version that was initially going to go into Firefox 0.9 was Qute v2.

Hey,

you can get the qute theme from its designer's website here.

Some more pics of the new theme, from the author's website.

Obviously, there are limits to how different you can make a curvy Q look :)

It's Qute (Mozilla Firebirds default theme)'s throbber.
