For those fans of the 4.0 design, here's a theme inspired by it:

quite like the way the bookmark bar is displayed as thats one of the worst things about the twentyten theme as the bookmarks all look outta place and some reason tacky

mrk · 30 Jan 2010 at 01:30

What do you mean it looks out of place in TwentyTen? it looks perfectly fine with the bar enabled or not!

This theme does look good though.

sorry going to have to wait until monday as on laptop now. maybe it's mine but i can't think of anything that would make it look wrong. it makes the bookmarks seem a little too high iirc and it's the same for web dev toolbar, doesn't seem perfectly aligned with everything else

mrk · 30 Jan 2010 at 01:53

I don't use the bookmarks bar itself but mine has no issues.

Also I think TwentyTen still looks more professional than this theme.

Twenty ten looks way better IMO.

Totally agree the other theme looks awful. Rather stick with the default one.

Twentyten theme still on 1.3?

mrk · 30 Jan 2010 at 18:25

Yeah 1.3 still, Spewboy has handed out drop box invites to people at deviantart on reqest though for those wanting to try out the alpha releases of the Strata theme.

Cheers. Have been using Strata40 for a while, and this so far seems a winner.
*edit*

Also. really like the firefox tab at the left hand side of the tab bar, and the more space offered between tabs compared to Strata40.

New strata theme, will have to be pretty amazing to trump the 2010 theme

mrk · 30 Jan 2010 at 21:37

It's an Alpha and it doesn't trump it at all lol!

mrk: How did you get the Home link next to 'File' ?

I prefer 2010 as well

alex24 · 30 Jan 2010 at 22:33

I went back to Chrome......

It's just so much snappier, firefox got fat. Also, chrome looks pretty good without any customisation bar moving around some bars/buttons.

Chrome is nice but it's no Firefox! Especially in the customisation/userstyles department!

I agree, Chrome isn't anywhere near as customisable as firefox, though things are set to change on that front with extensions and themes having been recently introduced.

I realised though, that having anything much more than a stock browser didn't make much difference to my life, I'd rather have the increased responsiveness and speed that chrome has.
