What am I doing right now?

As you've probably noticed, it's been a little while since I last posted here. In truth, I'm not currently working on any more themes for the moment. I probably will in time, I'm just taking a little break for the time being.


In the meantime, here are just a few themes that I've considered, and their eventual fate:

Vista-aero - Dropped - Internal filesystem used by the original developer was too confusing to work with, plus the plethora of odd files with seemingly endless links and dependencies on other internal files. Have yet to look at another theme by the same developer (that, in my opinion, looks exactly the same as Vista-aero), BlueSky, though it's doubtful that the filesystem will be any cleaner.

Whitehart - Dropped - For some reason, even though the edits to the theme were near-identical to my other theme updates, this theme broke completely when trying to update it. Also, I'd need to get in contact with the original maintainer to publish this, anyway. I did, however, give the icons and other assorted files that I added/edited to a similar project that had the mere intention of making the theme work rather than be usable; whether they received that, however, I am unsure.

MidnightFox - Consideration - I'm still unsure if I want to work on this or not; I wouldn't be able to easily produce some of the additional icons (zoom controls, feed button, sync) in order to match the style of the theme, but I suppose it still wouldn't look too bad if I just used the stock icons for those. I would also need to get into contact with the theme's original developer, since they've specifically asked to be contacted if such a situation were to arise. I'm not saying anything's definite at the moment, though, but it's still possible, unless I find it breaks like Whitehart did.


Of course, if any readers out there have any ideas for themes, feel free to mention them.

Quick Status Update

It's been a little while since my last progress update, so I thought I'd share my current progress.

Kempelton Reloaded Large - Awaiting AMO response (still!)
Past Modern Revisited - Sent to AMO, awaiting approval

Again, if there's any themes that anybody wants me to update, be sure to mention them in the comments.

Current Theming Progress

Welcome to my new blog. From time to time, I might post updates here as to what I'm doing in terms of theming, to at least give the public a little information from the other side of things.

First off, let's get on with my current progress.

Kempelton Reloaded Large - Sent to AMO, waiting for approval
Past Modern Revisited (new!) - In progress

Past Modern Revisited is, as implied, a remake of the rather popular Past Modern theme for Firefox. It may be a little while before anything finished for this appears, though.

If/when PMR is finished, I'll be available to update another theme. Give your shout-outs in the comments for any themes in particular that you'd like to see working on modern versions of Firefox, and I might consider making them.
