Finding a Theme

Sunday, February 4th, 2007

Today the Firefox addon, Web Developers Toolbar, was updated. After restarting, none of the icons were displayed on the toolbar. The problem was the theme used: Phoenity. Turns out that Phoenity is no longer supported by its author. So looking for a new theme I found Blue Ice. Its simple, understated and supports the web developer toolbar icons.

This made me look at the theme for this blog. It had been using the Neat (link no longer available) theme, but I’ve decided its too dull. So until I can find (or design) a better one, the default theme is going to have to do.

Released: Modify Headers 0.5.4

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Now that Firefox 2 has been released and the Modify Headers upgrade to support it completed, I have finally got round to fixing an usability issue that has been irritating me for a while.

Previously when clicking the Edit button, the header name and value would be placed in the appropriate text box, but the action select would not change, it would always be stuck on Add. Now, this has been resolved.

Firefox auto-update will handle this for most people, but if you don’t have Modify Headers, go install it from Mozilla Update.

Released: XHTML Mobile Profile 0.3.6

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

This point release provides support for Firefox 2 final release. Please install from Mozilla Update.
