New Theme for Firefox!
Follow this link to the new version for Firefox 1.0 final.

I took the time to create a new version of my favorite Mozilla theme Orbit.
It's built from scratch for Firefox 0.8 and 0.9 and even looks decent on Mac OS X.
[..deleted..]

Update 09/20/2004 sorry for the delay - expect an updated version of this theme for firefox 1.0 within the next 10 days]

Update 10/06/2004 finally a working version for Firefox 1.0PR, install links have been updated. You might need to deinstall any previous version or manually enable this theme after installation.
Feel free to leave me feedback here as I am planning on tweaking some things over the next few weeks. Especially the gfx for the main buttons still need a brush-up.

Next update: after release of Firefox 1.0 final, hopefully sometime next week - i'm sick and tired of these release candidates and their undocumented "features" - oh and expect the "no background" version, too!

Very nice work! High time someone gives the Firefox community Orbit. I hope this theme is continually updated for Firefox as the browser picks up speed and mass in userbase and usability.

[2]
Muy bueno!!! Una masaaaaaaaaa

[3]
Looks real nice - Orbit 3+1 is my favorite Mozilla theme. Wondering if you could change the theme so the button background on the toolbar doesn't change color on mouse-over and have the Status Indicator light up when you mouse-over it.

[4]
Wow, thanks. This is my favorite theme for Mozilla and now that I'm using FireFox exclusively, I was really missing it. Great job. Thanks!

[5]
hey man....really great job. I was searching for the theme for firefox endlessly because I it was my favourite theme in mozilla. it would be nice if you could update the theme, so that the button background on the toolbar doesn't change color on mouse-over. GREAT JOB!!!! thanks

[6]
Only one problem... the separators between bars look horrible with most non-grey system colors. Could they be set to a standard color that would match the theme?

[7]
Andreas, this is what my Firefox has been waiting for. Many thanks. You will be able to post this Theme and get the deserved credit when Firefox 1.0 comes out. http://update.mozilla.org/developercp.php

Hallo Andreas,

absolut genial, dass es dieses Theme für den Firefox gibt. Bitte, mach schnell, damit ich es für meine neue 1.0 PR auch verwenden kann. Würde es zu gerne ausprobieren.

Grüße
Tobias.

I love the orbit skin for mozilla. Would be reeeaaally nice if there was a version for firefox 1.0! Keep up the good work.

[10]
Ich möchte die übrigen Poster nicht wiederholen, aber wirklich, sehr schön. Nur schade, dass es noch nicht für den Firefox 1.0 PR angepasst ist (wie auch schon andere bedauert haben). Aber gute Arbeit trotzdem.

[11]
Thank you! I have been looking for this theme for firefox for ages, and all the current themes compatible with 1.0 are nowhere near as nice :) Looking forward to it!

[12]
I have waited for this theme to be updated for a very long time.
Looks great and I hope you keep tweaking it for the new versions of Firefox.
Thank You.

[13]
Thank you!!! It looks great :):) this truly is the best firefox theme out there, and you have done a great job of porting it. Please, please keep up the good work for future versions!

[14]
The buttons are all I really need. Is there any chance of releasing this theme without the background color as weel?
Thank you.

[15]
Great work!!! someone else out there cares!
I did find this bug...
Button for extension Autohide is "doubled up"
does not look anything like it normally does.
http://www.krickelkrackel.de/autohide/autohide.htm

Are you going to have several color versions of this?

[16]
sorry, no additional colors/versions are planned.
same goes for third party addons like autohide. i'd be in deep trouble if i'd try to cover all the extensions that are out there.

[17]
Hello Andreas,

Is there a link to actually download this theme instead of having it install from the page?

Also I was asking not for additional colors just a way to remove the background color and leave only the icons and buttons.

Have a nice evening.

[18]

if you'd take a look at the install link.. :-)

[19]
Thanks Andreas,

I saw the right click to download for the link and the theme yet it only gives me an install trigger and will not download the file even with a right click. The link listed in your Comment # 18 worked.

Thanks again.

[20]
Please, oh please, can you do the 3+1 version as well... the one on http://themes.mozdev.org/themes/orbit.html. That would make happy a huge lot of people! TIA, Lucian

[21]
My only suggestion on this excellent version of Orbit, is that 1.0PR supports a background color for Https sites in the address/url bar. Would you please add support for it...basically use the same "yellow" color that is behind the lock icon in the bottom status bar.

Thanks,
Jason


[22]
Super ! Du bist der Held! Habe schon vorher vergeblich versucht von Mozilla auf Firefox umzusteigen aber ... nicht ohne orbit !

DANKEDANKEDANKE!

[23]
Strange... I instaled the theme but it remains greyed out in my themes window, and I'm unable to activate it : (

I'm running Firefox 1.0PR, and I've been looking forward to being able to install this theme for a while....

[24]
Okay, that's weird. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled and that fixed the problem. Heh, don't ask me. : ?

To get SomeOrbitYellow to work with FireFox 1.0 rc1...

Extract install.rdf, find the maxVersion tag and change it to 1.0... this may not be 100% correct but I've had no problems with it so far

[Edit by Andreas: actually the maxVersion needs to be set to 0.10, which it has been since 10/06/2004. this and other changes are included in the above download/installer]

[26]
Hi Andreas, I tried the version above and FireFox rejected it.

I tried David's suggested of uninstalling and re-installing it, but had no luck.

I know a maxVersion of 0.10 (or 0.10+) is correct for the pre-release versions but I've only been able to get themes installed on 1.0 rc1 when I use 1.0 for maxVersion...

(The 1.0 pre-releases had a version of 0.10 while the 1.0 release candidate have 1.0 rc1)

Like I said I don't think it's 100% correct but it gives anyone with problems another avenue for trying to work around a false(?) rejection : )


[27]
hi andreas, great work!!!
according to your rfc ("Feel free to leave me feedback here") i have the following question:

would it be possbile to reduce the size of the "activity indicator" item? this would decrease the height of the menu-toolbar (which seems to unnecessarily high at the moment).

[28]
would like to see the button sizes and "depress" animations as the Orbit 3+1 but in general you did a great job getting this to work with Firefox!.

To address several comments about background colors of the buttons on the mouse-over, this seems to be only a Windows XP issue. If you change your windows "appearance" to be "Windows Classic Style" then the button background will match the window color.

[29]
andreas, glad to hear you'll be updating for 1.0 final! this is the greatest theme, thanks a lot.

[30]
Oh please please work on this (kisses your feet) ... Firefox without Orbit is not worth using. Thank you for taking up the ball others have dropped! (big hugs!)

[31]
Tut mir leid, mein Deutche ist nicht gut...

I just tried installing your port of this theme under FF 1.0 and it did NOT work. I got an error message saying it was not compatible. I'm using WinXP (SP2), and I have Java RE 5.0 also, so I don't know what the problem could be....


[32]
is there going to be a 1.0 final verison

[33]
Andreas. This is just wonderful. Thank you for making my week happier and my desktop a better-looking place! Keep up the excellent work!

[34]
Well done for getting out the version for 1.0 so promptly. I find Orbit the only theme for FF that isn't either ugly, far too 'cutesy cutesy', or just plain horrible. And your implementation is the best I've seen (the only one for version 1.0 but I've seen others during the beta period and yours is better). Just one thing would make it even better as far as I'm concerned, any chance of a Blue or Grey version?

[35]
DANKE! Genial, prima, super, ich weiß gar nicht was ich sagen soll. Wann passiert es schonmal, dass man im Web einen Wunsch äußert und der auch wirklich erfüllt wird. Mein Firefox hat auf dieses Theme gewartet und freut sich, dass es endlich da ist.

Grüße
Tobias.

[36]
Nice work :)

The icons are maybe a little too small to my taste tho...
