Beta 2's been out for a few days. The new skin for Mac OS is interesting. I have a hard time telling it apart from Safari now.

is that a custom skin, or have mozilla they just ripped off apple?

Hunch · 23-12-2007, 09:08

If I remember rightly, its a skin, but it's an official Mozilla release and I was prompted to download it immediately after I installed Beta 2. It goes under the name of 'proposed theme for Mac OS X' so it may well end up being the default look. It looks like it's under consideration judging by the developer's comments on the Mozilla site:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397723

Personally though, I quite like it (more than the old look). It in some ways its strikingly similar, but subtly different to Safari. Anything that conforms to the standard interface guidelines to give a consistent look across all applications is a positive thing in my opinion. I guess there are only so many ways to present the forward/back/reload/stop/home buttons if you're trying not to break the Leopard look and feel.

just been blasted with Beta 3 and i find the new toolbar ugly!!!

Hunch · 15-02-2008, 04:18

Which one?

cocknose · 15-02-2008, 05:17

it auto updated to Firefox 3 beta 3.... and it went back to that stupid shiny vista looking shit... i was using that Skin before!!

Hunch · 15-02-2008, 06:48

The Proto theme for Mac (the one in the screenshot further up this thread)?

I updated and it kept the skin. Although I've switched 99% to Safari now. The main thing that was keeping me on Firefox was the Gmail manager which was very good, but then I discovered the Google notifier for the Mac toolbar.
