Newgrounds Theme for Firefox 2006-02-07 22:01:58


>>> WARNING <<<
Read this first
DO NOT USE THIS THEME WITH FIREFOX 1.5+

NewGroundZilla is a theme for Firefox. It is incomplete, and if you still run Firefox 1.0.x, then you can install and test it. Note that I said incomplete. K? This theme is not supported or endorsed by Newgrounds.com, they just gave me permission to use the logo and certain visual aspects of the site. SO DON'T GO BUG Wade or liljim or Tom OR ANY OF THEM, K? No one on payroll was involved in the development of this theme. Just me. I'm a volunteer. A mod. Are we level? This is NOT a Newgrounds production. They have zero liability here. This is between you and me. Ok. If you have a question, send it to me. I have an email account. You do know what email is, right? Good.

This theme is intended for users of Firefox 1.0.x. If you attempt to install this under 1.5.x, you may very well end up with an unusable interface.

I'm warning you, if you install this under 1.5 and screw up your copy of Firefox, I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.

I'm just say'n...

Although this theme is intended for Firefox 1.0, it comes with no guaramtees, no warranty, no support, and you install it at your own risk. It should be mostly harmless, but I'd suggest making a backup of your user profile fist, in case things go awry.

If you have nuts of steel, then give 'em a nice polish, and oh, btw, try this theme out.

NewGroundZilla

I was going to release this back at christmas, y'know, as a big gift to all you fags and bitches, but mozilla delivered a swift kick to the nuts when they released Firefox 1.5. Seems everything I worked for went down the drain, with the exception of experience dealing with XUL and thew firefox chrome, and the images created by me and my brother, Uberbarista.

I tried installing the version of the theme I was working on in 1.5, and it wrecked my user profile, and almost made Firefox unusable. I suppose I should have kept up with the gui changes made in 1.5.

Anyway. I'm still working on the version of this theme that will be Firefox 1.5 compatible.

Untill then, NewGroundZilla is available to Firefox 1.0+ users only. Do not attempt to install this theme under Firefox 1.5. Seriously. If you aren't running 1.5... If you run anything from about 0.9-1.0.8... This theme should work for you, should you decide to use it.

Any questions?

Ok, look. If you don't know how to identify what version of FIrefox you are using, then PISS OFF.

Any other questions?

Ok, I'm not answering them tonight. There is an install link on the page. It should work, but you'll have to tell firefox to allow newgroundzilla to install themes. This can be switched on under "Web Features" within Firefox's preferences. Email me if you absolutely cannot figure it out.

I suggest making a backup of you Firefox user profile before doing all of this, It hasn't killed Firefox except for the time I tried it under 1.5. It hasn't killed any of the early testers' browsers. Ever. But, better safe than sorry. Instructions on how to back up your profile are here.

REPEAT! THIS IS A BETA VERSION INTENDED FOR FIREFOX 1.0.x ONLY. IT IS MAC AND WINDOWS FRIENDLY, BUT DEATH TO FIREFOX 1.5.x!

If you don't like not having this for 1.5, go bust Mozilla.org's chops for fucking around with their interface so badly, or wait until I smooth out the kinks for Firefox 1.5.

I know at least 10 people must be scratching their heads right now, wondering why it isn't as simple as going to mozilla's themes and extensions site, and doing it that way. Well, It's kind of hard to get a beta version that doesn't support the latest browser listed. It will be listed, and easy to install and update when I finish it, damnit.

Thank you. Goodnight.

P.S. Really. I'm serious. This should be ok for users of Firefox 1.0. Not a single tester has had complaints yet. It hasn't ruined anyone's computer. BUT THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES WHEN INSTALLING THIS THEME IN 1.5. DO NOT ATTEMPT.

P.P.S. I WARNED YOU, DAMNIT.

Your screen shot doesn't really do it justice, especially when you combine it with an NG color scheme:

Actually, you can.

But, honestly, I would suggest sticking with 1.5. I'll have a compatible version soon.

Were all the big, BOLD warnings telling you not to install it under 1.5 too subtle?

How long do I gotta wait then? It looks awesome, by the way. I may have to install a lower version of Firefox just so I can view the awesome beauty of Newgrounds as a theme.

Is that your newgrounds color scheme? And if so where did you get it?
