However the work afterwards didn't make me feel the same way.<br />In my opinion the negative point of the Firefox 2.0 default theme is that it doesn't give it the necessary professional look, while the new suggested Theme in its latest form <a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2008/01/22/navigation-toolbar-on-windows/"><span>Navigation Toolbar on Windows</span></a> fails also in this section.<br />Rather than a pointless criticism against Firefox Theme developers, who are doing exceptionally work in both brainstorming and designing, I decided to choose the path of suggesting some improvements to the proposed unified B/F button, which I believe provide the missing professional look.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6eY_p9ebrxg/R55A9rEUS1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/Te0nyNIxdJ8/s1600-h/fnotes.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6eY_p9ebrxg/R55A9rEUS1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/Te0nyNIxdJ8/s320/fnotes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160633651290196818" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Outline of the basic idea</span><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6eY_p9ebrxg/R55B37EUS3I/AAAAAAAAAAc/tCWq40-Wji4/s1600-h/firefox3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6eY_p9ebrxg/R55B37EUS3I/AAAAAAAAAAc/tCWq40-Wji4/s320/firefox3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160634652017576818" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">The suggested button fully colorized</span><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6eY_p9ebrxg/R55B3bEUS2I/AAAAAAAAAAU/quZvHgmLqlU/s1600-h/firefox3Theme.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6eY_p9ebrxg/R55B3bEUS2I/AAAAAAAAAAU/quZvHgmLqlU/s320/firefox3Theme.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160634643427642210" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Embedding the suggested button in Firefox's new theme.</span><br /></div><br />I know that in the suggested button needs still much to be done, but as I am not a professional designer and certainly I am not as good as Alex Faaborg and his alike, it would be an honor for me if they would decide to work on my suggestion.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://blog.mozilla.com/faaborg/2008/01/22/navigation-toolbar-on-windows/"><span></span></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2035877293388140501-7244267251439929653?l=fugifox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>fugifoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02309773473739579137noreply@blogger.com0
