Description Hi this is my first submisson.


It is a stylish theme for Firefox (tested on Firefox 3) that will make the toolbar looks like the upcoming IE 8 Beta 2 (I've seen the preview on IE 8 Blog - the background colour of the toolbar on Beta 2 is a little different from the one in 8 Beta 1)

To make your Firefox looks like the one on the preview:



1. Install Glasser


This is for Vista Home Premium/Business/Ultimate users

2. Install Stylish


Then download the files from my submission.


Click manage styles on stylish.


Create new style.


Fill up the name of the theme and copy all the text from the 'style.txt' from my submission


3. For the bookmarks toolbar to appear right click on the toolbar and tick 'bookmarks toolbar'


For RSS content to be bolded when there is an update, try installing LiveClick

This work is actually a modification from the IE 7 Tab style I found on userstyle .


Enjoy and hope you like it!!!

I also modified the code I got from somewhere else.

I like it but I have modified it in order to for it to really look like IE8 beta 2. Your tabs are not like IE8. However, I was able to get them to look right. Thanks for the upload

Looks great!

One small problem though, I get a small white line between the bookmark toolbar and the tab bar

Sorry, I had been busy these few days.
It actually should work on XP as Stylish works on Firefox in XP. The only thing you will not get is the transparent background on the buttons. So, for XP just skip installing Glasser.

I hate IE and this skin would make me hate FF as well, so no TY.
