Daily Deviation

Given 2011-04-03
One suggester said: "Stratiform 1.1 by ~SpewBoy is a really great and intense way to customize Firefox 4 to the point where no one has gone before. Any Firefox 4 user should try this!"
It's a neatly made add-on that installs itself as a button that -once clicked- provides you with a host of different customization options.

Since I've become such a big fan of Stratiform, I thought I would give the latest version a bit of a review. First of all, I'm very impressed with the major changes. I love the new layout/UI; the animated background, the new Rubix-like colour options, and the overall design of the interface. I also love how you've laid everything out, which is definitely an improvement from the old layout; I like how you can change the colours all in one section, and also the curve radius. I also like the samples/previews for buttons and text fields much better. I'm also impressed with the new themes, I look forward to you developing/perfecting them.
Now I would like to offer some constructive criticism. Firstly, I'm not sure whether I'll be the only one to say this, but I find a strange optical illusion occurring on the Rubix and Soft7 button themes, making the back button appear smaller than the forward button. If the back buttons could be made slightly larger as to avoid this, it would be perfect. I also noticed that the Soft7 icon for the back button will not work on a theme with a large back button, which is disappointing. In addition, it would've been nice to see a subtle hover state for the Rubix buttons, or to have them look slightly less "tall". Furthermore, the Soft7 tabs also look very similar to the Strata40 tabs, it's quite hard to tell them apart, and would've been nice to see something more unique. Lastly, just to throw some ideas out to you; I think it would be nice to see an almost-clear text field, similar to the design of the default one, to match minimalistic set-ups, and maybe a black one too, to match dark colour schemes. Translucent and black status pop-ups to match would be great as well. I also look forward to seeing more Tab and Firefox Button themes. Overall, a job well done, and I thank both SpewBoy and SoapyHamHocks for putting in all the effort and hard work. :) I hope you two find this critique useful.

Just a heads up...

Stratiform broken in latest 'Nightly 23.0a1 (2013-05-03)'.

Changes in settings require a restart of Firefox and newest "bookmark-star-icon" is missing from various icons sets like soft7, wave, etc.

:)

I don't know if I told you this before (I thought I did) but there is a problem with the tab coloring option. All the buttons with drop down arrows placed in the tab bar and styled like tabs don't change color.

Might be worth reporting this here: [link] so we can keep track of it more easily.

Hey there, long time Stratiform fan-boy here. I do not know CSS n stuff but is there no way to support a Linux version? Would have loved to have this on my Linux desktop:)

There are ways but the issue is the extra work involved. Linux looks very different to Windows and comes in many flavours. There are discrepencies between the Windows and Linux default theme that are difficult to code for in CSS.

Maybe some time in the future when we are bored and want a challenge ;)

I never learned how to use Unix so I don't go near Linux really. I've only ever had a few builds of Ubuntu and the latest ones are terrible as far as the UI goes :noes:

Agreed! Gnome really messed up. However there are few themes that are just to gorgeous to miss.
Checkout [link] for GTK-3 just for the sake of beauty.

I actually quite like the idea behind the way Linux is themed. Windows has about a million quirky sub-themes for different aspects of the OS (made even more confusing by Windows 8's Metro), and none of them go with each other. This forces developers to come up with their own UI solutions so you either get a rather hideous app or you get one that doesn't comform entirely to Windows 8's UI guidelines.

Linux doesn't seem to have that problem from what I've seen. Most apps tend to follow the same system styling (except Firefox and others of course) and it actually looks half decent.
