The theme is out. Get it here: [link] The preview is still of the mockup and does not reflect the theme 100%.

Use this fix for LB2: [link]

This is a mockup of what I believe a web browser should look like when used with Windows 7. I have tried to take the experience of creating the Strata40 theme and studying the Firefox 4 mockups and use it to help me with my big question, what is simple and has the features you use most regularly up in front, and has the less used features packed away in a place you can find them? The Firefox 4 mockups tried to handle this by providing an app button and using aero effects, but they made some major mistakes in my opinion:

- The amount of aero glass used is not consistent with that used by native Windows apps (they overused it)
- They focused so much on making the interface compact that they compromised simplicity

I'm trying to improve on these with a browser that is simple and familiar to Windows users and has those needed features either up in front or tucked away where they are still easy to access, depending on the amount of use they are likely to get.

The goal is to make a Firefox theme out of this at the end. Tell me what you think :)

Just click the link in the description and you should get some kind of notification asking you to install it. If not, right click the link and save to desktop and drag the xpi file into your add-ons window.

hmm.. do you continue developing?!
Of course the new firefox 4 design (and certainliy Stratiform) is more interesting at the moment, but the approaches are well, and I thing a revised version for Fireox 4 could be awesome :)

moreover, the final version of stratiform doesn't look like this pictures on the top :D
