I’ve been away from the blog for a while, so I thought I’d return on a note of beauty. If you’ve never tried the Firefox/Thunderbird theme, Charamel, I highly suggest you take a look at the home page at the very least.
In my opinion it is hands-down the most beautiful theme for either Mozilla product. The travesty is that the theme only supports up to version 1.5 of both Firefox and Thunderbird. The theme is so smooth and delicious, it’s almost worth reverting to Firefox 1.5 for. Almost.
From the glorious iconography to the fantastic, melt-in-your-mouth colour scheme, this theme is as perfect as I’ve seen any theme get.
Check it out, and if you can, try to convince the author of the theme to update his theme for Firefox/Thunderbird 2.0. Only thing is I’m not sure it’ll be possible to sway the author as he’s showing the following message on the website:
Initially thinking this code may have been due to an unclosed tag in the author’s HTML, I took a quick look at the code and was saddened to find this little tidbit:
<table id="hiatus" border="0">
<td align="left">
charamel[firefoxVer="2"]{<br>
display:none;
<br>
}</div>
</td>
</table>
No, I’m not saddened because there’s an unopened <div> in the table cell, or even because the <td> isn’t wrapped in a <tr>. Instead, I’m saddened because the id attribute on the <table> confirms that the Firefox 2 version of the theme is officially on hiatus.
Oh sweet, sweet Charamel, why dost thy beauty blind me so??
