Sorry, but I think the new default theme for Firefox 2 is dreadful. It looks clumsy and amateurish. Thank goodness we have them extensions.

I just downloaded 2.0b2, and the first thing that leapt into my mind is “I want the old theme back”.

It might just be because it’s 50-50 between bland backgrounds and the new icons / etc, but…

Alright, the tabs DO look nice.

Aha! So those funky buttons to the right of the location bar and search box are supposed to be missing a left edge! I've only been using the nightlies on Linux, where they don't look so hot.

I’m with Anon. I’d expect a v2 to include, if nothing else, a visual upgrade. Not just a few new icon sets and mild change in menu items. Yes, I know I can extend it. But still.

That style is horrable.. The old one is WAY better. It’s too complicated, but should be as simple as the old ones.

ummm… isn’t this supposed to be version 2 as in not 1.6? sure looks alot like the old one. I guess I expected version 2 to look remarkably better that the drab 1.x. So I’m kind of disapointed, you’d think out of all the great themes out there, that the devs would create one that rivals the rest. Guess I’ll just end up installing the Fusion Alternative 2 skin anyway.

these changes are no where near as drastic as I was expecting. I guess they want to keep firefox simple. either way, looks good to me.

When Firefox was during Bon Echo Alpha development, they have this spelling check during typing, but not sure if it was just me, they have removed the spell-check service.

As for the visual theme of Firefox 2, I find that there are lots of themes around which can be used. So, I don’t find anything special about the visual refresh function.
