Firefox 2 Visual Refresh Progress

Last night I worked on getting the new theme changes hacked into my trunk build. After about an hour of failed attempts, I ended up having to pull a new tree to get the patch to grudgingly apply – only to run into bug 346214 and a missing close tag introduced by the patch in browser.xul.
Overall the theme itself is nearly complete and only has a few remaining CSS and polish issues to hammer out. Barring anything catastrophic, the new theme should be landing on the 1.8 branch really soon and should be available in nightlies sometime tomorrow or over the weekend. So without further ado, may I introduce to you the latest iteration of the new official theme for Firefox 2!

Update: The theme is now available in the latest nightly builds. See the link below to grab a copy.

Pardon the Dust

I’m starting to switch over to a new theme I started working on in mid-June. I hadn’t done anything with it in weeks, and I figured if I didn’t make it live soon it’d end up with the rest of my unfinished projects…

So watch out for falling debris, broken links and general areas of ugliness. Hopefully I’ll finish it off one of these days 🙂

Washington D.C. Panorama

This was taken a few blocks north of Dupont Circle from the roof of my office building sans tripod using a crappy Fujifilm digital camera. Even so, it’s still kind of nifty if you disregard the funky color/perspective changes.

Microsummary Available

I just setup a microsummary for the main page of this blog. I’ve set it up so you’ll easily be able to see the date of the latest blog entry. If you’re using a recent trunk or branch build, you’ll be able to use the microsummary here by adding the main page of this blog as a bookmark and selecting the summary in the drop down menu.

Once added, the bookmark will end up looking like this:

You can find more information and some microsummary examples here.
