Super Mario Bros 3: Crazy Firefox theme of the day

by Ryan Sullivan Feb 10th 2007

When it comes to Firefox themes it can be hit or miss, but this one takes the cake. This Super Mario Brothers 3 theme is very detailed, taking a little bit of everything that is familiar from your favorite Mario games.

Normally I don't really like tinkering with my theme, because the colors are such a stark contrast to the web page you are viewing and the buttons are usually some crazy weird new symbol that will take you some getting use to. But this theme has a light color to it, so navigating around the web is easier on the eyes.

This theme has all of the pull-down menus and pop-up menus changed to match the idea behind the Super Mario Brother games. My favorite part about this theme is that all of the slide bars are warp pipes. And then, once you get your theme installed and set, you gotta play the flash Super Mario Brothers game!

[Thanks Joe]

I've been using this theme for about 2 weeks now. It's nice but kida hard to see certain things. (plus the icons like foward, reload, etc don't match so kinda hard to tell what each one is) But all in all this is a good theme!

I've been using it, also.
It's nice but the bright blue colour gets annoying.
Something else that also gets on my nerves is how the status bar has a texture from the Doomships, but it's horribly enlarged.
And it would have been a lot nicer if it used sprites from the SNES version of SMB3 (in Super Mario All-Stars). They're 100% better, especially the backgrounds.

in my opinion it's the greatest theme ever.
and i'm not saying this because i made it... hehe :)

just a quick reply to the comments:
* i admit that statusbar is the part i like less but it's hard to find a background element of the game that is clear enough to have some readable text on it. but i'm going to find a solution for this.
* no way about using super mario all star sprites! i grew up with the nes version! :)
and i think that snes detailed backgrounds would make users feel more confused about understanding what's a toolbar button and what is not...

Um no, it's 100% better to use the originals.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
