10 Firefox themes that don't suck
I've gotten several comments since I started writing for DownloadSquad from readers that want to know what Firefox theme I'm running in my screenshots. Since I had some spare time on my hands, I decided it was time to put together a selection of my favorites to share.
Before anyone says "hey, there are eleven screens in the gallery," I counted the light/dark variation of one theme as a single option.
There are plenty of great themes out there for Firefox - these are just a few that I particularly enjoy using. Have a look through the gallery, and feel free to share your favorites in the comments!

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.

I use something called AnyColor 0.2.4. There are presets within the package and I am using something called 'Bright Sky Blue' and makes my toolbar look like clouds. Highly recommended!

What exactly is the "throbber effect"? I'm loving FullFlat's design but I don't see anything too interesting in effects. Although, I must say, FullFlat looks awesome with PageStyle2Tab (the add-on that makes the tabs the same texture as the page background).

It's the little animation that shows page load progress

What is animated? I do notice that the links on my bookmarks toolbar kind of compress awkwardly when I click them, but I see no lingering animations...

I'm still not changing from Noia Extreme.

Seconded. The lack of Noia on this list makes me a sad panda.

I guess I'm just weird... all of those (other than Proto, which is the default FF 3 theme for the most part) are incredibly ugly, in my opinion.

Nope, u're not alone in that.
For XP, i recommend Elementary >> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7293
For Vista, stick to default with glasser.

For me, proto is the fugliest one up there.

I run pimpzilla every time I need to make a screenshot, that way I can spot my work wherever it pops up :-)

Looks like its on a netbook? Cool.

Horrible list... they are all cluttered and have terrible icons.
I am on Vista, using iFox. Love this theme, I install it on every machine I use - the icons aren't intrusive and the overall feel is nice. And I'm not a Apple fanboy, just incase you were wondering.

I use personas for the color which I end up making my self and classic compact with classic compact options for the themes shape and size. It frees up the most amount of real estate and looks clean too.
