New version SphereGnomeJumbo 1.0 is here:

http://www.pshrink.com/phoenix/SphereGnomeJumbo_1_0.jar

Description:

SphereGnome Jumbo is designed for high resolutions and small screens, where
visibility is a major issue. The button icons are sized at 48x48 and 64x64, with
browser icons at 32x32. Try this theme with a screen resolution of 1600x1200 or
higher, with a system font size set at 150% to 200%. NOTE: To get a dropdown
history from a forward or back arrow, right click on it. It's much easier than
trying to stab at a little dropdown marker.

Your site says 1.0.  The link on here is 1.0.1.  Which is correct?

My site links to the Moz Update directory, so it won't get updated to 1.0.1
until the Moz Update site is updated.

I don't know if I'm glad to see you are back at servicing these update "bugs" or
not. I have been under the impression that you were all working on updating Moz
Update itself, which IMO is far more important than updating individual themes.
Most especailly, I greatly appreciate your work on updating the individual theme
and extension listings. It has to be a frustrating and mind-numbing process. 

In any case, I've been updating the version 1.0.1 while I've been waiting for
Moz Update to begin receiving updates again. I have renamed my files to conform
to your naming system to reduce your workload, for example.

While I was writing this I just uploaded the absolute latest versions of all my
theme files. Please use those.

SphereGnome Jumbo 1.0.1 is in the same place. The new preview is here:

SphereGnome Jumbo was the theme most in need of updating of all of my themes: it
had mostly enlarge bitmap images and looked pretty bad close up. I fixed that by
learning how to use SVG graphics programs (Inkscape is a marvel, BTW, but you
still need sodipodi for some things). The other themes are more or less OK for
the moment, so I will not burden you with updating them unless developer access
to Moz Update is delayed more than a month. 

I have 1.0.1 versions of all six of my current themes, as well as a seventh
theme (SphereGnome XtraJumbo) ready to go. Then there are the Mac OSX versions
of all of them. Then there will be versions for Firefox 1.1. That will then be
14 theme/theme versions. I would not dream of burdening you with updating all of
these, so I will wait for developer access.

Thanks for all you do.

I'm just working my way through the pile of open bugs.  For each one, I check
the homepage to see if there's an updated version.
