285098 - Add a GNOME theme

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 381206

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Marco Pesenti Gritti]

This is split from bug 233461. As part of that bug I developed a theme based on
*stripe but using GNOME default icons where available.

Quoting Ben comments on bug 233461:

Can we host the theme in mozilla cvs? I think it provides a more consistent
(with GNOME desktop) look to firefox and as such would be useful to GNOME based
distributions.

Any progress here?

Refreshing this bug; with the next version of firefox 2.0, it seems a linux/gnome specific theme is even more needed than before.

I have stopped using Firfox during the 2.0 develpment because of some design decisions I cannot stand... but after seeing Firefox 2 on Ubuntu Edgy it really makes me wanna cry, what exactly was wrong with the old theme hand how can *this* be an improvement? Guys, have a look at the Tango project and quickly redo the icons, this looks just horrible.

[Then again, native Gtk+ theming would be "way to go" here...]

There is both a nice Tango theme and Gnome theme on the Add-Ons site now:

GNOME Theme: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3814/

Tango Theme: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1565/

I would like to see one of these become the default for Firefox 3, or even better, we pickup the native GTK icons.

Isn't this a duplicate of bug 381206?
