72707 - alfred chrome out of date--won't run on moz0.8.1

Status: CLOSED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect)

Description

[William Stuart]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010320
BuildID:    2001032004

On a clean install with a freshly converted profile from Netscape 4, installing
the "alfred" chrome (install appears successful) and then applying it does
nothing.  Restarting Mozilla hangs at the splash screen, deleting profile fixes
hand condition.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download "alfred" chrome from http://x.themes.org using Quick Install
2.View / Apply theme / alfred
3.Restart Mozilla

Actual Results:  Alfred doesn't apply and profile appears corrupt.

Expected Results:  Alfred should apply and profile should remain intact.

I have the corrupted profile if anyone wants me to attach files from it.

akayser, do you want to accept this bug?

Is this a bug to update the alfred theme, or a bug on the hang? If the latter 
it's a duplicate of 53670. I'll assume the former and update the summary. 
Otherwise please close as a duplicate of 53670

Ok, I'll look into this. But no promise yet when it is solved.
The 'alfred' skin is a hobby project of mine, and it is difficult
enough to keep up with all speed of changes.

New version of 'Alfred' uploaded to x.themes.org: 
version 0.99 is considered to be the last one for 0.8.1 and lower releases.
Further development of this theme continues under a new name for Mozilla 0.9
(and hopefully new Netscape 6.x releases). (as soon as 0.9 gets stable enough
for it).

It was renamed and he fixed it.

I just never came back and closed it.

I have given up on skins for the time being, it's too fragile.
