Firefox 3 themes: Tango, Strata, Firelight

May 2nd, 2008

Firefox 3 themes now have names: Tango for Linux, Strata for Windows and Firelight for Mac OS X.

Tango, is named directly after the Tango Desktop Project which provides visual guidelines for Gnome and KDE Linux desktop environments. The new theme is in large part an effort of Michael Ventnor.

Strata, is an invention of Mike Beltzner, one of Firefox 3 lead developers. Icons were commissioned to the Iconfactory.

Firelight, was chosen by one of its own creators, Kevin Gerich and replaces Proto, which becomes a code name now. Stephen Horlander, is the other designer in charge of this beloved theme.

    Same here… I really dont like Strata - looks very old and cheap in my opinion. Firelight is LOVELY though… Very clean and modern.

    Currently using Phoenity Aura or Kempelton because of Strata’s underwhelming debut. I want the Fx 2.0 theme back, but that Tango! theme sure does look sexy! Windows users want, c’mon Mozilla!

    I don’t like those three themes and went for Phoenity Reborn. Actually none of the available themes for Firefox 3 look as good as the themes for Firefox 2. But I think that the designers will work hard to make more themes available :-)
