in [Mozilla]
|
From: Petersen, Vegard Krog on 30 Jun 2008 11:59 Have upgraded to Firefox 3. Anybody know of any Firefox 3-compatible "classic" theme? "Classic" referring to the old Netscape/Mozilla look. N-scape1, FoxScape and Perennial all dead and not compatible... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1738 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4083 http://digiboy.deviantart.com/art/Perennial-0-2-2-10768290 TIA Regards from Vegard Krog Petersen, Norway http://vegard2.no

You can try this, but I can't guarantee it. Backup your profile first, just incase something goes wrong. Save the above files to your hard drive. They should be an ..xpi file. If they are, then open it with your zip program. Inside it you will see a .jar file. Open that with your zip program. From there you will find a file called install.rdf. Open that using any word processing program. Look for the line that says: <em:maxVersion>1.6</em:maxVersion> once found, that means the maximum version of FF that is good for is FF 1.6. Change that line to 3.5. Now, zip everything back up exactly the way it came. Don't include other directories, or your screwed. Now, install it into FF and see if it works. Does it? -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help!!!!

You are just going to have to wait until the developers catch up. I'm not using FF3 yet, but I made my own Netscape theme by modifying blue- orbit, replacing the throbber with the Netscape one. It's not the old 4.7 theme with the stoplight, but more like Netscape 7.
