If you are using a later version, try Stratiform instead, with the Strata40 styles.
Gave me an idea of what 4.0 looked, and gave me what looks better than the (somewhat) boring interface of Firefox 3.6
P.S. Thanks for Stratiform too!
love the looks, was thankful to find the likes of this....since most all the available themes i saw were horrid or overly simple looking to me : /
Inside that you get lotsof different styles and stuff. One of these is for that Strata40 look.
i did find a progress bar addon, so i suppose im good there at least, although i wish that option was on the tabs individually as well as the button on the end to list all the tabs. i suppose there may be options already included in this new version that i've missed.
but i hope you can continue making more styles and would love to see things for firefox 4, as i liked the idea of ff4 ahead of schedule more than the looks i got when i actually installed it.
Good job, man!
Buuuut… How I put the star-button from left to right?
I've checked the CSSs, did various tests, but no success.
Can you help on that?
Thanks in advance!
#page-proxy-stack,
#star-button {
display: -moz-box !important;
}
#identity-box #star-button {
display: none !important;
}
Can't tell you if it works or not because we don't support Strata40 for Firefox 3.6 anymore. We have moved on to Firefox 4 and our new Stratiform add-on, which carries on Strata40's legacy in a much more customizable format.
I want them to match the Strata 40 look.
In short, it is reasonably easy if you know what you are doing but it is time consuming. For someone who has never done it before it is very confusing. We don't actually support Strata40 anymore, instead we use our new add-on, Stratiform for Firefox 4, which uses a new method to make the buttons that means the Xmarks button would look like the other buttons, except for the Xmarks styled glyph, which would remain the same. The add-on features a Strata40 style, and is meant to be the continuation of Strata40 with better customization, smaller file size, smaller system footprint and compatibility with Mozilla's latest browser (Firefox 4).
I'm using Windows Blinds. Is it incompatible with windows blind ? Or is there any trick to apply the glass theme ?
sorry my bad
so the buttons (back, forwad) are inverted.
what could you do to help me?
i also sent you an email so you can help me privatly.
back there are still some problems when i install StrataBuddy.
Thank you!
#back-button:-moz-locale-dir(rtl),
#forward-button:-moz-locale-dir(rtl),
#status-bar resizer:-moz-locale-dir(rtl) {
-moz-transform: scaleX(-1) !important;
}
Let me know what other thinsg appear backwards and I *should* be able to use the same kind of code to fix them.

and i always switch with photoshop the buttons image to this:

When you click to download the jar file you should get a little notification asking you to install it. If you don't and it is on your hard drive, drag it into the add-ons window to install it.
I've never heard of a deviantART download link being down or corrupted, but in any case the above link should work fine.
Firefox could not install the file at
[link]
because: Download error
-228
According to Mozilla, error -228 means there isn't enough room to store the browser's cache. They say to make sure the minimum limit to be 1MB, and mine is 50MB. Any other suggestions?
Enter the start menu and type "firefox.exe -P". Let me know if it fixes the problem.
Failing that, according to Mozilla the file could be temporarily unavailable. This wouldn't make sense as you managed to download it. You could try opening the .jar using any unarchiving utility (.jar is just a renamed .zip) and seeing if there is anything inside or if it can indeed be opened. If it can't be opened, the file is temporarily unavailable t the site.
Of course, this also wouldn't make sense, as you can't get it from here either.
I've just signed up to deviant art because I like Strata40 theme and I've found there's not a Spanish translation for it. I have tried to download the files that need be translated, but all the links seem to be broken.
I'd love to translate it into Spanish (Spain), es-ES locale, so that more people in Spain and Spanish speaking countries become users of this great theme.
As I'm new here, I don't really know how it works, so if I've done anything wrong, please let me know.

They should be in the en-US locales folder in StrataBuddy's folder. You will need to find the locale for Spanish and translate those files, then you need to put them in their own locale folder and then modify the chrome.manifest file. Add this line to it and replace the bits as necessary:
locale StrataBuddy en-US locale/en-US/
en-US should be replaced by the Spanish locale.
It is a bit complicated. I might also add that for it to be available to everyone I would need to update it again. I would have to keep the version number the same otherwise people would think it was an entirely new version. Anyway, I would keep the version number the same, which would mean it would become experimental and would take a week or two for the editors to check it to make sure it is okay - meaning not many people would be downloading it in this time.
Basically, it probably isn't worth translating at this stage. I will be releasing a Strata40 for Firefox 4 in not too long, which should be the most polished and bug free version yet. It will not need / use StrataBuddy, which means a translation will not be needed.
Translate it if you like, and I will update the add-on but it probably wouldn't be worth it at the moment.
sorry for being so late. I haven't logged in for a while and i didn't get any notifications from deviantart.
I'm really looking forward to be using your theme in Firefox 4. So as you suggested I'll wait until you're ready.
Just tell me whenever you think it's time to do it. I don't know a lot about the "inner" part of software, but I guess I'll manage to do it with some research.
Please keep me informed, I'll try to translate in no time...hahaha. I guess it won't be such a huge file and in fact, most of if is already translated in the default firefox's menus and themes. I'm glad to be able to help.
By the way I also like twenty ten theme a lot, so if you want I can't do the job for that theme also.
