Pretty Widgets for Firefox for Linux

Posted by dnite on October 28, 2006

So.. The switch to Ubuntu has had it’s ups and downs. But one annoyance I had was the un-styled ‘widgets’ in Firefox look like ass. So, I did some research and found that the people in the MacOSX camp seem to care a lot more about this than the Linux camp. There are a few options for MacOSX to make the widgets look nicer. And I found one person who customized it a little bit to work with Linux. I made a couple minor tweaks and repackaged it and am now sharing with all. This version has only been tested with Firefox 2.0, and if your not using Firefox 2.0 yet, I’d suggest upgrading anyways. Download it here! Enjoy!

    Thanks for this mate, they work just fine on Ubuntu Edgy.

    I had installed these files before, but then suddenly the widgets were ugly again. I guess a Firefox upgrade restored the old forms.css. Any idea how to prevent this?
