Qute gets improved

Arvid has been working with the default theme for Mozilla Firebird lately and fixed a lot of small css issues I mentioned, as well as improving the overall appearance of the toolbar icons.

The differences are subtle but very important for the overall professional appearance. Good work Arvid!

Yes, I'm also using the icon pack extension by Jed Brown for the window icon, originally designed by Lim Chee Aun.

Update: The recent changes in Qute was just checked in by kerz!

This is definitely an improvement. Those icons are so beautiful. It solve one problem that has irked me when using Qute. The icons are a little dark making it duller than other icon sets. The history icon maybe still too dark.

Wow, those are nifty, but I'll never see them anyways. After installing the Radial Context and Compact Menu extensions, I only have the urlbar, bookmarks, and search field.

Why does every new version of Qute have to look more and more like IE?

There's no reason why it can't be professional and non-IE-like at the same time!

where did you get that insider shot?

nemo, I guess I'm an insider. :)

I usually test the Qute theme for Arvid and provide him with feedback, that's why.
