A new dark Theme for WinCustomize
First alternative theme for WinCustomize - a skin for our skinning site.
Thursday, February 11, 2010 by zigboom | Discussion: New Releases
Hi
Have you ever wished there would be some alternative themes for our beloved site?
Most likely you did, after all we all love skinning and using alternative themes for our applications.
Not sure if you know already, but there is a way to skin websites, it's called "Stylish" for Firefox.
Stylish is an Add-on for Firefox that let's the user apply various styles to existing websites.
There are many styles (themes) for popular sites such as Google, Facebook etc.
It's one of the coolest Add-ons I know that let you style your web, quite futuristic.
The paradox is, there is no theme for Wincustomize, our beloved site that is one of the biggest skinning communities.
Well, there wasn't until today.
I took the mission to make the first alternative dark theme for WinCustomize and Wincustomize Beta.
It's optimized mostly for the beta site but works on both so when the beta will become the main site it'll work the same.
To use it you'll need to install Stylish add on for Firefox from here - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108
Then to apply the style, just one click on "Install with Stylish" here - http://userstyles.org/styles/25121
Hope you'll enjoy it,
comments are welcome.

Been there done that. I have enough on my laptop to last me a good long time. Thanks for keeping at it though.

No problem Uvah, you're welcome anyway. This is a must have if you like dark themes and use some. It won't hurt your PC 
It's not a program, just a little add-on for Firefox that allows to style the WEB, if you'll get into it, you'll get hooked
The main usability anyway is for people who like dark designs ( and for people that want to protect their eyes

I know but add-ons tend to multiply to the point of being unusable. What I have I'm satisfied with.

Yes, it's true for most add-ons, even though Stylish is quite different. It only apply some CSS instructions, this CSS code replaces the CSS that's styling Wincustomize in this case, not adding anything significant at all.
When you don't surf Wincustomize, this code doesn't apply at all so you won't feel any change in Firefox's performance.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, if you're happy from your setup - enjoy it.
Thanks for the feedback anyway.
