So my comp updated itself to the newest version of Firefox yester-tag and I was astonished to see my tried-and-true "Glowygold" is no longer working.  I soon got over the tears, however, as I discovered Firefox now has steampunk personas that you can use to customize.  I selected the ever-popular (ten people are using it) Steampunk2.  Anyone else availing themselves?

Thanks for the link, upgraded FireFox last week and didn't look at the new personas. I decided to go with one of the Da Vinci ones.

The personas are nice but I am going to stick with my modified Old Factory theme.

I'm torn between Steamfox and Steampunk2 ('cause Steamfox looks sort of like the Serenity logo...).

I used to be a big fan of the steampunked Firefox Personas, but with one of their recent updates they made it so you could no longer mix a Persona with a custom icon theme... and I very much dislike the default icons that come with the Linux version of Firefox... so no more Personas for me, for the time being.

I may have to look into this lovely Old Factory theme, though... *muses*

Edit: Okay, now that I've gone back to KDE (from Gnome) the Linux icons aren't quite as bland so now I'm Persona'ing again Smiley still going to look into Old Factory, though *eyes screenshot a few posts up*

Wow, I never even knew you could do this with Firefox!  I've changed mine to 'Steampunk 2'.

Glowygold has now been updated and works with Firefox 3.6.2

I had a look at the Personas but they only add a sort of banner at the top of Firefox and you cannot combine them with an existing theme as far as I can see, so I am sticking to Glowygold as it is an overall theme.
