In short, I installed the Crystal Firefox about:blank-style created by Gartheepan, and found that it heavily slowed down Firefox while loading. The reason is that the image used is on DeviantArt, and is over 200 KB large. The download process can be very slow. Solution: Embed the image into the CSS using Base64. Gartheepan seemes to have tried, but 200 KB is too large for Userstyles.org. First installing the style, and then having to mod it with the code for the embedded image, might be too much hassle for some. I downloaded the image, resaved it as a 50 KB image, and converted it to Base64, so it could be embedded into the CSS-code. I found the 50 KB image quite satisfactory, because I do not look at about:blank for hours :) About the screenshot: This is Firefox 3, with Glasser 1.0.16 for the Glass effect, and Personal Menu to hide the menubar. And Crystal FireFox, of course. Thanks for creating Crystal Firefox, Gartheepan. It really makes Firefox look nice when just opening up
The Add-ons Manager optimized for usage in the sidebar. To optimize the “Get Add-ons” section for the sidebar, use Add-ons Manager - In the Sidebar - Companion.
Uses the glass effect on new tab page(about:blank). No other tabs are affected. Compatibility: Tested on Firefox 4.0 beta 7 Known bugs: Windows 7 Tab previews won't work correctly (when focusing on New Tab Page). No Sidebar or Findbar. Doesn't work in Full Screen mode. Stupid idea but it works, when every other style didn't work for me. if anyone has a better idea please share... Update 16/12/2010: Use this style instead Firefox 7+ About:Blank Glass by foxxyn8 -> Doesn't have the bugs mentioned above
Inspired by Knight Rider, I created a custom about:blank page. It looks great with a "dark" theme, like NASA Night Launch.
It will change the bored white background of about:blank with a dark (not black) background and a good quality firefox logo. Sorry about my english. Vamos Argentina! daro.brussa
My new theme called Minimal Elegance for new Firefox 4. It's a transparent theme for firefox with new button etc. You can see it on screenshot. For effect us is in screenshot you need Stratiform addon. Stratiform - https://addons.mozilla.org/cs/firefox/addon/stratiform/ and if you want bookmarks buttons on right of screenshot download: Google shortcuts - https://addons.mozilla.org/cs/firefox/addon/google-shortcuts-all-google-se/ Enjoy this theme ;)
Re-colored XxXAndrewXxX's version and embedded the file into the code.
