Cub-themed Firefox add on

I stumbled across this Firefox add on earlier today. It turns your Firefox browser into a Cub-themed one. It's not perfect. I find the bookmark panels to be a bit jarring on the eyes for example, but as Cub fan I find it kind of cool. Hopefully it'll be tweeked a bit by the add on creator.

I don't know

I found the ivy a bit much. Maybe over time I’ll get used to it.

Am I the only one who finds these tacky

And ugly, no matter how large a fan you are? On the other hand, I do like the laptop skins.

VERY difficult to read

How do i change it back

I am not sure if I like it? Am I stuck forever with this?

I love watching the Cubs during the season and dread watching them in the playoffs.

I don't think so.

If it’s like other Firefox add ons, it should be removable. Go into the tools menu and there should be an “add-on” selection. From there you should be able to uninstall it.

Yep, I checked it out.

You go to the “add-ons” section in the Tools menu. Then select the “Themes” tab. From there you can uninstall it completely or go back to the default without the uninstall.

Thanks madmf

It can be easily uninstalled. I share this with others and it may be annoying to those folks.

Unfortunately

It doesn’t work for Macs.

I was going to say that this post has FAIL written all over it

I mean, considering this is a ‘recommended’ fanshot and all. But thought I would leave the PC users alone, they have suffered enough already.

But you are right, we don’t need no stinkin’ add-ons.

Tried it and uninstalled it a minute later. Couldn’t see most of the menu, icons and pull downs. The theme is a good idea but not practical when it blocks out most of the tool bars.
