Below are some more previews of the Brush Styles, and a feature similar to Personas (allows you to put background images behind the browser – see here).
I cannot wait to release Foxdie 3.6! However, the old customization page cannot handle all of the new features that I have added. So I have asked 2 of my friends to help me with this part. How can I release Foxdie 3.6 without customization? 
I am working very hard to get Foxdie 3.6 released by the end of this month. Thank you everyone for your patience!

Looks very nice. Can’t wait to try it out.

Thanx a lot for all your hard work! I can’t belive that I updated to Firefox 3.6 before Foxdie 3.6 was released. What a mistake!
(Quote)
Take your time. I held off upgrading to FF3.6 just because of Foxdie, and it’s worth the wait.
(Quote)
Coolage, the ironic thing is that except for the upright tabs I’m starting to like the rest of the layout.
Just a note, Foxdie is now breaking in the latest (3.7a4pre) builds.
Thanks for all the work you are doing, cheers.
(Quote)
I’ll upgrade it to 3.7 once I release 3.6, I even want to do it right now
(Quote)
DAMN, THIS IS SO COOL! Please, PLEEEEEASE, release this ASAP! Foxdie was the ONLY theme that I liked for FF3.5, and I hope to see it as soon as possible on FF3.6!
And one question, when we will have the glass compatible version?
(Quote)
Cool! Will wait for this, John. Keep up the good work! =)
(Quote)
hey i can’t wait… it is really amazing
thanks man for your efforts
regards,,,
(Quote)
Looks great! Finally we’ll have a decent FF
I did the same mistake!
I think that John said “not before Glasser is fixed on Firefox 3.7″.
(Quote)
Take your time Mr. JL.
We are waiting. No rush. Breathe.
(Quote)
That looks awesome! Thanks for your hard work … My FF3.6 looks so default without Foxdie. And 3.6 is worth the wait.
(Quote)
I won’t install firefox 3.6 unless i have foxdie 3.6
Hope you’ll release this soon. :0
(Quote)
Looks great as always John! Nice work.
(Quote)
Great to hear it will be out soon
.
I hope there will be an option to have a non-textured GUI. I liked the sleek look of the plain grey interface from 3.5. Fingers crossed this is still an option.

yes I made the same mistake, but in my case I had just discovered Foxdie Loved the new interface & then without thinking about updated to 3.6 domage oh well not long to wait
(Quote)
I’m not sure about this right now
(Quote)
Hi Hayden,
There would be 4 properties for Layouts(this might need a better name): Solid colors, Textures, Background images, Styles. When you choose Solid colors, you will have what you want
(Quote)
progress rate? 90%? 95%?
(Quote)
Thank you John for your reply. It’s good news indeed! “Layouts” is an okay name. I tried to think of something more descriptive but nothing came to mind. Good luck! Hayden.
(Quote)
Hey John is there an option to hide that +Bookmark button the old is more cool than this
(Quote)
Looking forward to try out the brushed styles. Keep up the good work, you make a lot of people happy.
(Quote)
This is miles ahead of all other FF themes. Amazing work. Can’t wait to try it out.
(Quote)
Of the 4 properties for Layouts you mention, are the background images choosable by users? For example, I know I can download background images from personas or elsewhere; would I then be able to use them by putting them in some folder and having Foxdie integrate them?
Please release another beta by the end of this month, even if the customizations aren’t done!
Thanks so much for making this awesome theme and all the hard work!!

“Take your time. I held off upgrading to FF3.6 just because of Foxdie, and it’s worth the wait.”
^^^^^ Me too.
I really love Foxdie as I’m a huge Mac fan, hopefully this will get an updated release by the end of the month.
(Quote)
Instead of calling it “Layouts”, you could call it “Interface”. Just an idea.
Keep up the hard work, really looking forward to using this.

I fall in love with Foxdie and I just can’t wait for the new release (it sounds so cool the personas look)
KEEP THE FINE AND REALLY GOOD WORK
(Quote)
hey john! foxdie is my favorite theme! however, i only use the safari4 or firefox default ones and i was wondering if it is possible for you to release a lite version with just these two and no colorization. i like my firefox to look as plain or regular as possible haha
thanks for all your hard work!!
(Quote)
Hey, could you please e-mail, when theme for 3.6 is ready?
(Quote)
98%, 99%? I’m not sure how exactly it is…
(Quote)
I move it to the left side just because Firefox 4 will do the same.
But if you want the “star” not “+”, I can make “+” as an option in future
See Firefox 4 here
Windows Firefox 4
Mac Firefox 4
(Quote)
Allow users to choose background images from their computer is the 3rd step about this.
Step 1: I will put some images into the Foxdie suit, anyone can send me what they want. This is what you will have in 3.6
Step 2: I will try to build something like Personas, then people can upload their images to let people wear them like this.
Step 3: Allow users to choose images from their computer.
Step 2-3 need much more time
If I can’t release the version with customization this month, then I’ll upload beta 2 as you want
(Quote)
Thank you.
Interface is nice, it reminds me of another one “Appearance”, is this used in the Windows control panel?
(Quote)
Hi, Richard
Another version will be very hard for me to maintain, but I can make a lite version of the customize page later
(Quote)
Thanks for the reply John the “star” is more beautifull together with the adressbar as Firefox 4 original than “+” with separator
(Quote)
ff 3.6.2 is released now, if hypothetically ff 3.7 comes out before foxdie 3.6 does that mean you have to rewrite the whole thing again for 3.7?
(Quote)
(Quote)
Firefox 3.7 is still in Alpha and it won’t be come out soon.
Foxdie 3.6 will be released soon.
I’ll rewrite some parts of Foxdie for Firefox 3.7 after I release 3.6, it will be very fast, much faster than ever

Are you doing anything to help? Is John doing all this for free in his own spare time? I think you owe him credit if anything! He should really deserve our donations as this theme is one of the slickest I’ve seen.
Keep up the work John, we are all behind you and are willing to wait
.
I like “Appearance”, it really describes the option will. You should use it!.

Ya John, I’ve given up on 3.7 until you can get serious about getting things done.
Seriously guys, give the man a break, 3.6 will be around for months to come, and I would rather a working theme instead of a poorly patched one quickly thrown together to meet public demand.
Just my 2 cents worth.
(Quote)
Hi John. Just want you know that we really appreciate your hard work and your excellent product in the past. Good luck with foxdie 3.6 and we are waiting for your new excellence!

That’s not me, but I can’t release it tomorrow because I want to release it with a better and more friendly customize page, but we are not that satisfy with it right now, that’s why I said “How can I release Foxdie 3.6 without customization?”
(Quote)
You know everything
(Quote)
Hi John, looks like the lions have started to bite……any chance you could placate your loyal fans and predict a day/date that you will roll the full update out as its all a bit up in the air.
Cheers, David
(Quote)
Thanks David
The “Day/Date” is the hardest question for me.
I always receive many emails/messages asking “When….”, and I always answer them “It will be finished when it is finished”, this is the honest answer. But seems like people don’t like this answer much, so when I thought I can finish it this month or next month, I’ll tell them this month or next month.
We are working on it hours and hours every day recently, my partners told me they can absolutely finish their parts in Mar, and guess what… we had some fights this week, because they showed me their shit progress… Nobody know why they are so slow. I have no time for other things, by the way, I want to play GOD OF WAR 3 very very much, but I don’t know when I will have time for it.
I’ll release it once I get the new customize page finished, it can be anytime.

I don’t know how to change mine either

Could we maybe get an option to have one click open a new tab, instead of a double click?
This would be in the space anywhere to the right of a tab.
Either way, Foxdie=best Firefox theme!

You don’t want to make this an open source project, do you? You could put it on google code and put tasks up for people to tackle according to their knowledge…?

That wasn’t me! John, check the Avatars like you mentioned

3.5 has this option, but I’ve removed it from 3.6, because there was a weird bug.
Since you want it, I’ll try to fix that bug and add it back.

I feel so sorry about that, but it’s nothing to do with the April Fools

You misunderstand
My partners are my classmates, we can sit in a room to discuss and cooperate, in this case, it is much better than Google code.

GrApple is good and Aronnax is nice
(Quote)
You can only drag it in the Navigation toolbar, Bookmarks toolbar, and Customize toolbar in version 3.6, isn’t this enough?
I don’t know how to make option to disable this feature without bugs right now
(Quote)
Thanks, I didn’t notice that.
Some guys don’t like and try to stop what I am doing, this was annoying to me, but not anymore.

Only kidding bro. Take your time. It would have been funny though and some of the guys here would have been so pissed off.

Sorry to disappoint you, but that language is Portuguese (Brazilian Portuguese)
Spanish and Portuguese are similar because they are neo latin languages. Italian, Romanian and French have the same origin as well.

Hey guys, give John Locke a break. He’s doing this on his one time, and we’re getting it for free. You guys are so demanding for a product you get for free. I mean I want this out yesterday before today, but all I can do is wait, and thank the creator for such awesome product. I am literally waiting for foxdie to come out before I update to firefox 3.6. Mozilla is not making it any easier with their new UPDATE NOW prompts.
Good job john on making the best (shiniest) theme for firefox.

I agree, well put.

Hi John
I like how Chrome add more space view to pages 
If you add a Chrome theme to your collection I’ll be very happy 
I’m using Chrome these days I must say its pretty fast but F.Fox is always on the top for me, thanks to the add-ons plus your Foxdie themes
Keep up the good stuff n take care

Hey, John. Since you are getting over 100 comments, (half of them are from you, though). Maybe you can have a new post telling all the concerning people what you are doing right now, let them see how far you have got and shutting up!

Can you release a second beta that has partial customization or something?
Thanks again,

Agreed we are impatient about a release.. we will shut up (for a while at least) if you release a new beta

Dear John; I’m so disappointed that you haven’t realest the update for Foxdie 3.6 yet; just remember that prevalence equals relevance, we can (do) love you to death, but you got to give us the meat and potatoes soon, you now have a world wide audience and we aspect no less from the best. FF3.7 it’s right around the corner and you haven’t delivered the goods on 3.6
Brotherly love;

god damn people if you want this theme so much download Nightly Tester Tools add-on and forced compatibility with 3.6 and shut up and let John release the theme when he’s done.

So are you ready to release a version for 4.0 yet?
Things are getting quite heated, no one needs such pressures.

r u even going to release it or not??? we have been waiting long enough man!!! im checkin this site everyday… im jus looosing hope… i guess ur busy doin other things in life… i understand but get this shit done soooon!!!! plssssssssssssssss

@125 the same, waiting since February..
(Quote)
@Merv,
Don’t be a jerk. If you want something done faster, better, etc. why not put forth some effort and do it yourself instead of being a DB? John is doing this on his own time – not being paid – and out of the goodness of his heart. He has no obligations to you nor does he owe you anything.
(Quote)
My previous post goes is for Hernando, ZET, and justin as well.
There’s nothing worse than people begging, pressuring, and blatantly being rude over free stuff. Write the theme yourself if you are so much better than John.
(Quote)
oh i understand tht he has no obligations to me or anyone, but he said it himself tht he will release it by end of last month… so y give hope sayin things like tht??? y didnt he jus say, “oh ill release it whenever i want hopefully sooon”… so shut up jason… im not askin u to do it… if i kno id do it maself…. u prick
(Quote)
… So if he said “I’ll release it soon”, I’m pretty sure you’ll just starting asking things like “When? Give us an idea.” …and well, look what happens with you throw out an estimate that isn’t made. People like you come on and trash talk the developer — who is giving you free stuff.
For the record, if you want to make a point try being able to spell and actually form a full sentence.

I REALLY REALLY THANK YOU FOR DOING IT FOR US AND ALSO FOR SHARING IT WITH EVERYONE.

Hola Dudes, John decided to play in the major leagues and there you’ll find heavy duty pressure, competition, great exposure and NO MERCY; if he doesn’t want the pressure he doesn’t have to play. John is really good and I hope he comes through with his project before I get tired of waiting; being good at what you do also requires that you deliver on time; prevalence is relevance, If you don’t deliver then I can’t see you and then you (John) becomes irrelevant. John you got my full support and admiration, but you’re not getting any mercy from me, please succeed and do so soon!!!
(Quote)
Some truly amazing work from you. I honestly want to say thanks for all of the hard work you do in creating this theme. It’s my favorite by far and I’ve only even glimpsed at Strata40 and the other one like it that escapes my mind.
(Quote)
Let me explain.We just want the theme because is the best theme for Firefox in the world.
(Quote)
This seem to be taken forever… Surely there are people outside that are willing to help; myself don’t know much about the technology behind mozilla/skins/etc but I can contribute with documentation and traslation to spanish.
Don’t get me wrong but waiting for ever on every release is sometimes frustrating… You know how it feels when you truly want something but have to wait for it… not cool I mean.
So if there is anything I could help to speed releases (but to stay shut
) count on me.

(Quote)
I will not shut up nor am I a prick. You’re the one crying over a theme for a freaking web browser. Grow up and get over it. The web browser works with/without the theme and is in no way interfering with your browsing needs. If you seriously act like a child over a free piece of software (much like infants throw temper tantrums), you have seriously gone off the deep end of sanity. Take your head out of your backside and attempt to come back to reality…in fact, you may want to turn your computer off for just a little while and take a step outside into the real world.
Also, learn to spell. I wouldn’t be surprised if you speak the same way you type.
(Quote)
Major leagues? Seriously? Do you people even listen to what you say/type or are you too far gone into some alternate dimension of pure 0’s and 1’s? It’s a theme for a web browser. He’s not mapping the genome project here
(Quote)
John, you are the Michael Angelo of theme web browser design, I love your work even though it’s is not the genome project, but you definitely have a worldwide audience. I’m glad to see your latest progress report and it looks spectacular; I’m also glad to know that you are still there with us, your fans and supporters.
To Jason, please don’t take too seriously because I don’t, I just enjoy it, and like you said, is not the genome project, besides we are probably in the same dimension, the FOXDIE and John ’s fans and supporters.
Thank you for your hard work!

Hello John,
First and foremost, thank you for all of your hard work. I have been a big fan of Foxdie, and I regret ever updating to 3.6 due to my missing favorite theme! Can’t wait until you are finished with it. Will the favicon only icons be present once it is released? I enjoy keeping my dash simple, with icons only. Keep up the good work.
Regards,
Mike

I would give just about anything if this theme was available for Google Chrome!
No other theme compares to this one, but no other browser (at least in my opinion) compares to the lightning fast speed of Chrome. I want my cake and eat it, too!

Thanks mate.
Chrome can only be themed on very few places and it can’t be customized like this way.
But Firefox 4 will be must faster than the currently 3.6
