But not exactly perfect with the Tree Style Tab indented child tabs... Could that be fixed? Would be my all-time favourite then.

I keep looking for new themes every now & then and have liked a few very much in the past. But I never, ever wished to review any of them.

I specially registered this time to rate this awesome theme. I recently discovered (coz of another theme) how much screen space gets cleared with thin toolbar, menu bar, and tabbar (after Chrome cleared the title bar, one really needs FF to give more space), and set about looking for such a theme to match my XP look.

This is the sexiest, the slickest, and the smoothest! The developer has given such attention to small details, and yet nothing is excessive or fancy or too colourful. You won't even realize it's so soothing and nice on your eyes!

A few things it does wonderfully: nice fonts, scrollbar, favicons & buttons, smooth options & add-ons windows, sleek spaced-out text for 'find' bar & 'bookmarks' & 'history' sidebars (these have horizontal shading too), pretty & slim outlines around tabs and the L-bar, and No gradient, except a general soft-button feel! {Can't run out of superlatives for this one ;) }

Lovely.

This is one of the best, and it's probably the most thorough skin available. The depth of customization is immerse with almost every UI element getting its treatment unlike the majority of the more shallow efforts. I figure it even supplies special toolbar icons for some extensions like scrapbook. This theme is also very stylish and features excellent UI icons and features.
The two important things I didn't like concern tab skinning. First, it treats text color on tabs to a shade of grayish significantly reducing legibility. Second, it doesn't make friends with the vertical tab bar in Tab Kit. Some themes are at the least tolerable when tabs are vertical, but this one is strictly hard wired for horizontal tabs which totally ruins its style when going vertical.
5 stars for the amount of effort, though I hope vertical tabs will be better supported in the coming releases.

Great theme, but:
it distorts
Tree Style Tabs (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890) and renders pop-ups in Forecastfox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/398) illegible.

(Silvermel 1.0.1, Firefox 3.0.1, Vista)

I like the theme very much, it looks very precious. Nevertheless I have got problems when clicking on the icon of an attached .vcf file to add the contact. The icon is behind the username and is not clickable anymore. Can you confirm?

Sharebird, as usual this theme is outstanding. This is one of the most unique themes for Firefox and Thunderbird. I have been using this theme for both FF and TB for a long time. It never grows old.

This does work on Vista.
In fact I am amazed at how much work has gone into certain aspects of the theme. I really like the theme of the downloads and add-ons.
Thanks!

The theme has a complete integration with main extensions, for example Tab Mix Plus and Adblock, replacing this default icons. More, this theme replace everything I can see on Firefox, transforming in a most complete theme which I have seen.
Furthermore the icon set is clean and pretty.

Resuming: This is now my current theme. :-)
