any theme that is built to use classic theming as its default appearance like MSFX IE5 and the IE6 Classic style Also update, i downloaded the en-US version of Firefox and it fixed the back button, the library though is still not fixed  Put "Bookmarks menu" instead. |

I made IE6 on XP variant by modifying the original MSFX (just like last year). Tested on 115 ESR. I suggest to use with Firefox native controls. It restores the native scrollbar and size change gripper in the status bar.

Hello! I installed this on Firefox 128, but the menus remain Aero-based and the color of the menubar is wrong.  |

This would be very appreciated. First, I think, it is better looking. Second, I think, calling tabs in browser "tabs" is a conceptual mistake, they are more like tasks, so the selector should be more like a taskbar. And third, most important, currently it is very difficult to see which tab is current, I made mistakes several times already. Here's a modified version of MSFX with tabs styled to look like K-Meleons. It's very much a work in progress and the close button still has the same icon. Could you please highlight the relevant parts of the code so I could use it in more modern UserChrome.css? |

But you have it quite well looking, including the scrollbars.

I wonder, why they removed following the native system's theme...

I have encountered somewhere that there is a css add-on that allows to sypport natively-themed controls in Firefox.

Oh that reminds me, I think the original scrollbar script in the msfx zip stopped working on later versions like maybe 116-118, I'm not sure as I was never able to get it working, but I did port some of the code/resources to a newer script I even figured out how to skin them (kinda) But yeah the main difference between the two screenshots is how the controls are drawn. In the IE6 screenshot the controls are drawn through -moz-default-appearence, in the IE8 screenshot, the controls are drawn manually through box shadows and borders using system colors

👀    (Yes, I forked your fork of MSFX 5 to make it so the menus aren't classic-themed when using themes, making it a bit more accurate (mostly the previously missing arrows inside some of the toolbar buttons), and adding an extensions button that can be optionally hidden, I might share this soon) |

I didn't think drop down marker is restorable. Yeah right now, to bring the menu, you gotta either right click on it or hold left click, but the hovering and holding animations look practically the same as in IE6 anyway, so that's gonna be cool. The first screenshot is how it looks like when holding left click, while the 2nd one is when you right click, and the last one is when you hover over the buttons obviously
If you just left click on the arrow, it will bring you back or forward instead of bringing up this dropdown menu... I have no idea how I could get this done in JavaScript as I don't have much experience with it. Attachments:

What is currently the best classic theme for Firefox 128? I am using the theme by Cynosphere now but it is not fully compatible and has lots of glitches.

I just had to downgrade esr myself, + disable automatic updates, classic theme colors should work out of the box, if you run into any issues try setting 'widget.non-native-theme.enabled' to false in about:config |

I currently have two variants and the both are buggy.
This is the one by Cynosphere:
Issues:
- Wrong borders around toolbars - Stop button does not fit - Download button has diufferent hue - Buttons on the bookmarks bar are not visually pressed when pressed.
This one from this thread:
Issues:
- Wrong icons - Non-Classic scrollbars - Tabs are above the address bar - No favicon in address bar
So, the both themes have different issues, how can I fix them?

While I am using the original MSFX in this thread, I have modified it a bit myself over the past year
To fix some of the issues in that screenshot, check to make sure the address bar is enabled and the buttons have to be rearranged manually, also you might want to check the addons button since stuff like the throbber might be hidden in it's overflow menu |
