Kempelton: Revenge of the Qute

Arvid Axelsson originally created the Qute theme way back in 2004, and was the default theme in Firefox pre-1.0 (after Orbit was abandoned). But now there's more!

After Firefox was released as 1.0 a new theme (Winstripe) was used as the default theme, as it fitted Windows XP more. Later the theme was tweaked in Firefox 2 and completely overhauled in Firefox 3. Qute was abandoned as the default theme, but supported throughout the years by its designer/developer Arvid Axelsson.

But now it's time for revenge. Firefox 3 (and 3.5) use the new Strata theme, but at least personally it's a theme with good ideas, but lacks color and flair like the old themes had. With Arvid Axelsson still out there in the big open world, he has created Kempelton, a new theme, that fits Windows XP/Vista/7 very well. Not only sports it more color, but in combination with Aero it still looks sweet!

While we're at it, other Firefox add-ons I use are: Stylish with the applied styles to fix the tabs in Vista/7 and remove the Stylish icon from the status bar. Of course to fit in with the rest of the browsers I use an add-on to hide the menu bar.
