Sad but true, Flock has a broken wing when it comes to themes.

Anycolour's messiness is a known bug, and we're currently working on it to get it up and running with Flock.
Sorry for any inconveniences this has caused.

The bug is Here. if you want to track its progress.

It does not appear much headway has been made on this unfortunately. Last entry was made two months ago and the response thus far is it works fine on Firefox so what is the problem. Ugh...

Thanks for the info and the update!

Thanks for the reply. I treat Flock as not equal to Firefox and vice versa, so I don't expect all FF extensions to work. However, it would be nice to mix Flock's appearance up once in a while, especially considering the fact that there aren't many themes available for it, yet.

Themes are one of Flock's downsides.

But i have implemented my own creation of themes with just using Stylish Addon scripts.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad...

Here is my current 2 themes just by using stylish scripts.
Mind you, this can be a little advance and also needs some trial and error.

I'm using userstyles script
FireFox 3 - ~:::==>>Vista Dark FireFox 3<
Vista Black for Firefox 3 -Sapphire- v1.6

and also a tabs bar reminiscent of Opera Browser.
Tabs Like Opera (for default theme) FF 2.0b2

Mind you my bookmark has changed it's location to above the bar inline with the Menu.

Thank you ! I will give it a try, I believe flock is a little lazy about themes, and this has been going on a while, wishing you happiness and thanks chyan. Bobby

No wonder you have no clue.. I forgot to give the script site. It's
[ http://userstyles.org/ ]
then install these (both must be installed together) :
1. http://userstyles.org/styles/10563
2. http://userstyles.org/styles/892

After the install, you'll see the default bookmark toolbar, just relocate it via view/toolbars/customize to the top *see the image above.

IF the script has changes to it,
here's my stylish script data *might have some unnecessary script that you'll don't need*

stylish.rdf

Download and copy to:

If you use windows search in run: %appdata%/flock/browser/[profilename].profile and copy those files there. You're all done.
Enjoy your new look.

Star me if you can. :P

Where is the default skin for Flock located?
Is it something we can use (by looking at and editing) to start creating our own themes or is it not yet at that point?

Program files/flock/chrome

If you wanna do those sort of modifications or creations..
I'd suggest you go google "make firefox theme" which in turns give you detailed instructions on how to do it. Since flock is pretty much the same engine with firefox (but still lots of differences that you have to deal with yourself).

That's weird. I didn't have that problem.
Which site are you talking about exactly?
If you're talking about Bett's link, it works perfectly.

Btw, have you followed the instructions?
"When you click download, select “Open with” and makes sure Flock is the program selected to open the file. If it is not, please select Flock from the drop down menu."

In short, right now you cannot change the theme (easily) because they changed too many things. Now if you're interested in using an add-on like Stylish and learn how to hack your way though, you could do that, but it's not for th faint of heart and it's not easy to do right now.

I tried the BlackJapan-Fl, WiFl and WimmFlock themes. I noticed two problems with all three. First, they created menus with transparent backgrounds and no borders, making it difficult to read the menu text (although a cool option for somebody who likes minimalist/bare-bones themes). Second, all of them prevented the All-in-One Sidebar (AiOS) extension from displaying panels in the sidebar.

Also with the Black-Japan-Fl theme, the toolbar background graphic didn't load, creating a half-black, half-gray toned toolbar. Also, the "Stop" button appears to be missing in that theme - while the screen shots do not display the stop button, I imagine it was omitted on purpose, but all themes should at least implement or replace the default buttons.

The themes look like good starts, though. One part that would be nice, although I'm not sure if it can be changed, is continuing the theme into the Facebook Chat extension. It sticks out like a sore thumb using any of these themes.

I am unable to download any of the Flock themes from http://www.virtusdesigns.net/?page_id....

At first, I was getting an error that a code line was too long which made me think it was a web site issue, but now it just says there is an issue connecting to the server. I will try again later in the off chance this server is down but was curious if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

I think Flock will definitely benefit if the developers switch to Firefox Personas - a quick and easy way to change browser's look.

I totally agree, Flock users should be able to use Firefox personas, it is a great way to change theme and quickly also.
