Theme looks horrible in Kubuntu Hardy

[Andrew Min]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

I'm using Kubuntu Hardy (just installed it). And while I applaud the Firefox devs for creating a Gnome theme, it looks just plain horrible in Kubuntu. The tab images don't even work right! Firefox 2.0 looked bad enough. Now, it's just plain horrid.

edit :
You can look at Bug #193538 for a qt native solution but it is not really a duplicate.

Agree. It looks especially horrible with tabmixplus installed - the tabs on the top row overlap the tabs on the bottom row.

Radio buttons and check boxes don't show while active (highlighted, or whatever), and only re-appear when the highlight is moves to another object or link.

Text select areas allow you to select an item, and it looks fine, but when the highlight is moved to another object or link, the selected item loses it's colour and goes back to normal, so you can't tell if you've got anything selected..

by highlight I mean focus. My side of this is also reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/223055
I'm not sure if these are separate issues or not.

Is this really a duplicate? Mostly Crystal (the beta version for FF 3) actually makes it look decent, even without a Qt interface. Still, by default it looks horrible.

as mentioned in the other bug its a native theme issue. the Mostly
Crystal FF theme was only posted as a workaround.

This theme has been written specifically for Firefox running on KDE 4: http://ramonantonio.net/kde-firefox

Works nicely....
