FireCocks Version 1.0

After many requests, I decided to create the first (from my searches) South Carolina Gamecock Firefox theme. If you are already using Firefox, raise your hand...if not, raise your standards. This is the very first version as I am still learning myself how Firefox and its GUI works. For now, the only major changes will be the icons and a tad bit of color- as well as some design/layout changes you may not be used to...slightly "Mac-ish".

The next changes will include light transparent backgrounds, scrollbar edits, and a few other small but noticeable changes.

If there are any problems, let me know by commenting so I can work them out. Even if something seems out of place and you are no expert, let me know- it could be an issue. If you have Firefox Version 2, it should work fine. If you are using the Version 3 beta, it may not work properly- but it will once that is officially released.

Directions:
1. Right click this link and save to your desktop.
2. In Firefox, click Tools>Add-ons.
3. Make sure you are under the "Themes" tab.
4. Drag the FireCocks theme, "FireCocksV1.jar" to that Firefox window.
5. It will begin to install automatically and ask you to restart Firefox.
6. If you bring up Firefox and notice the changes, you are done! Tell me what you think!
7. If you notice no change, go back to the Tools>Add-ons and click "Use This Theme" under the FireCocks theme.
