Kempelton 3.2

Posted January 20, 2010 * Comments(11)

The new Kempelton version has an updated back and forward button style just like Qute 4.1, as well as a few more improvements. Each of the default set of toolbar icons has been carefully tweaked in color and shape. The back and forward buttons are slightly lighter and the stop icon is more subdued and shaded more consistent with the other icons.

With such a simple design as that of the Kempelton reload icon, you might think it would be easy to find the right shape, but I have kept finding the need to refine it in pretty much every version.

Together, I think, the impression is lighter and more balanced and harmonic.

Kempelton Large is also updated.

Icon set additions

The SVG set is updated as well and has a few additions not in the Firefox theme, seen here. They were for an updated Thunderbird theme, but then I lost interest and got less time.

    Simply the greatest Firefox theme!
    Thank’s for updating it to work with 3.6 :)
    I can’t seam to get personas to work any more though.
    Any one else experiencing the same?

    If anyone is having problems with personas,
    you have to downgrade personas to version 1.4.
    It’s not a bug with the theme.
    This theme is the greatest.

    Hello! Thanx for your great firefox theme. I just installed the latest version, but I have a small problem: Many of the icons in the menus are not visible (eg, “File -> New Tab”, and so on). Any workaround for that? Using Firefox 3.6 (Linux). Thanx…

    glad to see an update for firefox so soon after i upgraded to 3.6! the address book icons near the end of your post renewed my interest in getting a kempleton theme for thunderbird, so hopefully you’ll get more time for that again.

    thanks again for providing the best firefox theme for windows!

    Arvid, please port Kempelton theme over to Thunderbird 3 as well. The default TB3 theme looks just awful.
