not that i know of, however if you want to use a Firefox 3.6 theme on an updated browser you can try out Pale Moon, it has a 3.6 theme (it actually has two)

About the parallels Desktop thing, I tested it on CollabVM on Windows 11, and it worked almost flawlessly, only slight problem is when an app on the desktop is not installed on the real computer, it gives an error that can be resolved by installing the app.

are you trying this on 78ESR/79? if not then you should since it's only for those. Otherwise just go to about:profiles and open up the default profile (should look something like "C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\dphc0bhe.default-esr") (probably not exactly that since i'm using a different version of firefox) and then you just replace the chrome folder with the one from the github.

i would suggest using Pale Moon with the 3.6 theme and Active Stop Button alongside Resource Hacker and Title Bar Customizer instead, it can likely visit more websites since it's actively being updated

Hey, for the Xbox 360 Blades theme for Kodi in the Other section, it doesnt work with the newest version of Kodi, or Kodi at all. I had to use XBMC 10.0 for it to work. Just thought I'd tell you. It said that "Dependency of xbmc.gui 3.0 could not be satisfied" on newer versions.

AEROTHEMEPLASMA (7 theme for Linux) is for KDE Plasma


B00merang-Project (Vista/7 theme for Linux) is for GTK/GNOME


This is an important classification.

changed the wording on the linux things and added the widget preview, not planning on adding any more windows 8 start menus since there's already 2 and I don't want to bloat the post with a bunch of repeats, thank you for sending!
