| Mozilla user interface design specialist Alex Faaborg wrote a
| lengthy blog entry last week about plans for the Firefox 3 visual
| refresh. Faaborg explained the importance of creating applications
| that visually integrate with the rest of the operating system and
| displays screenshots of the new default Firefox 3 themes for Mac OS
| X and Vista.

|
| Although Faaborg's blog post provides much insight into the efforts
| that Mozilla is investing in making Firefox 3 look right on Windows
| and Mac OS X, one thing was absent from his blog post: Linux. Linux
| users began posting comments on the blog requesting additional
| information about plans for Linux visual integration.
|
| The concerns expressed by Linux users were initially dismissed by
| Mozilla's lead user experience designer Mike Beltzner. "A visual
| refresh for Linux has not been scoped nor added to the [product
| requirements], and like previous incarnations, it will likely pick
| up the Windows XP theme," wrote Beltzner. "In terms of relative
| effort, it's not worth the time and investment cost for us to do
| this."
