Mozilla theme directory?

Postby raid517 »
Where does mozilla normally keep its themes? I am considering upgrading to the latest version - but i don want to risk loosing my themes. (Yes I know its not supposed to happen - but it has happened before nonetheless).
Im running Debian Unstable.

Thanks, but I have a theme I want to keep from a commercial distro that isn't avaiable anywhere else. So I would like to be able to back my themes up. 
It might seem trivial - but I am keen to maintain GUI consistency.

Youre theme will be fine after you upgrade, back up the .mozilla
directory, its your profile. If you need to install your theme again
you can also do that from your theme file. File>Open File...>
navigate to your theme. Your them will be like theme.jar or
theme.xpi file format.
I use GrayModern on SuSE Linux 9.2 for Seamonkey Suite,
it looks great.
If you have issue installing your them, save this as a .html
file>open it in Seamonkey>and use it to install the theme.
Code: Select all
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2//en"><html><head><title>Theme Installer</title><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Arachnophilia 4.0"><meta name="FORMATTER" content="Arachnophilia 4.0"></head><body bgcolor="#C0C0C0" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#800080" alink="#ff0000"><center><table border="4" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" bordercolor="#7f7f7f"><tr><!-- Row 1 Column 1 --><td ><center><p><font size="+1">You can use this installer to install a Firefox theme. </font></p></center><script type="text/javascript">function installTheme(where) {
var file = '';
if (where == 'local') {
file = 'file:///' + escape(document.getElementById('filename').value.replace(/\\/g,'/'));
} else {
file = document.getElementById('url').value;
}
InstallTrigger.installChrome(InstallTrigger.SKIN, file, getName(file));
}// Finds the name of the theme from the filename
function getName(raw) {
var grabFileStart = raw.lastIndexOf('/');
var grabFileEnd = raw.lastIndexOf('.');
if (grabFileStart >= grabFileEnd) {
return 'Invalid file name';
} else {
return raw.substring(grabFileStart + 1,grabFileEnd);
}
}
function installThemeNow(file) { // used in the hrefs
InstallTrigger.installChrome(InstallTrigger.SKIN, file, getName(file));
return true;
}</script><table align="center" border="1"><tr><td><form action=""><fieldset class="right"><legend>Remote URL</legend><input type="text" id="url" value="" /> <input type="button" value="Install" onclick="installTheme('remote');" /></fieldset><fieldset class="left"><legend>Local File</legend><input type="file" id="filename" /> <input type="button" value="Install" onclick="installTheme('local');" /></fieldset></form></td></tr></table><p><center><font size="+1">Enter the local filename or URL and click Install.</font></center></td></tr></table></center></body></html>

Lol thanks. You are certainly very helpful. And that would be a good plan - if I knew exactly where the theme directory is located. And sadly as i decided to give it a go anyway, my themes and my settings have not been preserved. Not such a big deal really - as I can still pull the theme from the distributions live CD - if as i said, I knew where is was.
Thanks for the input.

Your themes are located either in the chrome directory under either the ~/.mozilla directory or the mozilla install directory. Type "locate chrome" to find the mozilla directory if you don't know where it is.

I found mine in the /mozilla/chrome directory. (install directory)
The 2 default ones are classic.jar/modern.jar. Some time the 3rd party
themes are themename.xpi, running the .xpi file extracts the .jar file and
intalls it that way.
