Firefox’s New Winstripe Theme
Kevin Gerich and Stephen Horlander’s Winstripe is the new default theme for the Windows version of Mozilla Firefox, replacing Arvid’s Qute.
Personally, I think there’s two issues at hand over this current controversy:
-
Open-Sourcing Artwork
I can understand the difficulty Ben Goodger (and the rest of the Firefox team) faced working without a proper Mozilla-compatible license for Arvid’s Qute theme. But as a fellow artist, the idea of “open-sourcing” artwork (with derivatives!) is a very tricky and controversial issue. While Arvid’s being extremely difficult, I can still see why it’s hard for him to give up his “creation” initially.While this may ultimately be the best possible compromise for the Mozilla Firefox team, can’t possibily be good for the future of visual artists interested in open source projects. If Qute designer Arvid could be so quickly dropped on such a high profile project, who’s next?
-
Sacrifices Towards a Unified Theme
Keeping in mind that Winstripe is still a work in progress, the branding team still needs to decide how far they are willing to develop a unified theme. Will changes be made to both Pinstripe and Winstripe to make them respectful of both operating systems’ user interface guidelines? Right now, it feels like the Windows theme is the only one being sacrificed in the name of a “unified theme”.

Aw, this was an exceptionally good post.
Taking the time and actual effort to produce a top notch article?
but what can I say? I hesitate a lot and never seem to get nearly anything
done. https://www.wristbands-for-events.com/blog/wp-login.php

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured
I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links
or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to send me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way! https://www.custom-silicone-bracelet-cheap.com/blog/wp-login.php
