How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.

I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/

I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

With add-ons and themes you can change every single part of Firefox to do whatever you'd like.

Can a theme really change EVERYTHING?

Even, if I wished, for example, when hovering over the "new tab" button for the tooltip to say "cheezburger"?

I am asking, because I thought themes were only a sort of a wallpaper for the browser. I even currently have a persona installed, and thought themes were something similar.

@Tylerdowner: I see, then I will check out these themes.

@ideato: Thank you! While that only allowed me to change part of what I wanted, it was a relief to do it so easily, anyway. :)

Well, then, I will close this question while I investigate the themes.

Thank you all!
