SmallFox Concept — Description
This is a concept I came up with for Firefox. It aims to incorporate the Fennec style you see in mobile versions of Firefox into the full sized desktop version. In this newer version I decided to go with a lighter shade for the buttons, while retaining the same "inner" Fennec quality.

Despite the toolbars taking up very little room, the buttons are all nice and big to make for faster, easier browsing. The tabs on bottom version takes significantly more space and has larger tabs. Tabs on top is for space saving, tabs on bottom is for faster, more convenient browsing. A cool thing this theme does is give the illusion that it is not a compact theme. All of the elements seem big and chunky, but they are laid out in a way that saves a lot of space compared to the regular Firefox 4 layout.

Thanks goes to Boneyardbrew for the original idea of the tabs on top layout: [link]

Just so we are clear, this would be a Firefox 4 only theme, so that the tabs can be drawn in the titlebar and the theme can take advantage of Aero Glass without another add-on etc.

Oh, and the name is pretty much a direct translation of Fennec. Fennec means "small fox", hence why it is called that for mobile platforms. So SmallFox should be a fitting name, as it is a small (compact) theme for Firefox.

So, yeah. What do you guys think?
