Hi people,

I am using Fedora Core 2. I have Mozilla 1.7.2 installed on my box, but I am not fully satisfied. Though the theme and menus are great, but the buttons, radio buttons, and other widgets of the page being displayed look primitive and ugly. Please suggest a better browser, with the same power as mozilla, but looks like IE.

Have you tried Firefox?

More important to the look - which is the easiest to use, fastest, and most secure browser? Don't mind it ugly if it does the job, I'm fed up with pretty programs that do nothing useful

if mozilla has the same widgets displays as firefox (i think it does, firefox is supposed to be a striped version of mozilla)

then just switch the gtk2 theme

download a tool called switch2 or gtk-switch2 something like that, it will switch themes for you (for gtk2, gtk1 i cant seem to find a theme switcher (owell))

Hi,

I downloaded Firefox 0.93.....well looks a bit better than Mozilla. Ya, no doubt, mozilla is secure and powerful, but my problem is, I am fed up of powerful software which look aweful.

Is there any other ?? Except Opera Mozilla and Firefox ?? Is there any one which uses Mozilla engine, but has its own front end ??

for me it is the winer
Firefox

There are few more browsers like epiphany, galeon, konqueror (KDE), dillo.

You can change the look of mozilla, the program comes with 2 looks: classic and modern (you can also download other looks). I have chozen modern ant it's quite better than classic.

To change the look go to
view -> Apply a theme -> Modern ( + or - , because i have mozilla in catalan and i don't know if the buttons have this titles in english)

Mozilla and FireFox rocks.

I think epiphany looks most like IE, but it's not as feature-rich as mozilla or firefox.

hi,
i guess i also need functionality and security...so a browser based on mozilla will b good...the problem is not how the menus of mozilla look and feel, but how it displays the buttons and other gui of the webpage.....

so one said bout changing widgets...i didnt get it exactly what to do?? and by th way, whatever steps u say, r they reversible..??

PS: opera ?? no. has too many icons, and ads...

Go to "Tools", "Themes" and there will be a link in the box for downloading more themes.
I use the Noia Extreme and like the look of it.
--This is in Firefox 0.93--

Give it a try, it might change the way you look at Mozilla.

Hi,

I guess you misunderstood my question. The look of "FireFox" is good. What i want to say is....

eg. u open google.com then the button for "SEARCH" on the webpage looks ugly compared to IE. How can I change that??

How exactly ugly? Fonts? Colors?. Usually, fonts in Linux Browsers are a bit too small by default. If that is the problem you are having, open Firefox and choose Tools >> Options >> General >> Fonts and Colors. There, set up the "Font Minimum Size" to a size that will satisfy you, regarding you monitor and screen resolution. 11 or 12 is a good size for me.

Mind you, the concept of beauty and ugly is very vague: In my work, we have a really beautiful blond girl(from my point of view), that for another friend she looks ugly and not blond at all .

Hmmmm....

well fonts is one thing...I tried Fonts and Colors...but didnt find any "familiar" names and just closed it.

Besides fonts, the way a button, or a radio button or a combo box is made, is also primitive and ugly compared to how they do it in IE....and over that if u have XP....its mind blowing....I want the same feel for Firefox...or Mozilla...or any related one..
