Plastikzilla is a theme for Mozilla to make it have the same look as the KDE programs with the Plastik style and the Crystal SVG 1.0 icon set.
FIREFOX USERS: This theme is only for Mozilla. If you use Firefox, you need Plastikfox instead. You may download it at:
· http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=11442
COLOR SCHEME: Plastikzilla doesn't follow the KDE color scheme. Remember it's just a theme for Mozilla (it doesn't contain any executable code), so it's impossible to do it. It's made with the 'Plastik' color scheme.
Please report bugs to 'vfernandez at polinux dot upv dot es'.
Thanks to Everaldo for his Crystal SVG icon sets. You can get them at:

HOW TO INSTALL
-----------------------
· Extract the files anywhere you want
· Open the index.html file in Mozilla (you don't need to be 'root')
· Click the "Install" button
· Accept when it prompts for the theme installation
· Restart Mozilla
· 'View' menu - Apply theme - Plastikzilla Crystal SVG
· Restart Mozilla again
· Enjoy!
Optionally, you can also install the patch for small toolbar icons:
· Select the tab "Icon size"
· Click the button "Install patch"
· Restart Mozilla
If you want, you may delete the downloaded files once the theme is installed.

You may use it.
If you prefer just to install the theme globally in your own installation you can take this anyway and extract it anywhere. Then extract browser.xpi, and inside it in bin/chrome you'll find a modified plastikzilla.jar suitable for global installation. Just copy it to the chrome directory where you installed Mozilla. You also need to add this to installed-chrome.txt:
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/plastikzilla.jar!/global/
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/plastikzilla.jar!/communicator/
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/plastikzilla.jar!/editor/
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/plastikzilla.jar!/messenger/
skin,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/plastikzilla.jar!/navigator/
If you want to make it the default theme you need to change:
skin,install,select,classic/1.0
to:
skin,install,select,plastikzilla/1.3

Using the small size toolbar buttons with Mozilla 1.6/1.7, I've noticed a slight problem. Open two tabs. Keep one blank - the back and forward buttons will be grey. In the second tab, open a site, then click on a link. Now that you have a history, the back button will be blue. Switch between the two tabs, and notice how Mozilla resizes the toolbars by two pixels when you switch. It seems that the size of the various icons - back, forward - isn't identical when blue or grey. This is annoying since it takes a half second for Mozilla to resize each time.
The fix is to edit communicator/subskin/small-toolbar-icons.css is the plastikzilla.jar and replace
#nav-bar-buttons .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker, #print-button .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker {
margin-top: 16px !important;
margin-left: 16px !important;
}
with
#nav-bar-buttons .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker, #print-button .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker {
margin-top: 14px !important;
margin-left: 14px !important;
}
Hopefully the next release will fix this.
Thanks!

I think a port of plastikzilla to thunderbird would be very appreciate ;)
I've added a piece of CSS in my userC*.css to style the startpage and general panel, so my thunderbird have a little look of a kde crystal application
http://n.mo.free.fr/thunder/
Screenshots:

(it would be very nice with a plastikthunder theme i guess ;)
NB: the general panel CSS can be ported to mozilla mail but not the start page one

Cause firefox users don't know about it, and i think your theme is far better than the actual crystal-like theme registered in the theme database

If you have time you might take a look at it.
Second thing is, that it seems there are no small icons for the mail part, I still have the big icons there and I'd like to see small icons there too.
Else these theme is just awesome :)

Maybe there is a workaround for this?
This theme is the BEST ever theme ...
(Hope that Mozilla will place it as default :-)

Edit the "index.html" file and search for a line like this:
} else if (rv != '1.3' && rv != '1.4' && rv != '1.5' && rv != '1.6') {
Then change it to:
} else if (rv != '1.3' && rv != '1.4' && rv != '1.5' && rv != '1.6' && rv != '1.7') {
Also, change this line:
if (rv == '1.5' || rv == '1.6')
to:
if (rv == '1.5' || rv == '1.6' || rv == '1.7')
I don't know if it's compatible because I haven't taken a look at the code, but you can try it. Please tell me whether it works or not. If it doesn't work, in the next release I'll make the required changes to make it work.
