About this site

NB Please put a POST TITLE when POSTING on the FORUMS or it will DISSAPEAR

Sorry about that, it is a bug that will have to wait a while :S

 

 

Hello and welcome to my website,

 

Firefox Themes:

 

The following themes for Firefox 3 are now available from Mozilla at...click here...

  • Arctic Glow
  • glowyblue
  • glowygreen
  • glowygold
  • glowywine

 

NB this list has both 2 and 3 versions without stating which is which, so you may need to 'back browse' to get the one of your choice.

 

I am unable to continue the following themes...

  • Tuxof - defunct
  • Glowyred - it was superceded by glowywine some time ago.
  • The Thunderbird themes - certain issues in dark theme maintenance.

It will take me ages to go through and test my themes on the vast number of extensions.

A common problem with my 'dark' themes is gold text on white (or similarly light) background.

If you find a problem with an extension you use caused by my themes then please email me on glowplug61@msn.com ASAP so I can fix it for you.

 

Site Content:

 

The main content of this website is a number of GIMP (Graphic Image Manipulation Program) tutorials.

I have created the tutorials with the intention that they should be...

  • Structured
  • Consistent
  • Focus primarily on HOW to achieve something

There is meant to be little if any concept of easy, medium or hard.

There are three main overall sections...

  1. Introduction
  2. Description of formats, jargon and techniques used
  3. Main tutorials with finite outcome

The Main tutorials follow a standard format...

  • An Introduction section - most with an accompanying picture
  • Exercises formatted in blocks with titles, numbers and/or bullets (HOW)
  • An end section describing Why certain steps were/were not done a certain way

 

Regards,

Greg
Site Development

For quite a number of reasons I have developed this site from scratch on my own.

That included all data modelling, application design and programming etc.

 

I created the database using MySQL5 for it's unix and stored procedure capabilities.

The applications layer is in Java for its cross platform capability and Object Oriented design.

NB with that said, almost all data logic occurs close to the data in stored procedures - the exception is the ISQL tool for admistration purposes only.

 

The core architecture is multi Company-Portal-Security-Application-Object.

This integrates with other objects to achieve a sound basis of extensibility.

 

An example of this is the appliance of template/theme by inheritence.

A single construction architecture prohibits reiteration while achieving utmost binding.

 

Put simply it allows a level of server performance that a number of other portal/web systems are incapable of.

 

I developed most of this during January and early Febraury of 2008.

Due to other commitments I was unable to give this much time from March through May.

As time permits I will be adding a number of other features for testing and/or proof of concept etc.

RE: All-in-One Sidebar scrollbars missing
Actually, the horizontal bar is missing in most if not all Sidebar panels (History, Bookmarks, Extensions... but Downloads is empty so I can't speak to that). The vertical scrollbar is missing in the Extensions panel (whether viewing extensions or themes)

span style="font-family: Arial;">OK, it shows up properly now.  What was wrong before was the desktop theme.  the firefox theme doesn't like the "Classic" desktop themes, only the windows xp style.  I didn't even think of that, thanks.br>

I can't actually see the text on the status bar, either usually or when i hover over a link.  I disabled my extensions and restarted and still my status bar shows up as grey.  Is it meant to be showing up as grey or another colour? At the moment
