You can change the size of the search box in Firefox 1.0PR to suit your needs. To make the search bar longer, you need to add a couple of CSS rules to your userChrome.css file. This file is located in your profile directory and can be hard to find. To make this change very easily, first get the chromEdit extension that allows you to edit the userChrome.css in your Firefox. Once you have added the code save the file, by clicking the Save button at the bottom of the Chrome Edit window and restart Firefox. The code is as follows:

#search-container
{
width: 15em;
}

#searchbar
{
width: 15em;
}

I have not released any updates to my Icon Manager icons for awhile. I have been slowly creating another set but in the meantime here are some links to other free icon sets of high qualtity.

I have created a couple of Tungsten DIA graffiti skins, in both landscape and portrait mode, for use on a T3 with SkinT3! All of these skins focus on our friend, Tux, the penguin and are designed to be merged with other skins in SkinT3!.

I have updated the Noia ZLauncher theme and DIA to fix a bug that was causing one icon, in each one, to render incorrectly. You can get the Noia ZLauncher theme from here and the DIA from here.
