Well, MightyMu was looking at the images here and mentioned how he’d love to see this as a poster, preferrably 24″x36″. So, I made this. It’s 100% vector, so it will scale to whatever size you like. It’s in 2:3 ratio, so it will fit a 24″x36″ poster paper without any alterations, or 18″x12″ posters, etc. Here is a preview image made directly from the original. It was drawn in Adobe Illustrator, so I can export it to other formats, if folks wish, such as SVG, EPS, etc. I’ve got an SVG version, but it’s half a meg, so I am looking to see if it can be optimized or whatever.

Firefox has FireSomething, the random name generator, so I think Thunderbird needs something similar. Maybe even add a random-interval feature where the name will change (surprise) at random intervals. Imagine an application that just keeps changing it’s own name, randomly, while it’s still running. 🙂

Two things, basically. One, it looks like the Firefox team should have mailed Arvid Axelsson to tell him that since he wouldn’t open the license to the theme, they would be dumping it. And two, I hope Arvid sees that he has reduced the visibility of his work, reduced the respect for his name, and caused a lot of uproar in the community and extra work for the Firefox and Visual Identity teams. Had I been in his shoes, I’d have been glad to open the license. What’s better than having millions of people looking at your work, and all the potential name recognition (and potential employment) that could come from it?
