Incompatible Theme for Pale Moon 31.0

Unread post by darkrats » 2022-05-10, 10:26

Just update my PM to version 31.0 and my favorite them (Moonfox3) no longer works. Tried installing from the official site, but no luck there. If anyone else uses this theme and finds one that works, please post a link.

I found a temporary workaround, until the official updated theme becomes available.

See this post from the main theme developer: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=28016&start=40#p227031

The pertinent part:
I will update all of the themes (hopefully in preparation of rather than a reaction to) v31 at some point, but it will need to be sporadic I'm afraid. I've been quite busy with some major turbulence in personal matters the past month or so.

@ darkrats

I'm in the same boat as you since my favorite theme, Micro Moon 1.10.2 only goes to version 29. So as a workaround, since I use a 27" external monitor which allows me to have lots of folders on the Bookmarks Toolbar, I'm now using DM Franklin's "Milestone 10" 1.2.1 theme which supports the 31 versions.

Like you, I'm hoping my favorite theme gets updated to support the 31 versions.

Yeah, I was a bit bummed when I couldn't get my favorite themes which is either Tangomoon or Walnutty but am glad to hear it will be forthcoming eventually.

Since "Milestone 10" v1.2.1 is a little hard for me to read because of my poor eyesight on Pale Moon 31.0, I've switched to "Moonscape" v7.2.1 which my eyesight likes better on Pale Moon (31.0).

I am in the same place: the Qute themes are obsolete, and I have been using Fox 2: The Moon instead. Lootyhoof has been selfless for improving the themes that he has notwithstanding his mother’s loss. I wish him the best in this, and would like to thank him for his devotion.

maybe the theme will work if you change max version to 31.* in install.rdf ?

No, themes are more strict about version compatibility because of specific CSS changes and what applies to extensions won't work with them. You may end up borking the look of the browser in unexpected ways resulting in it being unusable if you force install an incompatible theme. Just wait for it to be updated, else you'll have to find a different one.
