Uploading extensions

[mopskarel]

Hi, i was asking in os/2 topic about that also but, i made a IE8 theme called "Pale Explorer 8", based on FoxE9, i uploaded it on Phoebus Panel but on Active and Reviewed is red -, did i forgot something or someone needs to verify it? I had some work with it, i dont want to make it forgotten.

New extensions/themes should have an accompanying forum topic (in extension/theme releases/support) to alert our add-ons team something needs to be reviewed. This isn't automatic, and unfortunately our add-ons web software currently doesn't have an option to notify vetting team members upon submission of new add-ons, so it's a manual thing.
i.e. you didn't do anything wrong, just nobody was alerted that you uploaded it

I'll look into it later today.

I installed it on a fresh profile and it shows up as an extension rather than a theme
Also the buttons are changed but there's an extra pair of blank white buttons.

On my pc it looks correct, you can try to set default settings of icons (i dont know how to translate to english correctly)
About that it shows as extension i know, but idk what to do, that is problem of FoxE9 too.

Also, the firefox menu button wich i added too has some problem with toolbars, i will try to fix later

If you have this problem, reset all values about foxe9 in about:config

And also, why for example Stratum theme i can only find trought google but on page in list of themes no?

[_yup_]

FoxE9 is tagged as "extension" (<em:type>2</em:type>) in the install.rdf, whereas themes should be tagged as type 4.

it says that its broken when i change to 4

it says that its broken when i change to 4

That's another story... Themes must have an internalName property in the install.rdf (agreed with contents of chrome.manifest).

As you use Iceape, look at its "Modern" theme internals.

When i added line "<em:internalName>PaleExplorer8/1.3</em:internalName>" after version, it shows that it is incompatible with pale moon, i think i will keep it as extension.

No, you need to mark it as a theme and instead fix what is wrong. We won't inflict a broken mess on our users.

Point in case, this is the kind of stuff why we vet new add-ons.

That issue i fixed, but as theme it just not works, not changes anything.

For obvious reasons I can not look at Pale Explorer 8, but FoxE9 contains a lot of Javascript code. It looks like themes can not contain code, that's why FoxE9 was tagged as extension.

If so, it's a candidate to [Extensions: Appearance] category.

Yes, i also was uploading it to that category.

Ah so it's not actually a theme but something that makes UI modifications via scripting. Interesting idea.
Then yes it's an extension. That does require some more in-depth review int hat case because it's obviously more complex than a theme.

Stratum is on the list of themes:
