I see what you mean, but the dev of this venerable theme is gone with the wind. In this case, the incompatibility was merely a too-low max version.New Tobin Paradigm wrote:Themes are always considered strict compatibility. So if it says it isn't compatible then it isn't. Know that unaltered Firefox Themes are not supported by their very nature of being.. wait for it.. unaltered .. Firefox .. themes.
I'm not the dev, and I wouldn't feel right about making my home-made "compatible" version available to the general public. I'm guessing (hoping) that the few people who happen to use this theme are adequately knowledgeable about the issue to make the change as I did.Don't worry, by the end of the weekend there will be a Basilisk Add-ons Site so you can properly fork said themes and release them for the Basilisk!
I've revised my posting. I would have deleted it, but you were too quick on the trigger for me.As an aside, did you have a point beyond incompatible theme is incompatible?
Unfortunately, this is not always possible due to copyright restrictions, especially for themes, as you know.New Tobin Paradigm wrote:[..] so you can properly fork said themes and release them for the Basilisk!
You are assuming there haven't been any skin related changes to Basilisk. Now I am not sure there have or haven't been.. I do know there have been a few since it was Firefox 52.. But this release? Dunno. Don't really care either. But you should be aware of that.New Tobin Paradigm wrote:[...]so you can properly fork said themes and release them for the Basilisk!
OK, thanks.JustOff wrote:This is a side effect of switching Basilisk to use the Pale Moon Add-on Manager when disabling experimental support for WebExtension.
This is what I did.The quick and dirty workaround is to change maxVersion
WOW!!!! Great!!!... or use Serpent Tester Tool.
In this world, you're always on your own.But you are on your own, if you do so.

I'm not sure whether you're referring to JustOff's potentially useful tool or the fact that I offered unsolicited assistance regarding the solution to the problem I encountered with the hope of helping others. I any case, of course, you're right, which is why I'm thankful this forum exists. You and others have helped me many times.Moonchild wrote:This thread actually proves the oppositeJoeyG wrote:In this world, you're always on your own.
Of course.This forum and community tries to make sure you're not on your own, but there are limits, of course.
That's why I haven't used it yet.Using a tester tool designed for theme/extension developers in daily use as an end user is definitely beyond those limits.
