Hi everyone, sorry about this, but unfortunately I relied only on the information from the archived AMO page regarding the license. It turned out that the actual license does not allow the original theme to be forked.

The repository has been closed.

There's no way to contact the author and ask nicely?

[Halvar]

I’ll give it a try. Worst case, he’ll say no.

The LavaMoon Red repository is now open again.

Update: LavaMoon Red 2.2.0

This is the first stable Pale Moon release of LavaMoon Red, based on the original LavaFox V2 2.1.1 theme by Zigboom and published with the original author's permission.

Main changes since the previous pre-release work:

- fixed Permissions Manager geometry
- restored the missing Show Notifications icon
- matched the Preferences window geometry more closely to the default theme
- updated the Add-ons Manager layout while keeping the LavaMoon Red visual style
- restored the correct Red selected pane button background in Preferences
- cleaned up leftover internal development artifacts
- kept the original license terms and added the Pale Moon fork/adaptation permission notice

This release continues the original LavaFox V2 2.1.1 line as LavaMoon Red 2.2.0 for Pale Moon.
