*** For Firefox 3 version, see Alien Tech Firefox Add-ons (for Firefox 3) ***

This style intends to replace the default style for the firefox add-ons site: clear, light and simple. Here is a dark alternative for those who don't like it, need a change, or simply save their eyes while browsing late at night ^^

Why "Alien tech" ? Because it is made with a trichromatic color-scheme, mainly blue and red, linked together by some green elements; and especially because of the various glow effects. It reminds me some sort of a strange console...
Every icon, arrow and many others have been completely changed to match the new colors, even the firefox logo !
I tried to make this style as clear and readable as possible.

You can see a bigger screenshot of what it does here:

And sorry for now I have to post a version for Firefox 2 and another for Firefox 3...

Please read details in CSS file for more info.

-- Notes from CSS file --

This style is NOT for now intended to work with addons for Thunderbird, Seamonkey and Sunbird on then mozilla.org site.
I am not able to reskin the addon management part -for now- because I don't have any.

June, 23
I don't know what Mozilla is doing about the page layout, but they changed it three times in less than 5 days, and one was a regression. You may have experienced problems until some days ago. But it seems to work pretty fine now. Enjoy !
Todo: update screenshots.
