About Me
I am a former high school math Teacher, a husband, and a father of two with one more on the way.
I graduated with a degree in Physiological Sciences from the University of Arizona. I followed that up with a masters of Arts in Teaching degree from George Fox University with an endorsement in Advanced Mathematics.
After teaching math to high schoolers for five years, I was recruited to work for the web browser Flock after they saw the work I had done on the side developing themes for Firefox.
My work includes Aero Fox, Aero Fox Silver, Aquatint Redone, Aquatint Black, Abstract Classic, Abstract Zune, Bible Fox and many others.
Unfortunately, due to the recent drop in the U.S. economy, I was laid off from Flock after only five months following major payroll cuts. As I continue to develop themes for Firefox and now Flock, my hope is to be able to turn it into a business developing high quality user interface for browsers and websites. I love doing this sort of thing and appreciate the feedback and support I have received from users.
This site will mainly be for updates as I work on maintaining and improving my themes. I have added a discussion forum to my main site, www.virtusdesigns.com, as well for people who want to post comments, start discussions, and help out with troubleshooting issues.

Installing Files
My recent updates and all themes from this point on will be in xpi format. This allows for automatic installation upon download making it easier to get the themes.
Some of my themes are still jar files. To install a jar file
First save the file to your hard drive. Then, open Firefox/Thunderbird>Tools>Add-Ons. Drag and drop the .jar file in the theme window and click install. Select the theme tab and click on the "use theme" button. Restart Firefox/Thunderbird to use the new theme.

Hi. First of all thank you for these nice themes! (I found FF3 default horrible, at least under Linux.) I don't know if it's a known problem or not, but under Linux when I move the mouse pointer over a menu item, the menu item simply disappears.
It seems to be similar to: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=631380. The images at the bottom of the page show the problem. Is there anyone who can confirm this? I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008041515 Firefox/3.0b5.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the update for FF3!
There appears to be a missing down arrow adjacent to the back button preventing navigation back multiple pages.
I have found a bug in aquatint redone for FF2, but where do I report it.
I would also like to thank you for the theme building guide. Today afternoon I was thinking of making a theme by tampering with FF default theme and here I found the way to do it.
Hi. Nice to have one guy to enhance the look and feel of the FF3. I am using OpenSUSe10.3 with FF3 RC1 on KDE-3.5.7. As derefer said, using Aquatint Redone for FF3, when you mouse over on the menu, the menu simply disappear. Can you take a look to fix this problem? Another problem I found using this theme is the weird position of the bookmark menu, when you intend to bookmark a page, meaning the whole form became transparent somehow, and you barely can understand what is there. The bookmark icon appear in a weird fashion too.
Keep up with the good work.
Ok, I am having trouble downloading and opening this theme on my computer. I have tried several themes to make sure it wasn't just one of them. I get a window that pops up saying it's a corrupt file and windows can't open it. I tried opening with Firefox and Javascript. Any suggestions? I have FF3 installed and running. Thanks :-)
I love your themes, really nice job. I would have hated losing them after upgrading to FF3.
Thank you for sharing them.
The only bug I have noticed is when you hover over the close button on the tab it seems to re-align and move off the tab.
Thank you for Aerofox (dark). I am having the same problem as trishalee. I get a corrupt file message.
