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.

The new version of Aero Silver is too dark! The active tab being so much darker than the other tabs is a bit confusing. I also have lines between my Search Status plugin sections. Maybe my eyes just need to adjust to the new theme, but the previous version looked a bit more fluid IMO.
I am using Bible Blue Basic. I have noticed that the navigation bar does not resize smaller when the icon size is changed to small.
I really like the new Aero Fox (Black), but there is one quick thing to note, and that is anything in the menus at the top that uses a check mark (such as work offline, full screen, etc) do not have the blue mouse over effect, they still have the grey one from the previous version. Just wondering if this was on purpose?
You also forgot to theme any user added toolbars, like Del.icio.us or the web dev toolbar. They appear to be the stock FF colors, which doesn't look good w/ the silver theme or the black theme.
Your themes are amazing, but there is a little bug that make a special kind of popup unable to display.
You need to add 'scrollbar' at the bottom of the scrollbar background rules in global/scrollbars.css
It would be great if you could fix this !
Thanks
I've purchased three themes - maybe a month ago. I see that updates are available. Am I entitled to get these without buying again? If so, how do I go about getting them??
I have tried using Aero Fox (the free one from the Mozilla site) but it does not work on my machine.
It installs ok, but when I restart Firefox, the window does not show. The process does not stop responding, Task Manager lists it as running, however I am unable to ever get the Firefox window to display. Even if I close it from task manager and re-start it, I still get an unresponsive invisible Firefox.
The only way I can get round this is to start Firefox in Safe Mode and enable the default theme.
Do you have any ideas why? Is this a bug you need to fix?
Well the silence around here is deafening. I'm going back to your free silver fox theme, it looks 100x better than the new premium one.
