SphereGnome is a theme for the Firefox browser. It was developed for the Phoenix browser (the predescessor of Firefox) by Ken Lynch from original icons by Vadim Plessky. I liked the theme so much that I took over maintaining and developing it when Ken became overwhelmed by other events.

SphereGnome is a cool theme with pleasant colors. The buttons light up when you pass over them, and change color or change picture when you click on them. The icons are 24x22 and 32x32, making the theme usable for higher-resolution displays. It is also scalable, so if you set your system font to 125% or even 200%, SphereGnome will expand with it. To get the history of pages visited, right-click on forward or back arrow.

INSTALLING A THEME from disk:

Download a copy of the theme's file (it ends in the extension .jar) to your harddrive. Then open Tools > Themes and drag the jar file to the left pane of the Themes window. Click on Yes, and your copy of the theme will be installed in Firefox.


IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE INSTALLING A THEME:

Uninstall your old version of the theme before trying to uninstall the new version. All of the 1.0.3 versions require uninstalling the old version before you install a new version. All of the 1.0.8 versions require uninstalling the old version before you install a new version.

Uninstall the old version, then close the browser. Reopen the browser. Now install the new version.

For 1.0.8 versions:  If you forget and install the new version without getting rid of the new one, just Do a control-alt-delete in Windows (or similar process in Linux or Mac) and close the program that way. When you reopen the browser it will be OK. At that point you can use the theme normally.

I had to change the architecture of the themes, and Firefox will look at its cached theme version until it is closed. The new and old versions conflict, so the confusion hangs Firefox. But the problem is only temporary. As I note above, just shut Firefox down. The next time it opens it will be OK.
