The
Aluminium Kai 2 theme combines a simple, relaxing elegance with full
functionality throughout.
The theme was
originally developed by Netscape, then developed for the Firefox
platform by Kozakura Inko, and finally officially adopted by me over 3
years ago. Since adoption, Aluminium Kai 2 has been improved with many
new images, backgrounds and areas of interest being created for it and
has undergone a complete code engine rewrite to improve functionality
and appearance.
Many of the icons and graphics
used in this theme are designed, created, made and copyrighted to Frank
Lion, details upon request. Theme Preview and Downloads picture -

4. MAJOR recoding of the
entire tab coding seen in the browser area. The tabs will look just the
same, but needed this as : a.) AK2 was not going to version to Firefox
3 the way the tab code was. b.) AK2 was incompatible with my new HiViz
extension for the visually disabled*. c.) Less importantly, the tab
coding differences between AK2 and all my other ML themes, made working
on AK2 harder than it needed to be. This recode has been thoroughly
bugtested, including with Tab Mix Plus. However, if you do spot
something we missed then please report it on my website.
5.
AK2 is no longer compatible with Firefox 1.5 versions.
*In
a number of updates recently, I have mentioned the Metal Lion HiViz
extension. When testing with other themes is complete, it is my
intention for this to be a standalone extension. For the time being, it
is packaged with Metal Lion 300 (chosen by visually disabled users) as
a known working theme, as is the default theme and can be found here :
