New version out. No major changes except that this version is not compatible with beta 5, it requires the just-released Release Candidate 1 or a nightly.
Here’s a list of changes:
- CSS updated for changes introduced in the new Firefox builds.
- Minor CSS tweaks for better compatibility with the Speed dial add-on.
- Added support for third-party master themes. No documentation on this feature yet; I’ll document it and offer a sample add-on that installs an alternative master theme soon.
- Focus outline was made a bit thicker (and better).
- After testing AnyColor on Linux, I marked it as Windows-only. It did work on Linux but it didn’t look good because of the huge differences in Firefox’s default theme. I haven’t been able to test it on Vista yet (hope it’s OK) and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to test it on a Mac.

AnyColor is a fantastic add-on.
There has been a demand for this sort of feature/add-on for a few years now.
Any chance that you could integrate a feature to change the themes font size.
Perhaps you could use this that does just that.
http://www.accessfirefox.org/Metal_Lion_HiViz_300.php
It allows a person to change Firefox’s font size for the browser interface.
The combination of that plus AnyColor would be a great accessibility add-on for persons with visual impairments.

Sorry for the late reply but I’ve been away.

Are there plans for an update for the new version of Firefox that went out today? If not, do you know of a way to update the validated versions of Firefox for Anycolor so it will work with 3.1?

Rabscutle: I’ve just finished uploading a new version, 0.2.0. It should appear on addons.mozilla.org shortly.

I’ve tested AnyColor 0.2.0 on Firefox 3 / Mac OS X, and here are the results:

Thanks for testing it on a Mac, Peter.
It’s not good but it makes sense, the classic Mac theme is very different from the others.
