Firefox and Opera Skins for Max Screen Real Estate

A Mashable article from a couple days ago highlighted 30 nifty Firefox skins. I tend to stick to Opera, but I’m always on the lookout for interesting Firefox tools and skins since I know so many folks who are really into customizing their Firefox install.
Of the 30 listed skins in the Mashable writeup, my favorite has to be Littlefox for Firefox. It’s actually the closest I’ve seen thus far to my current Opera skin, Breeze II. The reason I like both skins is their extremely compact and efficient natures.
Despite having a pretty nice widescreen display, I like having as much window space as humanly possible while browsing. By reducing the GUI interface on the browser down to only the minimum necessary, the viewport for the web is maximized. Which is actually immensely helpful in a widescreen setting, since most sites are designed for viewports that are taller than they are wide rather than vice-versa.
Incidentally, if anyone can help me figure out how to get my panel display to look like the one shown at the Breeze skin creator’s site, please let me know. I’ve poked around and haven’t found anything like what they’re talking about.
Dig thenks for link on themes :) Good like!
Great post. I kind of agree but only in certain instances.
