CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

We admire this free extension for its unique design, but form definitely does not equal function with this Firefox theme.

RedShift V2 RC1 replaces your current browser theme with a black and red color scheme. The toolbar features a black background. The navigational buttons also are black, with red highlighting the symbol and outline of each button. We're guessing the red is supposed to make the buttons more readable, but it doesn't seem to help. The drop-down menus and sidebar are at least a little more readable because they feature white text on a black background, but they still don't make up for the rest of the browser interface.

This Firefox theme is too hard on the eyes. It's free if you want to try it, but we're guessing that most will tire of it pretty quickly.

Publisher's Description

From C. Nicks:

Re-coded from the ground up, Shift V2 is the perfect theme for those who like their browsing experience dark yet demand that it remain fully functional and accessible. The dark theme that spawned an unexpectedly loyal following just grew up and now stands on its own. Re-coded from the ground up, Shift V2 is the perfect theme for those who like their browsing experience dark yet demand that it remain fully functional and accessible. Every element of the browser stays true to the dark vision of the Shift theme, while ensuring text and browser elements are all highly visible. New icons and a unique tab presentation introduce a new twist on an old favorite. If you've been looking for a dark theme that truly works, try Shift V2.

What's new in this version: This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
