Harley Davidson Firefox theme released

I'm making a Harley Davidson Firefox theme. The help I need is making a background that is in focus.
this is the background that I used - I need a new one - http://www.quickbase.com/up/8q9jbnau/g/rbkz/eg/va/F.png


......you've been riding the INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY for days now. The wind from your fans are blowing your hair back and there's grit on your teeth from last night's supper. Things to avoid - Hijackers, spyware,, pop-ups and potholes. But you're ok with that. You're secure. Your ride of choice? The Harley Davidson Firefox web browser

(of course I can't use the name - that's one legal department I would not want to mess with)

Buttons will be jet black (safari type) with orange image insert and toolbar flames will be in focus - and possible chrome url and search fields.

It's gorgeous LK...PLEASE let me know when it's done...Do you really think that HD would mind you putting together a Theme? Heck, They might even link to it from their official site!!

All it needs is a black custom 2001 Night Train Desktop pic to go along with it!

I'd like to get a wallpaper of a chopper from Orange county choppers (you know, those guys on TV?)- maybe with orange flames. **edit - these guys are the best: http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/choppers.php

Here's an update (url and search field have been change from this point):

That does look really nice Tinker but i'm thinking of the more traditional type flames like you see in the top of the bar on the right side - but crisp and sharp for toolbar. Here is your background in action: http://www.quickbase.com/up/8q9jbnau...ackground2.PNG

Theme available at my site now.

Issues/bugs:

1. need better flame background
2. properties dialog, other dialog, options panel - some black on black text
2. need to make bookmark manager icons

Maybe some of you can help me to fix the bugs.

Thanks, I think the throbber looks better on the left side - but i'll have to get used to it being there as I usually place it on the right.

I like both of them, but hopefully you'll find a way to work the flames back in on the HD.
