Hi all, about time for a progress report, I think. 
I had been quietly shadowing the changes in the Firefox 3 betas since around February this year and although the required changes were somewhat complex (mainly because I wished to retain the original FF2 look of my themes) the job progressed well and by May, all were 95% complete, with the single exception of Aluminium Kai 2, which is around 65% complete. In fact, things were so well in hand, I found time to do a quick new native style theme for Firefox 3 - Metal Lion Andromeda, as an experiment for some new techniques.
The original plan was to then incorporate any final Firefox 3 changes and bring out all the Metal Lion theme updates for Firefox 3, a month after the official release (17th June).
However, pressing personal matters intervened and I was 'out of action' themewise for the whole of July and August. As you can all appreciate, things like that take total priority.
So, the new schedule. Well, the key template theme is now completely finished and the required changes have all been carefully documented and will soon now be rippled through the rest. In addition, a new version of ML Andromeda is ready, which gives multi row tabs when using TMP. So, all slowly getting back on track.
Yes, the delay may well be quite tiresome for some of you, but nowhere near as damn tiresome as the responsibilities of real life can be from time to time. Still, all back to normal now.
I'm sure that many of you have experienced similar. To those who have not - you will.
All the best,
Frank
