			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello all!Â  Welcome to the beginnings of what will be a series of posts detailing the work I am currently involved in designing the default theme for Mozilla&#8217;s answer to mobile browsing, currently codenamed Fennec.</p>
<p>To start things off, I thought I&#8217;d share an example of the look and feel I&#8217;m playing around with at the moment:</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.seanmartell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fennec.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-75 alignnone" style="border: 6px solid #efefef;" title="fennec" src="http://blog.seanmartell.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/fennec.jpg" alt="A sample of icon symbols in the works for Fennec." width="450" height="249" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-74"></span></p>
<p>As you can see, so far I have been focused on creating the symbols for the buttons within the browser.  The challenge is to make &#8220;recognition at a glance&#8221; icons that will hold up on the various resolutions of any handheld device this browser may be housed on.  I&#8217;ve descided to go with what I think is a graceful solution &#8211; simply creating a &#8220;clickable&#8221; outer border in which the icon symbol sits &#8211; allowing the underlying stylings of whatever area/themed background the button sits on to shine through.</p>
<p>The top row of buttons show some of the various states used within the browser &#8211; default, disabled, pressed, active, and a solid fill colored version for alerts (will be used in various colors).</p>
<p>As for the rest of the icons, they are for various functions/sections within the browser and I will be labeling them later on in the process once we nail down what they should be used for.</p>
<p>Feel free to check in from time to time to track my progress!*</p>
<p>*note &#8211; Everything you see here is a work in progress. <img src='http://blog.seanmartell.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
