Firefox Form Widgets is a replacement for the default form widgets in Firefox. Its not dependent upon KDE, but I styled it with KDE in mind. The CSS is modified from the default one. I created all but the radio and checkbox images, which were created by the Pretty Widgets for OS X (readme included).

The style is such that everything can still be styled by a website. For the buttons, if only a background color is supplied, the gradient is still applied making it look better.

I made this for my personal use, but I decided to distribute it in case people want it. I would like to put some more work into it if there is interest.

To install, download and then:

sudo cp -r /usr/lib/firefox/res/ /usr/lib/firefox/res_original
tar -xvvzf KDEwidgets.tar.gz
sudo mv ./KDEwidgets/* /usr/lib/firefox/res/
