This software summary describes a Firefox theme that highlights NCSA Mosaic. The theme is an add-on for Firefox and provides the look and feel of the original Mosaic browser. It is designed for users who want to experience the nostalgia of the early days of the internet.
It is notable that NCSA Mosaic laid the foundation for modern browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer, which means that the traits and design aspects of Mosaic have trickled down to almost all major web browsers we use today.
Mosaic Fox has been developed with the primary aim to emulate the look and feel of NCSA Mosaic as it operated on Windows 3.1/95. The theme uses internal icons of Windows 3.1 as well as Mosaic 2 and 3 and Spry Air Mosaic's main toolbar and Library icons.
The large icons mode of Mosaic Fox showcases the same size icons utilized in Mosaic 1 and 2 for Windows, whereas small icons mode displays the icons in the size they appeared in Mosaic 3 for Windows. This interesting interplay of elements is bound to transport users back in time to the heyday of browsing the web with Mosaic.
In summary, Mosaic Fox is a great theme for Firefox users who appreciate the legacy of NCSA Mosaic and its pioneering graphical web browsing legacy.
