256-color themes for Mozilla/Firefox

If you're an avid Mozilla/Firefox user and you also use Windows 2000 Terminal Services, you'll have noticed that a lot of the Mozilla/Firefox themes look horrid in a 256 color session. You might also run into this if you're doing remote control of other PCs and you've limited the display to 256 colors to save on bandwidth.

The following themes seem to work well for 256-color terminal services sessions:

708090 1.4 By Roland Buehlmann
708090-lite 1.4 By Roland Buehlmann
GrayModern 0.5.1 By Bernie Zimmermann

Two other possibilities are called "Okhotska" and "Bluestreak", but I don't have links to them at the moment.

Call of Duty Screenshots (multi-player)

Dawnville (Team Deathmatch)
This was something to see, there were around 18 players per team on this server (talk about a lagfest). The allies are flanking in from the right side (along the train tracks) and over-running the axis positions along the wall / road on the left side. It was a pretty well coordinated attack that quickly put the axis team on the run.



Pavlov (Team Deathmatch)
Same server, different game, I was trying out different video settings to see how well my framerate held up under intense fights (40+ players, lots of explosions, bullets and corpses).



Depot (Team Deathmatch)
The "Depot" map isn't really one of my favorites. It's rather small, somewhat constricted, and there are a ton of spots where you have to have eyes in the top and the back of your head. Having 40+ players in it really makes it seem crowded, and a well placed grenade can take out half a dozen players.
