HACKS
Spice up your Cats with a few hacks - just add the respective code to your userChrome.css and restart Firefox. Note that the code should go BEFORE any other text you may find inside userChrome.css or it won't do the trick. Alternatively, use Stylish. Install the extension, click on the icon -> Write New Style -> Blank Style -> copy and paste the code.
Hack previews are available on the support forum.
1. Tabs on the bottom (Red Cats 5.8.0+)
Depending on whether your Bookmarks toolbar is hidden or shown, choose one of the two hacks in each pair.
2. Tabs on the bottom (old version, Red Cats 5.7.0).
Deprecated! Only for Red Cats 5.7.0. Do not use any of these if you're running Red Cats 5.8.0 and up.

NOTES
- If you're using Firefox 2.x - 3.5.x., install version 4.2.4 of Red Cats.
- As of Firefox 3.6 beta, you cannot use Personas with 3rd party themes - switching to the default one is the only option. This is a Firefox limitation and it has nothing to do with the Red Cats theme.
