Persona?
No! Not that, the Firefox add-on!
In the latest update for you Firefox users out there, there’s a magical little something called Personas. What are they? In short they are a background template for Firefox, giving a customizable look to your browsing experience. You can check it out at www.getpersonas.com which is a very simple process, as long as you have the latest update (warning, if you do not have the update it will crash Firefox). Browsing their collection of user made personas is easy, mouse over the sample to ‘try it’ and if you enjoy it you can simply add it as your current persona.
I like it because it is colorful and personal, with the option of making your own if you can’t find any. Sure this is only an aesthetic addition to your browser, but it doesn’t hurt to try it out. As soon as it installs and Firefox restarts you too will be looking at a fresh new browser.
With the create your own option, you have to supply a jpg or png image that fits the header, and another for the footer, but past that it does all the work for you. In my opinion, most designs work to any degree, but shades like purple or orange can stand out too much… the one thing to remember is that any buttons or toolbars that you have will not change color or position, so it can be hard adjusting to this right away.
Short update this time, only because I wanted to get word of this out, nothing really new on my end. More to come soon though.
