Feeling a little blue? Google can too, thanks to this user style!
The Google Web Search - dark blue redesign (vC) user style adds a ‘bit of blue to the otherwise white and bland Google background. To use this style, you will need to install the Stylish extension for Firefox. Also as the designer points out on the page, this style only works for google.com. To make it work for other countries, use a plain text editor to search for “google.com” and replace all occurrences with “google.co.uk” or whatever you use.

Every day it seems as if we are getting more theme jewels back for Firefox 3 that we previously had on Firefox 2. One of the most popular out there of all the Firefox themes would be the Phoenity series which is now back for Firefox 3 with Phoenity Reborn.
As you can see - it does sport the new Firefox 3 keyhole backwards and forwards as well as some of your other favorite icons from the series. Totally ready for all the new enhancements for Firefox 3 this is one theme you can’t miss out on if you are trying out RC1 (and up) of the browser.
You can download Phoenity Reborn from the Mozilla Add-ons web site.

Firefox Personas is back! I’ve seen a handful of blogs covering this re-launch I guess you could call it all weekend long. It is an awesome project and I am happy to see it is getting a little more time in the sun. Personas are lightweight designs that “skin” the Firefox web browser. Delivered as a web service, the menu interface and the Persona designs are exceptionally dynamic, and should allow for a wide range of interesting possibilities.
Here are a couple of points that make Personas a winner:
- You can select a Persona from the dynamic menus and see results instantly without having to discover, select, download or install a separate bit of software or code.
- Personas can be added, removed or updated by their designers at any time, without requiring a software update.
Personas = Future of Firefox?
The bigger idea behind Personas though that I think Mozilla is really looking at is generating a part of the browser from the Web. The Persona selector is dynamically loaded and populated from a JSON feed and all designs are loaded via URLs to remote resources.
I have to think that they would love to be able to deliver more content, tools and services this way. With that said is Personas really a preview of Firefox 4 (maybe Firefox 5) or is it just a neat tool to change your browser look and feel of your browser?
Another point worth bringing up is it does work with a handful of other Firefox themes out there (other than Firefox’s default theme). To get an example of this go download the Cylence Theme : Emerald Variation. If Personas grow in popularity theme designers might want start taking note if their theme works with Personas or not.

Remember when I told you last week how to install themes from new sources? Well I have yet another cool looking theme you can practice that on. The Pinstripe 2.2 theme for Firefox by tanjihay over at DeviantArt.com.
Sure it has that “Apple-like” flavor, but even Windows or Linux users can pretend right? Trying my best to forget about the Appleness myself and just keep telling myself it is a cool brushed-metal looking theme. Over and over… till those dreams of Steve Jobs touching my Firefox goes away.

Purple, wacky but some-what purdy the ToonSkin theme for Firefox has a little ‘bit of something for everybody to enjoy. Been playing around with this one this morning, and have to say it is pretty nice. It’s a fully functional theme with a purple tint and a nice mix of Windows and Apple design techniques.
The only thing I wish is that it dealt a little better with having the toolbars in different places. If your toolbar area is customized at all - it kind of breaks the theme. Other than that though, I would give it three Firefox fanboys out of five.

I have never run across a Firefox theme with buttons that were this big till now.
The Kempelton Large theme for Firefox delivers in the big button department for sure. You can still get a little ‘bit smaller icons if you go with the ‘Use Small Icons’ option when using this theme. Use the standard Kempelton theme instead if you want a more typical icon size.
Do you like the big buttons?

Now it is no secret that I have been a big fan of the “cylence” series of themes for a long time now. I just got word though that a new one has been released. The new Amethyst version of the Cylence line of themes now gives you that traditional look but all flavored with just a touch of purple.
If you want your Firefox surfing to be laced with a touch of class, go give Amethyst a look. I promise it is worth it.
