Personas for Firefox

OK this is a tip that you can do at your own risk. My box is definitely different than most boxes and what works for me just may not work for you. So...

My only problem with Fk2b1 is the theme. I hate it I like Dark and my FIrefox 3 theme is NASA Night Launch so that should tell you something about my tastes in themeing. Dark and simple. With that it mind I've been hunting for themes for Flock. No luck with this single exception. Over at Mozilla Labs I discovered Personas for Firefox.

I've made a lot of tweaks in the about:config section of the browser but this add on doesn't use that but rather makes direct changes to the chrome so you see the new 'theme' right away without restarting Flock. It isn't exactly a theme, per se, but please go to the above url and check it out if you want to know more about changing the looks of Flock to something a lot more fun than just the default.

Perhaps this summer I'll get a chance to port a few themes from Firefox 3 to Flock. really, the only one I want to port is NASA Night Launch so I'll probably do that for my own usage.

Again I've made many changes in the about:config section of the browser primarily for speed and ease of operations. I'll have to collate a single file from the many .txt files I've made on this process but after that is done I'd be willing to share this crucial information.

So if you think your browser is up to your par than give Personas for Firefox a try. I don't think you'll regret it. ;)

Mostly...have fun. Good luck.

I have Nasa theme on my Flock (without the searchbar problem)
Disabled "awesomebar" (revert to old FF2/Flock1.2 behavior)
And like u, did some tweaks for ease of use and performance. :)
