Customize your Firefox install with Personas

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I’ve just stumbled on a cool new plugin for firefox from the folks over at mozilla labs. Personas lets you theme your firefox with a wide array of different styles (see the screen shot). I’m sure there is a way to make your own, but I haven’t gotten that far yet.

I’m a customization nerd, so any chance to tweak and mix up my everyday apps is a good thing.

Download it here.

Also if you haven’t already you should definately get hooked up with the coolest add on so far, Ubiquity. You can get a run down of what it can do on lifehacker.picture-1

Web Design+ Tips and advice on web standards development

Web Design+ — Tips and advice on web standards development. via CSSBeauty.

This is a great resource for getting around some troublesome areas around web design. A lot of the information here also relates to best practices and details what works and what doesn’t and why. If I find a part of a page particularly tricky to accomplish to solve with css, I usually resort to jQuery, which works, but could potentially be limiting to some people.

This list of essentially dos and don’ts is the perfect resource for anybody creating a template, or converting a design to actual markup. A few of the resources I employ are the Yahoo YUI Reset css sheet, 960.css for grid designs, and a starter CSS sheet that I generaly use for all designs across the board. This page covers a few tricks that will definately be going into my bag of tricks.
