Hello!

I don't know if anybody has found this yet, but this is a really nice way to spice up the look of Firefox (Without having to install themes)

http://personas.services.mozilla.com/

At the moment the service is currently still in it's early stages, so there are some bugs. But its good non the less!

Here are some of my own little creations [/shameless plug]

Some screens of the service:

There are some nice designs to choose from in the gallery. Once the persona app is installed, all you have to do is mouseover the design you want... and that will install it.

All a design consists of is a header and footer image.

Very cool! I can't believe how easy it is to use too, it's nice that you just have to download the one thing to make it work. I'm using Cubic Flow right now and it looks great. Nice work and good find.

That is pretty nifty. Though I think I prefer my Mario theme.

I'm afraid I don't get it. How is this fundamentally different to normal themes?

Well the persona is just a background change. No changes are made to the UI. The themes change a lot more than that (see Josh's theme )

As dab said, its just a header and footer image. Nothing major is changed to your UI. The themes don't require an install either.
