20 Top Firefox Skins for new browser From ColomboZone

Sticking with default themes and layout may not suit for all. The color and styles people love are different as some love dark themes other light ones. Last time when we made an article on Best Firefox skins, the version of Firefox was 9.0. Those old skins or themes are no more compatible or work with current stable versions. So we have remade this topic with new and updated Firefox skins you will love.

These below included skins are compatible with current stable version of Firefox ie 12.0 . I haven’t checked or know if these are good enough for Firefox 13 beta versions, its up to you to check. Hope you will enjoy these.

Firefox Skins

Simple Green 1.12

A refreshingly clean, compact theme combination for both Mozilla Firefox and its companion mailnews client, Thunderbird.

Mac OSX Theme 0.0.1b1

New tabs will look like the osx .

8 Ultimo 2.2.2

“8 Ultimo” is a theme that has been created to transform the look of Firefox (version 4 and higher) for Windows users. It has been specially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate for other platform too.

Classic Compact 4.0.10.3

Classic Compact is designed for those who want a very compact theme that minimizes vertical space consumed by menu, tool, tab, find and status bars and maximizes the space available for the browser window. This theme is one of the most compact themes available in mozilla and is highly customizable.

Rein 5.1.7

The simple theme of the color scheme of OS. It dyes to your color.

AvantGarde 5.3

“Avant-garde” is a French term, with no real English translation, that essentially means “out of the cultural or accepted norm”. Avant-garde artists and designers push the boundaries of what is known, and considered normal – and that’s what this theme is all about. It pushes the boundaries of colour, visual association, and user experience. AvantGarde 5.3 is the only theme for Firefox , which is both fun and functional in equal measure.

LavaFox V2-Purple 2.0.3

LavaFox is a dark and hot theme for Firefox fully skinned with a unified style. Animated scroll-bars, progress-bar , throbbers and custom toolbar icons with glow effect.

Afterglow 4.0.7

First version of this theme was already created in 2003 for the original Mozilla suite, after a long time in hiatus it’s now finally back for Firefox ! In addition to the original orange version you can choose now between 6 more colors: Blue, Lightblue, Darkblue, Red, Darkred and Pink.

Noia Fox 2.0.0

This theme works well with Windows XP, Windows 7, Mac OSX and Ubuntu. If you want infinite look personalizations, this theme comes with options in the add-ons manager. Compatible with both Firefox and Thunderbird.

Foxdie 10.3

This theme gives Firefox a complete mac experience with its looks but firefox tools and features still the same.

SmallringFX DARKMagenta 1.1430

The interface design of Firefox seems a bit out of date right now, so this will help for improving the interface to make it looks modern and unique rather than imitating another browsers’ design like Chrome, Safari, Opera or even IE.

Charamel 1.5.3

This theme is the further development from the legendary theme Charamel. Charamel is offered as bundle – it installs “Silvermel and Charamel XT” extension to support font uppercase and letter spacing for labels on Firefox’s sidebars.

Firefox 3 theme 2.0

Those looking for old school firefox looks then this theme will get you just that. As some people think the default Firefox theme is too ‘washed out’, this theme brings back the colorful look of the default old Firefox 3 theme.

FT Evo 3.1.0

“FT EVO”, is a Smooth theme that has been created to fully transform the look of Firefox for Windows users. As all the FT theme series it contains no added functions and it has been especially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate on XP and Linux.

Walnut2

Walnut2 is based on Walnut but with better looking wood panels. Includes support for help, inspector, downloadstatusbar, downloadmgr, calendar, quicknote, offline, toolbarext. and many other extensions.

MX3 4.1.7

Maxthon 3 like theme for Firefox. This skin is for maxthon browser fans, even though many people are unaware of it.

Littlefox 2.0.2

LittleFox, designed for optimal screen usage, leaving lots of room for browsing. For Firefox 3.0 upto version 11.a1 (incl. beta, aurora and nightlies). Includes support for many extensions.

BlackX 2.2.0

A lovely Black and White theme which is really simple.

Yogurttree 2.2.1

A colorfully fun theme.

Dark Orange Fox 13.0

This is the Orange version of Bloody Red called Dark Orange Fox.The mixture between the orange and black is cool and it is perfect for people who like dark themes.

There are many online image sharing services available including the popular ones like Flickr, Instagram, Picasa, Facebook, 500px, Photobucket etc. But these services does not have any option to transfer photos from one online service to another one. Pi.pe is an online free service which allows you to move your media files including photos and videos to another online service. The web app supports most of the popular services like 500px, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Kodak Gallery, MySpace, Photobucket, Shutterfly, Smugmug etc.

The service has a wizard like interface where you first select the source for your media files. You will be asked to login and grant permission for the app to use your media files.

In the second step, you select the albums (or photos) which you want to move to other online service. It lists out all the albums available.

The app will verify your account and check if there is enough space on the account your have selected to move the media files to.

Pi.pe is definitely a good service if you want to to move large number of media files from one service to another.

Currently the service is invite only, but you can use the invite code “getpipe” at http://pi.pe.

Upgrading to Windows 8 Release Preview from Windows 7, Vista, XP and Windows 8 From ColomboZone

Microsoft has made available the Windows 8 Release Preview for public download and this version is similar to the Release candidate of Windows 7 before the final version. As always, the first questions asked would be can I upgrade from earlier version of Windows to Windows 8 release candidate? Yes, you can upgrade to Windows 8 Release Preview from Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows Developer Preview, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP, but you might not be able to keep all of your files, programs, and settings.

Microsoft has made available a chart which details on what you can keep when you are upgrading to Windows 8 RP and this is based on your existing OS.

So if you are running Windows 7, you will be able to keep all programs, Windows settings and user account files.

If you create installation media, start your PC from the media, and then install Windows 8 Release Preview, you won’t be able to keep your files, programs, or settings. To keep files, programs, or settings you need to install Windows 8 Release Preview by starting your installation from within Windows.

Facebook launches Mideast office in Dubai

Facebook Inc. launched its first office in the Arab world Wednesday, aiming to drum up new advertising business from Dubai as investors fret over its struggling share price.

The online meet-up site and other social networking tools were instrumental in connecting activists during the wave of protests and revolutions that reverberated across the region last year.

But Joanna Shields, Facebook’s vice president and managing director for Europe, the Mideast and Africa, said the decision to lay down roots in the region was purely commercial.

“People on Facebook … use it to organize rallies for all kinds of elections around the world,” she said. “We’re humbled by that and we are happy that we can facilitate. But we always downplay the (site’s) role because it’s really the people there who came together and did what they did.”

The office is starting with three employees in Dubai’s Internet City, a business park popular with tech firms including Microsoft Corp.and Google Inc.

Facebook’s website lists some 30 offices globally.

The aim is to attract more ad sales by targeting the 45 million users that Facebook says it has across the Middle East and North Africa.

Executives declined to say how much revenue the region currently generates or what their goals are for the future.

In 2010, Facebook teamed with Cairo-based advertising company Connect Ads to better reach advertisers in the region.

Jonathan Labin, who will lead the Dubai office, said existing advertisers in the region include Dubai-based Emirates, the region’s biggest airline.

The Dubai launch follows Facebook’s May 18 initial public offering at $38 a share, one of the most anticipated stock debuts in history.

The stock had lost 24 percent of its value ahead of the Dubai launch, which was held in the plush Armani Hotel at the base of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper.

While the share’s gyrations are a hot topic on Wall Street, Shields said Facebook employees are not fixated on reports about the stock’s slide.

“I don’t even listen to it, to be honest … because I’ve got a job to do,” she said. “I think we’re just getting on with it.”

Lightest Ultrabook on the Planet? Gigabyte Unveils X11 Carbon Fiber Laptop

When you’re down to fighting over tenths of a pound, claims of “world’s lightest” are more about marketing than utility, but Gigabyte’s X11 appears to fit the company’s billing as such: Gigabyte just confirmed its 11.6-inch MacBook Air-lookalike exists and weighs just 975 grams, or about 2.15 pounds. Contrast with Dell’s top-selling XPS 13 Ultrabook, which weighs about three pounds.

Gigabyte teased the new laptop last week with a promo slide that read “Launch of the Lightest Notebook on Earth” followed by “Conquer the 6th Element” and a launch date of today, May 31. No, not The Sixth Element (a 2006 surfing film/documentary, according to Wikipedia) but the periodic table’s sixth-in-position, i.e. carbon, referring in this case to carbon fiber, an ultra-strong, lightweight material I’m mostly familiar with from when I used to cycle semi-competitively back in the early 1990s and forked over a boatload of cash to buy a road bike made from the material.

Of course Gigabyte then dated themselves by writing “Thus, we have discovered the 6th element.” A little late Gigabyte: Other Ultrabooks, including Dell’s XPS 13, already use carbon fiber, and boutique PC-maker Voodoo PC was building lightweight laptops wholly from carbon fiber back in the mid-aughts (I know, because I owned one). The X11′s also fully carbon fiber, save for the hinge, which is aluminum. Gigabyte touts the strength of carbon fiber as “6 times stronger than that of an aluminum notebook,” though there’s debate about which material is more durable in specific circumstances — some in fact argue that aluminum is the more durable material, especially when heated.

Spec-wise, the 11.6-inch X11 is as thin as it looks: 0.12 inches at its tapered front, 0.65-inches at the back. It sports an unidentified “3rd generation Intel Core” processor (Ivy Bridge), 4GB of DDR3 memory, 128GB solid state hard drive, a Mobile Intel HM77 Express chipset with Intel HD Graphics 4000 (according to Engadget), 1366 x 768 pixel LED, 1.3 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, one USB 2.0 and a second 3.0 port, microSD slot, audio in/out and a mini-display port. Interestingly, Gigabyte is touting the X11′s sound playback capabilities — anemic in most laptops this size — as “rich” and “large” thanks to “the large resonator and large diaphragm monomer in the extremely thin chassis.” (We’ll see about that.) You’ll also get a 4730mAh Li-ion sealed battery and a low-key, Apple-style keyboard. Gigabyte says the X11 will range in price from $999 to $1,299 and be “on the market” in July.

The company also announced two other products: The U2442, a lightweight notebook weighing 3.5 pounds with more powerful Ivy Bridge-based processors ($999 to $1,299, on the market in mid-June) and the U2440 notebook, a “light and thin” system that’ll also pack Ivy Bridge as well as discrete NVIDIA graphics (from $699, on the market by the end of June).
