    I just upgraded to Firefox 3.6 today. ; I have no idea what else might have been changed in it, I tend not to pay too much attention to the changelist, but it did add an interesting new feature known as personas.

    It's a nice, simple visual customization option that basically lets you choose from pre packaged themes that add what is essentially wallpaper for your firefox browser. ; I'm currently using "gato cinza":

    Most of it is just white, but the cat that you can see there is on the upper right corner, behind the search bar. ; It's a relatively clean style but still adds a little edge that I'm enjoying.

    But anyway, the thing is you can make your own. ; Download the persona add on (3.6 comes with persona support, but the add on seems to add extra features) and then it lets you make your own, and if you create a login at their persona site you can share yours with others.

    You guys know where I'm going with this, right? ; I'm curious what TMIP members could make of this.

    I'm going to be cautious about getting into it, this isn't just photo editing, it's visual design. ; Adding interesting detail without conflicting with the firefox UI is going to take some thought, I've never done anything like this before.
