Ubuntu Radiance/Ambiance Firefox Personas

Having just reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 I couldn't help but notice how "un-integrated" Firefox looks in the default set up. Default Look Whilst the default set-up doesn't look bad per se, it can easily look a lot better with the aid of some 'one click' Firefox Persona themes.

Dust Persona For Firefox

I feel like I've written far to many eye-candy related posts today, so i'll finish on a good one.

This a dust persona for Firefox that matches up with the Dust GTK theme. No extra themes to install, no extra faff. It was created by Filipe Aguia and it's awesome stuff!

If Dust ain't your scene, I previously blogged about a NewWave GTK theme persona here.

NewWave Firefox Themes

I've blogged previously about the Dust Firefox theme that seamlessly marries Firefox with the Dust GTK theme.

Now it's the turn of NewWave!

Version One - NewWave Firefox Theme
There is an official NewWave Firefox theme available that matches the widget set of NewWave. It's very sleek and a great choice if you're looking for something less "flashy".

Version Two - DarkLight Persona
If you use Persona's for Firefox then using the DarkLight theme will match the NewWave theme exceptionally well. I much prefer this 'look' as it resembles the new Firefox for Linux UI designs in many places.

Note: I am also using the meerket extension. This frees up wasted space and moves the main menu bar to the right-hand side.
