Noia 4 A Beautiful Firefox Theme

One of the great things about Firefox is all the extensions you can add. Among these are the various themes that change the look of the browser. Instead of having to look at what they decide it should look like, you can add a theme that gives it a more personal look.

There are dark themes, really dark themes, themes designed to look like the OS, or a different OS, & several that change the color scheme dramatically.

In the past I have use themes that didn't change it much. I also used a theme called "Oskar", which was one of the most outrageous ones out there. It was animated. This meant that the arrows flashed, they were moving dots & other things. It was a really cool theme. Of course it isn't compatible with Firefox 7, or 6, or who knows what.

So I'm using a theme called "Noia 4". It's a light blue theme. These means the toolbars are in that color as are the arrows. Since I have an 18½" monitor, I have the bookmark sidebar opened for easy access. With this theme, that's also in light blue. It changes the look of Firefox for the better. It's not overdone, like the dark themes can be, & extensions on the status bar are visible, which isn't always the case. The home button is kind of cute. All & all, a nice little theme.

I thought of adding a persona. But the problem with those are that depending how many tabs are open, or even if you have the bookmark toolbar, that persona's theme is not visible. So I may do without. But themes are nice to have, it's one thing Firefox has over other browsers.
