Not completely off topic as you need gimp to make the themes :D

I just found this Chrome app to make your own Chrome theme. :bigthup
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... llgombffc#

I couldn't find a theme that was to my liking. I like to keep it simple, but just black is a bit boring. So I gave making a theme myself a shot. Think I still have a lot to learn. The fine tuning was a bit confusing, but it was fun.

So here's my very simple theme. Image

p.s. If anyone happens to want to use it, just say so. I'll give you the theme file.

But obviously it's more fun to make your own unique theme. :mrgreen:


For how to make your own Firefox themes see post 3. :)

Yes, there sort of is.

Not as complete as this theme maker but you can make your own personas on firefox. It's really easy and you can upload them for anyone to use. I've made a few a while ago. I'll see if I can find them later. :)

You have to use the default theme in order for it to work.

Here are all the personas.

Here are the instructions on how to create them.

You have to install the plug-in to the left. A green button.

I found mine. Nothing special. :hehe

Should change the title to include firefox personas.

Cool! Make a screenshot of your firefox when you're done so we can all admire it. :mrgreen:

That too. You can make your own account and become famous for your art. ;)

With a screenshot you can show of what it looks like to those who don't have firefox installed.

I knew you can make them for FF but I didn't know you could make them for Chrome. Thanks.
