Re: [Ayatana] Persona for firefox.



Personas in the context of Firefox are lightweight themes, more specifically.  They do not require a browser restart to try them or apply them.  At http://www.getpersonas.com/ one can try out personas just by hovering over the preview image.

I've recently tried a few personas meant to coordinate with my Ubuntu theme (i.e. Ambiance, Radiance, Element), however I found in each case that I preferred Firefox's default, GTK theme-inherited appearance.

Charline,

A persona is indeed that in most cases. However, Firefox has co-opted
the term "persona" to mean a graphical theme for their browser. I, for
example, am using the Ubuntu Ambience persona
(http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/138995 ) to style Firefox 4.0
to look like the rest of my Ubuntu desktop.

"Ambiance" that is, but the author of the theme is responsible for the typo..
