If you're a Firefox user, you may have heard of Personas. Personas is an add-on for firefox that allows you to dress up your browser a little, without having to change all your buttons and so on.... they're cut down themes, if you like.
Example, in general I am now using the "Fire Fox Grau Blau" persona which looks like this....

....which is pretty cool. Now... say you're a CricketMX freak and you so much love it here that you want to see the pretty colour scheme the whole time...
Now you can, using this rather nifty new CricketMX Persona... which looks like this...

If you'd like your own CMX Persona, you'll need to be running either Firefox 3.6 (which has Persona support as default) or the Personas add-on, which you can get here.
The CMX Persona I've just showed you can be found here.
Have fun.

That's really great Rat! :D

I don't use Firefox, but I do have a copy on my old laptop which I pull out every now and then. Next time I do I'll be sure to try out your persona :D

Personas certainly is a great idea to break up the boring single background colour. So many to choose from as well. I've set mine to the Firefox logo. :)

Woohoo! England out of the World Cup! I'm surprised we got as far as knockout round. Apart from being robbed of a goal in the match against Germany (like to see them go all the way), England's performance was dire. :(

Back to FF persona....

I'd read a quote from someone sharing your view Mr Happy...
They are so bad, they couldn't even get a gig playing in a vuvuzela band!
