Best Firefox Themes

All Things Appy: 5 Best Firefox Themes
If you're a daily Internet user, there's a good chance that you're also a daily Internet browser user. If your choice is Firefox, you may be tired of its look -- it hasn't changed much recently.
However, Firefox allows you to customize its background look with more than 300,000 themes. Plus, with complete themes, a more in-depth form of theme, you can separately personalize the address bar, buttons, menu, tabs and window frame.
Following are the five best free mods you can perform on your Firefox browser.

About the Environment

Themes and Complete Themes are downloaded from the Add-ons page within Firefox.
Look for the Featured Themes panel and click on See All to browse themes. Or use the search box to search for themes.


No. 1: Dark Fox

Dark Fox has 5 stars out of 5 from 100 user reviews in Firefox's Add-ons library. It has 207,535 daily users.

Dark Fox, from Randomaster, is one of the most popular Firefox themes. It's simply a very fast-installing, dark version of the Firefox menu bar, top banner and logo. A dark theme allows for a less garish blast of screen light when viewing Web pages at night.
Be aware that you need to be viewing websites with dark page backgrounds to take full advantage of the effect.


No. 2: FT DeepDark

FT DeepDark from Steva has 5 stars out of 5 from 328 user reviews in Firefox's Add-ons library. The add-on has a total of 214,266 users.
DeepDark is similar in concept to Dark Fox -- it provides for black webpage surrounds.

However, it's what Firefox publisher Mozilla calls a calls a "complete theme" and thus requires a more time-consuming download and browser restart than a normal theme, such as our No. 2 choice, Dark Fox.
DeepDark heavily blackens more of the Firefox browser than Dark Fox. Again, visit black-backgrounded webpages for the best effect.


No. 3: Simple White

Simple White has 5 stars out of 5 from 83 user reviews in Firefox's Add-ons library. It has a total of 17,503 users.

Our No. 3 selection is the antithesis of the first two blackened themes. The Apple-esque Simple White theme by Louis Chan is equally minimalist, although as you might expect from its name, it's predominantly white -- and supremely elegant.

Gorgeously thin black lines define the white browser address bar and search box and are a pleasure to view. Using a sybaritic theme like this will make you want never to go back to clunky-old Firefox default.


No. 4: Walnut for Firefox

Walnut for Firefox has 5 stars out of 5 from 194 user reviews in Firefox's Add-ons library. It has a total of 55,546 users.

If you ever feel like technology is taking over your life, here's the antidote. Alfredkayser's Walnut for Firefox is a wooden-themed rendition. This theme skins Firefox with a grainy wooden box-like look.

The address bar and search box appear carved into the screen rendered by a subtle shadow effect. There's nothing half-hearted in this theme and a lot of work has gone into the detailed, textured graphics.


No. 5: Noia Fox

Noia Fox by David.Vincent has 5 stars out of 5 from 83 user reviews in Firefox's Add-ons library. It has a total of 105,091 users.

Noia Fox is an accessibility-oriented theme and is great for those with visual requirements.
Buttons are colorful, and a default grey theme reduces tiredness in the eyes.
Customizing options are unfortunately a bit unintuitive and tricky to find -- they're in the Extensions area of the Add-Ons Manager, not Appearance, by the way. We give it a downgrade because of that.

 BEIJING: Lenovo, the world's biggest maker of personal computers, has hired former Nokia and Huawei executive Colin Giles as vice president of its Mobile Business Group, the firm said on Thursday. 

 "Colin Giles will be taking on the role to drive global smartphone sales and business development outside of China," Lenovo, also the world's fourth-largest smartphone vendor, said in an e-mail to Reuters. 


 Giles will report to Liu Jun, president of Lenovo's Mobile Business Group. Giles joined Huawei as executive vice president of its Consumer Business Group last July, after leaving Nokia in 2012. 

 Lenovo, which announced its annual results on Wednesday, is expanding overseas and increasing its smartphone push. It is looking to sell 80 million smartphone units in the coming year and offset weak growth in China, the firm's largest market.

Microsoft Boldly Goes Bigger With Surface Pro 3


      Microsoft on Tuesday unveiled its latest iteration of the Surface tablet at a New York City event. The Surface Pro 3 is slightly larger, with a screen size of 12 inches diagonally, instead of the 10.6 inches of previous models. It is also thinner, at 0.36 inches, and weighs a mere two pounds.
Surface Pro 3
The Surface Pro 3 will sport such business-essential software as Photoshop, which has been adapted to be compatible with the device's hardware.
Its chief selling point, though, is the Surface Pro 3's ability to serve as both a laptop and a tablet, Microsoft said.
Users can write on it with a pen like they would with an old-school pad and pen; they can secure it on their laps to work while en route to a meeting; or they can use it as they would a laptop.
To that end, Microsoft made a number of tweaks, including upgrading the kickstand so it can accommodate a range of angles, all the way back to 150 degrees. Earlier iterations only offered the user two different slants.
It is also offering an updated cover that is thinner to protect the screen. Finally, the keyboard has an improved trackpad.

A Potent Argument

For business users, these tweaks could add up to a potent argument to make the shift to a Surface Pro.
"I can't tell you how long I have wanted a device that would keep me from having to carry around both a tablet and a laptop," said Roy Chomko, president of Adage Technologies.
Chomko has been using Microsoft's products for years, and just weeks ago he acquired a Lenovo Yoga 2 (11 inch).
He likes his new device but predicted the Surface Pro 3 will make even deeper inroads into the enterprise.
"The new form factor is bigger, and I think business people want that so they can use it on the train, for example, or in an airport, comfortably," he told TechNewsWorld.
The new kickstand means it can be better incorporated into an office setting, he added.
Pricing for the Surface Pro 3 line, which will include five models, begins at US$799. The entry-level version will have 64 GB of storage, 4 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i3 processor.
The top model will market for $1,949 and come with 512 GB of storage, an Intel Core i7 processor and 8 GB of RAM.

'Good Specs'

The specs are great, Laura DiDio, principal of ITIC, told TechNewsWorld. "They fit with what business users want -- a lighter, more agile and more powerful mobile device."
That said, it is by no means certain that the Surface Pro 3 will be any more popular than its older siblings have been.
The first Surface was introduced with a splash in 2012, but it went on to post lackluster sales.
The second model came out last October and received an equally tepid market reception.
"Microsoft's issue is more one of perception than any actual product lack," Didio said. "Also, they are fighting an increasingly crowded market."
Microsoft made much of the Surface Pro 3's ability to go head to head with the MacBook Air during the demo, but that might have been a waste of time, DiDio suggested. "Microsoft just doesn't have the same cachet as Apple."

Undeserved Rep, Big Risk

Microsoft has gotten something of a bad rap for its hardware, and in the case of the Surface, it isn't deserved, Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT, told TechNewsWorld.
"Obviously, the Surface has not performed as well as Microsoft had hoped it would," he said.
Microsoft is taking something of a risk with this design, King added. "Not everyone thinks bigger is better for a tablet," he noted.
On the other hand, "maybe the market does need a new approach or style," King said.
Is the Surface Pro 3 different enough from other products to make a difference?
"You can argue form factor differences and so on, but a two-pound, 12-inch Surface Pro looks a lot like many Ultrabooks out there," King said.
"Boldness comes at a price," he noted, "and with this device, Microsoft is now a direct competitor with many of its PC OEM partners."

Flipkart acquires Myntra


Flipkart acquires Myntra
Flipkart expects orders made using mobile phones to account for a significant part of sales in 18-24 months.
BANGALORE: Marking the biggest consolidation in the e-commerce space in India, homegrown e-retailer Flipkart has acquired online fashion retailer Myntra in an estimated Rs 2,000 crore deal.

While the companies did not disclose the deal size, sources suggest the deal could be worth about Rs 2,000 crore.

"It is a 100% acquisition and going forward, we have big plans in this segment. Flipkart and Myntra are getting together to create one of the largest e-commerce stories and together we will dominate the market," Flipkart co-founder and CEO Sachin Bansal told reporters here.

Asked about valuation, the companies declined to comment. "We, at Flipkart, believe that we want to be leaders in every segment and fashion is a category of the future, this acquisition will help us become leaders in this category," he said.

Sachin said Flipkart will invest $100 million (around Rs 600 crore) in its fashion business in the near-term.

Flipkart, which started in 2007 as an online bookstore, sells products across categories, including fashion and electronics. It also sells white goods and furniture.

The move is expected to help Flipkart strengthen its apparel portfolio and compete more aggressively with peers like Amazon and Snapdeal.

Myntra will continue to operate as a separate entity with its co-founder and CEO Mukesh Bansal joining Flipkart board and heading the fashion business.

"It was very essential to keep Myntra a separate entity and preserve its culture. I'm here for the long haul and we will continue to grow in the market," Mukesh Bansal said.

India's e-commerce market has seen huge growth in the past few years as more people log on to the Internet to shop. While apparel and electronics are bestsellers for most e-commerce firms, categories such as home decor and household items are also popular.

The industry, estimated to be worth about $3 billion currently, has firms such as Snapdeal, eBay and Amazon which follow the marketplace model.

Led by increasing Internet penetration and youngsters shopping online, Flipkart's annualised sales crossed $1 billion (over Rs 6,100 crore) a year ahead of target. It had estimated to reach the billion dollar mark for gross merchandise value by 2015.

Flipkart, which also operates under the marketplace model allowing retailers to offer products on its platform, has since its inception raised over $500 million from investors.

The Bangalore-based firm, founded by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal, counts Naspers, Tiger Global, Accel Partners, Dragoneer, Morgan Stanley, Sofina and Vulcan Capital among its investors.

Last year, Flipkart raised $360 million from private equity firms, one of the largest funding deals in the Indian e-commerce space.

Myntra sells products from over 650 brands like Nike, HRX by Hrithik Roshan, Biba and Steve Madden and clocked revenue of about Rs 1,000 crore in the previous financial year.

It aims to double its revenue in this financial year as it expands its seller base and adds products.

Myntra has about 100 sellers on board and plans to increase this number to 1,000 by fiscal end.
