G-Force is a really cool visualizer that works with most of the popular music players, including iTunes. I am not really sure about what you get with the paid version but the free one is pretty good as well. It starts with the GForce Premium ad but that disappears in about 5-10 seconds.

My Top 10 Firefox Themes

My Top 10 Firefox Themes

For those of you who are tired and boring of default plain gray theme of Firefox , there are a few things you can do to change the looks of your Firefox browser, making it more interesting. Just go to Firefox Add-on site, then look out for "themes" section. Themes are like new clothes for your Firefox. A theme can change only a few colors, or every piece of Firefox's appearance. It's another great way to personalize Firefox to your tastes.

I've installed all of them. When i got bored of current theme, I will change it to another. I usually stick with current theme only for a week, then I changed to a new one.

1) Aero Fox

This is a dark theme using Aero style buttons and icons. It is largely based on Aquatint Dark theme but uses some features from Abstract Classic and Cobalt Firefox.

2) Tinseltown

Tinseltown is a Christmas theme with holiday imagery including Christmas lights, snow, reindeer, presents and more. This theme is made eve better with great Christmas icons from Watiworks and a semi-transparent URL bar. Get in the holiday spirit!

Tinseltown, the holiday theme, works on Mac, Window and Linux for all to enjoy!

3) MidnightFox
MidnightFox is a dark theme with brightly colored buttons. The idea is to try and create a dark, yet usable, Firefox theme. This theme IS NOT finished. If you don't like dark themes, don't download.

5) ToonSkin - A violet and grey cartoon theme for your favorite browser.


6) TrafficFox - A Firefox theme with road signs.

PinkHope is a Firefox theme for Breast Cancer awareness. It's very pink and is one way you can help spread awareness at home, school or work without saying a word. The bright colors and pink ribbon are enough to let anyone know the cause.
