Personas for Firefox

RandyTiger · 05-26-2010, 09:00 AM

I recently came across this very interesting add-on for Firefox: Personas. You can add on "skins" (they're not themes, more like skins), and I found some baseball ones in there: MLB clubs, minors, other assorted baseball-themed.

Thinking about making an OOTP one, assuming I can get permission to use the necessary graphics.

Very nice. Thanks for pointing these out Randy.

Nice, thanks! I'm forwarding this to our graphics designer Aurelio. Of course we like that idea very much. If you link or mention our site (www.ootpdevelopments.com), you can use our logo.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm sure Aurelio can come up with something better. Doesn't hurt to have several floating around in there.

lol, this has been out for a while now.

If you do one for OOTP 11 - Suggestion:

Go to page three (last page) of the baseball themes. Look for the one with the baseball that has red stitching, with white stars on blue. The American-style baseball one on page three.

Look at how it fits nicely, and is very clean on the web browser. Then compare that one, to many of the other skins. Most of the other skins are pretty terrible, with their interference with being able to tell which tabs are which, because of too much blending.

If I may suggest, do something similar to the American baseball one, with the OOTP 11 logo fading in on the right.

And, if Aurelio does not tell you exactly what RBG color to use for the blue, there is another firefox add-on called colorzilla. Colorzilla is a sweet little add-on that gives you a color-picker, exactly what you have in all Adobe products. Use the colorzilla add-on, to pick the same color blue as is used on these forums.

Again, just a suggestion.

This is a great idea. I use Firefox on my Windows7 machine b/c Internet Explorer sucks. Anyway, I love the personas and would use an OOTP one for sure! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
