Re: [libreoffice-users] 4.0.0's use of personas

The real good think about "personas" is the ability to change the look 
of the "white space" or colored areas that are part of the menu bar 
areas of your Firefox browser and now LO 4.0.0.  You can even find ones 
that have animated images shown there.

I tend to use green color schemes on both my Linux and Windows systems.  
The trouble is that it is hard to adjust all these "window" border and 
display options.  With FF's personas, you just choose the design you 
want and try it.  If you do not like it, you just click on another one.  
You can very easily switch back and forth between personas as your whim 
dictates.

Attached to your copy of this email is a screen clip of my desktop.
I like the green background of the closeup of a wood-elf, since I love 
"green".  But you will see the top and bottom parts of the Firefox 
"window" are green tone as well.  The FF green tone is from personas.  I 
also have winter graphics as well as spring and quite animated graphics 
I could switch to.

FF has over 100,000 personas in their listing.  If you are adventurous, 
you can create your own personas.  I hope people associated with TDF 
will create their own personas to be used for both LO and FF.  That way 
we could have LO themed ones, other than the 7 already in the FF list.
