How to change Facebook Color

You can change your Facebook Color Scheme to anything you want. Follow the following procedures:
Step01: Please confirm, you are using the Mozilla Firefox browser. Because, you need an add-on that should be compatible with Firefox. Add-on name: "Greasemonkey". Developed by Anthony Lieuallen, Aaron Boodman and Johan Sundström. To get this add-on, please start your firefox browser, then press Ctrl+Shift+A to open 'Add-ons Manager'. By selecting 'Get Add-ons', write "Greasemonkey" in the search box.

Step02:Then press Enter. You will get Greasemonkey 0.9.15. Press Install. Download will start. After that press "Restart now" to restart the Firefox.

Step03: Now go to this link. Press green color "Install" button to install the script.

Step04: Log In your facebook account. When you are visitting any page on facebook, simply go from the menu bar of the Firefox: Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands... > Customise facebook colours...Then a "Facebook Colour Changer" will appear with Colour 1 and Colour 2. Select the colours you'd like facebook to be, click "Set!", and you're done!

Note:
You can retrieve your BLUE Facebook. Blur the monkey just click on that and default facebook will back. You will get this monkey on the bottom right of the Firefox.

And if you want to go back your customised color version, then blur out the monkey by just another click.

Thats all :)

Mozilla Firefox Logo Evolution & Secrets

Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross had created a web browser “Firefox”. The first name of it was Phoenix, which had a clear resemblance with their first logo in 2002. Due to some trade name issues, the name had to be changed to “Firebird”, to retain the same logo. But, again the same problem, trade name issue. Then, they decided to change the total branding including name and logo. By the way, 2nd time change was needed because of existing software.

After that, in October 2003, a professional interface designer Steven Garrity revealed some points which were not consistent with Mozilla’s visual identity. And because of this, Mozilla Foundation invited him to join the recently created Mozilla branding team in the purpose of producing a new logo identity. And then his team’s first effort was Firefox 0.8 (February 2004). Silverorange (Steven Garrity worked there as a creative director) designed the new icon, initial sketched by Stephen Desroches, rendering by Jon Hicks. This icon was first deployed in Firefox 0.8.

The logo was revised and updated later, fixing some flaws: say, modernize the shape of the tail, gave a 3D look by wrapping tails behind the globe, update the texture used for the Firefox and the globe, slightly reduce the overall level of visual complexity in the icon.

Let’s find out some secrets:

Firefox logo reveals a fox, but it’s not a fox. Actually it is a panda, Firefox is a Chinese name for a Red Panda. Panda’s color and motion was partially inspired by the piece of artwork in Daniel Burka’s childhood bible. And this software come up with pandas behavior when he is in the tree, for his name.
There are two controversies, why this logo like this?
- Stephen Desroches, who sketched this logo at first, inspired by a Japanese brush painting of a fox.
- A photographs in space taken at December 17, 2002 by the Hubble Space telescope showed something really similar to the logo which Firefox is using. V838 Monocerotis showed the same star again of the same structure.

Whatever that is, this logo is graphically a top notch piece.
