Mozilla Personas Renamed to Background Themes

And the confusing name changing continues. If you are a Ghacks regular you know that Mozilla made the decision earlier on to rename their email-based login system BrowserID to Mozilla Persona. The issue here was that the name conflicted with Personas, which provided Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey users with the means to change their program’s skin easily.

Mozilla therefor made the decision to change the name of Personas as well, to avoid one being mistaken for the other. The new Personas name was announced yesterday on the add-ons blog, and what a surprise, it too may cause confusion.

Personas joins the Firefox themes family and Mozilla will distinguish between background themes (formerly Personas) and complete themes (total conversions). For the most part though, Mozilla will refer to both as themes.

To sum it up:

BrowserID renamed to Mozilla PersonaPersonas renamed to Background ThemesThemes are now Complete Themes

The Personas website will be migrated into the Mozilla Add-ons repository to become available in the Themes category there.

When Personas have finished the migration to their new home, they’ll be called themes. Until then, our websites will continue to refer to them as Personas or Persona themes.

The move, according to the blog post, will be finished in the coming months.

Mozilla considered renaming Personas to skins first, as it was the most popular suggestion in the naming poll. Skins came first with 41% of the votes followed by themes with 22%. Skins was rejected because of “negative reactions and associations” and because Mozilla thought it would be less confusing to unify all visual modifications under a single name.

Firefox users can install background themes directly and without installation dialog in the browser. That’s different from complete themes that display an installation window and require a restart of the browser. Both background and complete themes require site authorization though before themes can be installed.

What’s your take on the new name? Does it add to the confusion or sort everything out nicely?

Rejoice the Occasion of Love with Valentines Day Themes at Celebration Venues in London

Have you ever heard of the quote "To Love is to receive a glimpse of heaven"? This quote is not just a mere statement, but has a deeper meaning to it. Being in love is one of the most special feelings where you sense the connection with your beloved. All the lovers celebrate this connection of love every year on the special occasion of Valentine's Day.

The occasion of Valentine's Day is not only special for couples, but singles as well. After all, singles are always ready to mingle. Planning a huge Valentine's Day party in London is a perfect idea to enjoy this evening. There are plenty of celebration venues in London for a romantic party for all the couples and your single friends. Instead of arranging the usual cupid decorations and typical treat for your guests, organise a nice theme party for all. Choose from a wide range of following themes that signify the love and spirit of the occasion.

Romantic Red
Valentine's Day is the occasion of love and red is the most suitable colour to define romance. This official colour of love will add grace and elegance to the party. Ask the staff to make use of red decorations including red balloons, confetti, heart shaped cushions and red ribbons all around the hall. Arrange dim red lighting to give a romantic feel to the hall. Valentine's Day is incomplete without red roses, so, order dozens of roses for the party. Order a red velvet cake and strawberry punch in the menu. The main course will include various dishes in red colour. Ask the guest to dress in red and black costumes.

Matchmaking Party
Arrange a party to find best match for your single friends. Prepare some games including truth and dare, couple treasure hunting, grab your man, paper dance and more. These games will help the singles to interact with each other and find the best compatible partner. Also, prepare a brief questionnaire about their hobbies, qualities and career aspirations.

Honour the Historical Couples
This is a perfect theme for couples. Dress like famous couples from anywhere around the world. If you have a favourite Hollywood couple in mind or lovers from your favourite book, dress like them. Choose from a diverse range of options including Romeo and Juliet or Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. For decorations, use photos and posters of famous couples for the walls of the venue.

So, get ready for the occasion of love, passion and romance. Hire a perfect celebration venue in London and enjoy a great themed party with your love mate and friends.
