Themes / Persona

Place 1 big image behind UI chrome and in-content UI (Kitsch, but effective)

• How do you get this?
  • Go to getpersonas or AMO, and pick a thumbnail
  • Tap on it to download an image, it previews in the UI and you can save it

• What about advanced theming where you can actually change button images and icons?
  • We would need to provide a list of all the things you need to change a theme
  • list of assets
  • list of css styles for selection colours, text colours
  • list of android theme elements

• Need to assemble some documentation on what is customizable (UX / Front end)
  • This could be useful to start building for partnerships, should they decide they want to

• Customize the UI Layout
• Incontent UI for customization
• Build a webpage to allow users to
  • move icons into toolbar
  • reverse the orientation of the UI for left handed use
• Alternately, could we do a drag and drop UI for customization
  • This could also a good way to identify if there are different "niche" UI arrangements that are optimized for different tasks

• Customize Top Sites on about:home
  • control over what sites
  • control over how many?
  • control over shape of layout?
  • and later, could this even evolve into a "magazine mode" on about:home

• Sound effects
  • identify where

• Colour
  • Pulling logo or favicon colour to use as dominant colour for URL bar or tabs backgrounds

• Action Items
  • [IAN] Open UX bug for how can I customize my top sites
  • [IAN] List of where we might use sound effects
  • [MARK] Talk to Fabrice about what he's doing with Personas: how to do the big image background

• Still worthwhile for ADIs?
  • Heck yeah
  • People just like hacking their stuff
  • We can look more at home on OEMs
  • We are giving our users choice
  • Customization leads to stickyness - people have it set just the way they like it
