Sometimes the best answers are the most obvious. When you’re sitting around wondering, “what could be better than a Christmas browser theme?” and the simple brilliance of it hits you… “TWO Christmas browser themes.” It’s like finding an amp that goes to 11. One might suggest since we have both a Firefox and Internet Explorer version of the browser themes, we technically have four. To that I say, “yes, one might suggest that” and then promptly change the subject.
Christmas
The Christmas browser theme, Brand Thunder’s first and still most popular, is reminiscent of a scene from Frosty, with a happy snowman amongst snow covered hills. During the day, you’ll enjoy falling now. At night, the sky darkens and the twinkling lights in the Christmas trees can be seen.
Classic Christmas
If you prefer a Christmas theme that feels a little more like home, try out the Classic Christmas browser theme. You’ll enjoy the images of presents under the tree and the twinkling tree lights amongst the ornaments.
Holiday Cheer
The browser themes alone will help to keep your spirits bright. The interactive components of these two themes include:
- Top selections from the Holiday Radio channels found on AccuRadio.com, one of the most outstanding Internet radio providers we’ve found.
- A sidebar of fun holiday videos from YouTube and special gift options from Amazon.
- Links for holiday history, Christmas recipes, activities and more
Either one you choose, you’re sure to enjoy. They are nice little additions to the holiday season and a great way to start your Season’s Greetings.

At this time of giving thanks, Brand Thunder has much to celebrate.
And reflecting over the past year shows the huge strides we’ve made from both a business and technology standpoint. Thanks to an outstanding team.
- First dynamically updating browser theme with The Daily Beast news browser theme. The featured exclusive story photo automatically appeared within the browser theme when the web site updated the content and prompting users to return 10 times more frequently than their average user.
- First browser theme to include an automatic theme switch after a time-based event. Daytona International Speedway browser theme included a change of theme after one of its four prominent races, a countdown ticker to the next race start and alerts to ticket availability for its races.
- Most dynamic theme available in the market. Weather browser theme powered by WeatherBug changes to reflect the users current weather conditions. The users location is set either through the browser’s geo-location feature or user data. The theme also features up to a three-day forecast in the browser.
- First Internet Explorer themes to premiere on Microsoft’s IE Add-ons Gallery. Subsequently, Microsoft secured approval to feature a dozen of Brand Thunder’s themes in IE8 Optimized Browsers showcasing the theme capabilities that had previously not existed for IE.
- Personas Interactive Firefox extension launched as a new Firefox theme platform that the industry experts at TechCrunch declared “Personas Interactive… Leapfrogged Mozilla.“
- Brand Thunder’s progress and promise in the technology space qualified it for $1 million from the Ohio Innovation Loan Fund, a program to help groundbreaking small companies grow and create jobs that remain in Ohio.
We’ve still got a lot to do, but reflecting on the accomplishments manages to show the progress that gets made over time even if it’s sometimes missed in the moment.

Brand Thunder cautiously announces the release of its Medical Marijuana browser theme. This is a serious topic with serious consequences. We’re not going to ride in on our high horse and dictate the course any state, or even our country, should toke. I mean, “take.” The last thing we want to do is take sides against the issue and watch the hopes of thousands, even millions, of people go up in smoke. Though, it seems that would be the result if we backed it as well.
You can see the dilemma. We also wonder if a country suffering an obesity epidemic should encourage wider use of this substance. Makes you wonder who’s behind the initiative. I expect someone is following the Cheetos-stained money trail.
Enough potificating, we’re on deadline and need to finish this post by 4:20. Check out the Medical Marijuana browser theme it’s good for a laugh – and that’s the best medicine.
