Most of us use the Internet every single day. And most of us do so using one of the three most popular browsers out there: Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.Each one comes with a host of features and desirable qualities; many times, choosing a browser to use comes down to one’s personal preference.
But when you stare at the same screen every single day, it can get tedious. If your job requires you to be on the Internet a lot (or you just simply love browsing), why not add a little bit of fun to it and personalize your web browser?

If your company is looking for a new way to advertise or market a product, getting involved in the world of toolbars and browser themes could be a perfect fit.
Just about anyone who uses the Internet is familiar with a browser toolbar. Whether it’s a bookmark/browser toolbar or a website toolbar designed for a specific site, users for all of the major browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari) are familiar with what these are. A toolbar is a horizontal row or vertical column of selectable image “buttons” that give the user a constantly visible reminder of and an easy way to select certain desktop or other application functions, such as saving or printing a document or moving pages forwards or backwards within a Web browser.

Creating your own Firefox Themes used to be a somewhat daunting task for the average user. The days of slicing and dicing multiple images, logos and other graphics to fit into the browser header as well as accounting for multiple screen sizes were a challenge to Firefox theme makers. Further, an average non-designer who wanted to create a Firefox theme had to have specific design software and the design skills necessary to make a theme look great. These considerations are just for the “design” aspect of Firefox themes. If you wanted to create an “Interactive” theme, this required advanced technical knowledge that most designers or average theme creators did not have. Interactive elements include:
- RSS Feeds
- Links to Websites or Blogs
- E-commerce links
- Social Media Links
- Videos, Sidebars and more.
Having created browser themes for the past 4+ years, Brand Thunder saw the need for a simple intuitive tool to help average users, bloggers, marketers and designers make their own Firefox themes. The result is the latest theme creator tool: BT-Engage.com. We’ll show you how to create your own Firefox Theme in 5 minutes:
