MaDonna's Firefox Themes : Nearing April

Nearing April

For some reason the creative juices aren't flowing this morning and I am a bit depressed. I hate it when I get to feeling this way but it happens.

As I have said in many postings, family is very important to me and I do not favor anyone over anyone else. They are all important and loved, but sometimes one family member can cause a lot of friction and I am very hurt by this. I wish it didn't cause me heartache, but it does and then I get depressed.

Families get very complicated over time and I think I have said enough. I just had to sound off a bit.

I hope you like the new look of my blog. I think it is rather springy, if that is a word! You can find the Persona lightweight background theme at: https://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/463151 on Mozilla and at: http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/theme/824ca612-7e20-4ca3-bbf9-1594ddb6f774 for IE and Firefox at Brand Thunder.

I will explain a bit more about Firefox Persona's, which will be called either lightweight themes or background themes. I don't know for sure what they have decided and personally don't care. I think it was a mistake and foolish to change the name of something that was so popular. It will just cause a lot of confusion. That is neither here nor there, it is done.

I am adding my name to all of the themes on Brand Thunder and you can find most of them at: http://gallery.brandthunder.com/en-US/gallery/All/search/1?p=MaDonna. I still have a bunch to change but as of right now I can't get back on that specific site to change so there are about 100 more I have made that won't come up until that happens.

I think I better sign off for the time being and try to get something going. It was a beautiful sunshiny weekend but dark and drizzly today and will be all week. Kind of like the mood I am in.

Oh MaDonna your Spring Theme creating the mood of your Blog is beautiful... though I probably type similar with each change you bring about... but your changes are always a surprise, always beautiful... and I very much like the feel of this one. The colouring is... well I feel I can smell the scent of Lavender or Violet Water.

I think I'd be feeling a bit down, regardless of Family hiccups, if I had to go backwards to remedy everything I did so what I'd done would still apply to the present. Must be tiresome.

Peculiar change from Personas to Lightweight... all I can conclude from the wording is the Lightweight refers to the aspect of Personas being a smaller background option so are considered less weight than full backgrounds?!?!
With that wording I've possibly confused my self even if have a view in my mind.

I'd definitely suggest a visit to this Blog of yours for a refreshing uplifting moment to help ease the down moments though.

hugs and xxx

(A little about me)

I once said I never wanted a computer, BUT...
one of my grandson's is in the IT Department at WWU and installed Firefox when he built my desktop computer. I really like it and won't use any other browser now. It is safe, fast and has tons of extensions to make it easy for your browsing. One of the add ons they have available are themes which they used to call Personas. They had been called Personas for several years and became very popular, but someone at Mozilla got the bright idea to change the name. Whatever you want to call them they are still a fun quick way to make your browser personal. You can find my Persona/Theme designs at:

I make desktop wallpaper designs to match many of my themes, which you can use as background themes for GMail. You can also use them as a wallpaper for your cell phone. You can find my desktop wallpaper designs at: http://my.desktopnexus.com/MaDonnas/uploads/

I have been making theme designs for my own personal Firefox ever since it was installed. Then it was opened so you could submit designs for approval in 2008. My design called Sunset Over Water had over a million and a half people using it at one time. It is from a photo I took off Chuckanut Drive on our way home from a wedding.

I have always been interested in design. When I was a little girl I designed clothing for my paper dolls. Then designed and made clothes for my regular dolls. I made most of my own clothing in high school. When I was older I designed, sewed and made our 3 kids clothing. When they got married and started having babies I made tons of clothes for our 7 grand kids. I decided to sell some of my designs. Fibromyalgia decided to put a stop to that. Sewing for hours a day was just too much.

I am a bit of an over-achiever and when I start something, I don't know when to quit! I have done a little bit of sewing for our great grand kids, but I know I have a limit and when to stop.

I used to design and make jewelry and sold at bazaars which was a lot of fun.

I work on themes and desktop wallpaper designs almost every day and have enjoyed hearing from people all over the world.

I was asked to design themes for Brand Thunder. They have theme designs for people that use Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari and also Firefox. In 2012 I won a Nexus 7 tablet on a pop culture contest they held. They have changed their format so I don't make designs for them anymore.

I now use Photoshop Elements to make my designs. It is a very complicated program to use, especially at my age of 82.

Thank you all for your comments and using my designs. I will keep making them as long as I can and people enjoy using them.
