I started a new Firefox theme this weekend. It remains to be seen how far I'll get. The Firefox project is approaching a milestone 1.0 release and it would be nice to have it done by then. In the meantime, check out Charamel - quite nice, if you don't mind those colours.

Amazon.com interestingly don't let you bookmark a search result. For example, returning to a search result URL - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/103-6278745-5746238 - displays a page claiming that there appears to be a bug in the web browser you are currently using. It would be nice if they could design their search application to accept query strings for bookmarking purposes, and if that's too much trouble, at least not blame the user's browser for their shortcomings.

Slow progress is like reliving a nightmare. But it's happening: PS2 meets Mozilla in my first Mozilla skin. Like Warren, I don't think I would use it either, but it's something I started and I like the way it's presently looking, so I'm going to finish it.

Inspired by Opera 7 skins. Now if only I can get Opera 7 to install - ever since uninstalling the Beta and trying to install the final 7.01 release, the install freezes at 2% (during the initial self-extracting stage). Blah!

And if you don't like the size, simply switch to WinShade mode where it docks at the top of your desktop.

It's just so usable, I'm going to give WinAMP 3 a second chance.

The following principles are fundamental to the design and implementation of effective interfaces, whether for traditional GUI environments or the web.

Great read if you consider yourself an interaction or interface designer, it covers everything from Color Blindness, to Fitt's Law, to Readability.

Expect my site to be changing in the next couple of weeks. :)

Probably what has prompted me most to do this, other than my love for GUI design, is the sad fact that all except the Modern theme are pretty much butt-ugly!!
