Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Make Firefox look like Windows Phone 7 with Metro UI add-on
Metro 1.0 for Firefox certainly looks good. Minimal, straight-line, square. Everything is a relaxed grey, with dropshadows everywhere -- and of course, a dash of colour! Don't worry if pink's not your favourite -- if you grab Stylish, there are Red and Blue Usertyles of Metro 1.0 available. Overall it's a pleasing theme, though there's not quite enough contrast for me -- the tabs bleed into the menu bars above them.
It sounds like Microsoft wants to work its Metro UI into all of its future releases. The screenshots of IE9 with Metro UI were apparently fake -- but it stands to reason that IE9 will use the new UI. I wonder if browsers like Firefox and Chrome will be able to tap basic Windows functionality to provide a similar user experience, or whether we'll have to rely on add-ons...

It's not pink, it's orangenta! :D
I think this is more of a Zune skin than WP7. I like it, but it could use the circular back/forward buttons and a more Zune-like feed icon in the address bar. And the tab font should be thinner, in my opinion.

it looks a cheap version of opera in red nothing like the metro ui. I hope someone will make a Firefox theme like IE 9 fake or real metro ui.

It looks like a cheap version of Opera in the red, and nothing like the metro ui.
