https://ift.tt/1TYszcN Red and Raven have scoured the depths of the ancient wasteland they call home for something lost and buried, something revolutionary. What they unearthed was the New Retro sound of a forgotten era. Together, they formed Scandroid to bring that sound into their world. Based in an abandoned warehouse in Old Tokyo, they are surrounded by ancient technology and sound from the era of the 1980s. Beneath the shadow of the elite and unreachable Neo-Tokyo, they plan their revolution… https://ift.tt/2K1EP0o https://ift.tt/2Ik7OXp http://www.twitter.com/ScandroidMusic http://www.youtube.com/ScandroidOfficial https://ift.tt/2K02ONm Listen to Scandroid on Spotify! - http://spoti.fi/11Mpl2h

We’re excited to launch two new Test Pilot experiments that add power and style to Firefox. Side View enables you to multitask with Firefox like never before by letting you keep two websites open side by side in the same window. Firefox Color makes it easy to customize the look and feel of your Firefox browser. With just a few clicks you can create beautiful Firefox themes all your own. Both experiments are available today from Firefox Test Pilot. Try them out, and don’t forget to give us feedback. You’re helping to shape the future of Firefox! Introducing Firefox Color and Side View was originally published in Firefox Test Pilot on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Hello folks! This week was good. Last week I learnt about building themes and this week I actually implement these. In this blog I’ll explain about building dynamic themes. Introduction A theme and browser extension functionality cannot be defined in one package. One can, however, programmatically include a theme in an extension using the Theme API and those themes are called dynamic themes. I made one dynamic theme where themes are changing according to the time of day. After that I added an additional functionality using browser action. So, a user can add an alarm to it’s forefox page using browser action button.After setting alarm( in hours), whenever the hour matches with the alram time hour, the page produces a sound and theme is changed for one minute. After one minute the theme is again resumed with the particular day time theme. It was fun making this. :-) Getting Started First you need to create a manifest.json file within your main folder. This file specify basic metadata and theme components. My manifest.json file looks as follows- manifest.json Here “permissions” is necessary to request “theme” for building Dynamic themes. For including browser action, we add “browser_action” in manifest.json. But what is browser action? A browser action is a button that your extension adds to the browser’s toolbar. The button has an icon, and may optionally have a popup whose content is specified using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here the popup content is specified in “alarm.html”. In this pop up you can set alarm ( in hours). Next, you need to build a JSON object containing the information about your theme. See the example below- Theme that appears when alarm hours matches with the current time( written in alarm.js file). Day, night themes ( written in background.js file)- Lastly, pass the JSON object in a theme.update() call as shown below- So, building a dynamic theme is fun. All you need is to keep some points in mind and tada~ theme is built. :-D I would like to attach a GIF of the dynamic theme. Note that I am writing this blog during day time, so the GIF has day theme along with an alarm theme which user can set at any hour. At the end, I would like to thank my awesome mentor Les Orchard. :-) He is assigning some cool stuffs to me and answers all my doubts. :-D Thanks for reading. If you are having any suggestions or thoughts on this, be sure to leave a comment. :-) Bye Bye :-D
