Are you using FireFox? If so are you using the same old default theme? Did you know that you can get customised themes?
These are 10 that i think are a few of the best to choose from.

NASA Night Launch

This theme is for people who like it dark. If you’re running a dark desktop then this is for you. So zip up your flight suit, make sure your harness is secure, and enjoy the ride.

Aquatint Black

It is much improved over the previous versions but still keeps the same cool glassy aqua buttons on the jet black toolbar.

Most of us provide services to others in one form or another. One of the most important aspects of business-to-business (B2B) commerce is to project a professional image to your clients. How could a client rely on your services if your own website does not function properly? iScripts.com has a wide variety of professional scripts that will come in handy for a wide variety of different B2B interactions online. While they feature 15 different scripts, I thought I would highlight a few of them that may interest you.

iScripts Easy Biller

iScripts Easy Biller would be great to use for anyone offering services such as web or graphic design. With it, you can easily manage your clients and keep track of how much they owe. It also supports automatic recurring billing to save you the hassle of manually sending invoices to all of your clients each time a bill is due. Because Easy Biller reduces the amount of time you have to spend managing your billing process, it will free up your time so you can spend more time actually performing your services rather than billing for them.

iScripts Autohoster

iScripts Easy Biller will allow you to start your own web hosting business and will have you up and running in just a few minutes. It handles everything from domain registration, account management and online billing. Easy Biller also includes a helpdesk and online site builder for your clients.

The helpdesk and site builder features are actually separate scripts, but they come already integrated with Autohoster so you only need this one script to handle everything.

There are many other helpful scripts available by iScripts as well. You can view the complete list on their products page. If you are not very tech savvy when it comes to getting these online programs up and running, iScripts also offers complete installation for any of their products.

All of their products come with a 30 day money back guarantee and are completely open source, meaning that the entire source code is customizable for seamless implementation onto your existing site. I’ve been given a coupon code to share with you all which is available exclusively here at JWRmedia.com! During the checkout process, enter the coupon code 3BLD8 to get 10% off ANY of the products.

When it comes to designing websites, it is important to color coordinate your pages well so that they look more professional and appealing to your visitors. This is when I load up one of my favorite pieces of software- Pixie.

Pixie is a small, simple piece of software designed by Nattyware that is used to help you locate the exact color of anything you see on your computer. I use this time and time again anytime I see a color that I would like to use when doing graphic or website design.

Pixie easily gives you the HEX, HTML, RGM, CMYK and HSV values of any color you want! All you have to do is open the program and hold your mouse over the color you like and its exact value is shown. The best part about this software- it’s FREE!

In my opinion, Pixie is a must have resource for any graphics or website designer. Pixie can be downloaded from the Nattyware website at:

How many times have you attempted to delete a file or folder in Windows, but were given a notice such as this:

I run into this problem quite often when working with Adobe Illustrator files. Even though the program is closed and the file is not in use, many times Windows will not allow me to delete, rename or move the file.

That’s when Unlocker Assistant comes to the rescue!

Unlocker Assistant is a free software which will “unlock” these files, allowing you to modify them as needed. Unlocker Assistant adds a convenient option when you right click your mouse, which when clicked will open up a screen like this:

Unlocker Assistant will show you a list of programs and files that Windows says are using the particular file you want to modify. You can choose a specific program to “unlock” the file, or choose the “unlock all” option to completely free up your file.

Unlocker Assistant will give you some options when opened:

If you own a blog or a website, you probably spend hours everyday uploading and downloading files back and forth between your local computer and your site. With so many FTP software titles to choose from, how do you find the best one for you? Here I have listed some must-have features to look for in any FTP software as well as four of my top recommendations.

Must-Have Features

There’s more to a high quality FTP software than just uploading and downloading files. The features I appreciate the most include a “keep alive” feature, which sends random messages to your server periodically in order to keep your connection from timing out and disconnecting. Secondly, FXP (or, server-to-server) transfers are great if you manage more than one website. FXP will allow you to send files directly from one remote server to another without having to download the files to your local computer. Lastly, my personal favorite is a scheduler. A scheduler will allow you to automate things such as website or local backups. For example, if you would like to regularly backup the information on your local computer, you can schedule a daily backup where your FTP program will automatically upload newly modified files on your computer to a remote location. This also works the other way around for backups from your remote website to your local computer as well.

With that said, I have outlined four popular FTP programs that I would recommend for anyone looking for a high quality feature-rich FTP client at a reasonable price.

1. WS_FTP Pro- http://www.ipswitch.com
Cost: $54.95

Just off the top of my head, I would probably guess that WS_FTP Pro may be the most popular FTP client software out there. Developed by Ipswitch, WS_FTP Pro is packed with tons of features that will allow you to manage your files with ease. Of course, WS_FTP Pro is not the only version Ipswitch offers. They offer a few different versions along with the option of purchasing additional support if you desire.

In addition to my must-have features of “keep alive”, FXP and scheduler, WS_FTP Pro includes some neat things such as a thumbnail display of remote images, multiple program skins and auto email notifications on file transfers.

2. Cute FTP- http://www.cuteftp.com/cuteftppro/
Cost: $59.99

Again, Cute FTP also provides my three must-have features. Similar to WS_FTP, Cute FTP also features thumbnails of remote images. This software will also automatically check for updates to your local files and folders and automatically upload them to your remote server. Another similarity between WS_FTP and Cute FTP is the utilization of tabs, which many people find convenient but I am personally not a big fan of (although I’m not quite sure why).
