Tip #3885 - SeaMonkey Extras
Printer Friendly Version | E-Mail This Tip
Q:
Awhile back, you said something about SeaMonkey having extensions and
different themes you could get for it. Can you please give me some more
information about all that? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
A:
Well, of course I can! And my goodness, you just asked so nicely. There's
no way I could pass up this question any longer. To begin, you are absolutely
right. In another tip I wrote about SeaMonkey, I did mention all the extras
you can get with it. I wasn't able to go into a lot of detail about them
before, but I'm surely going to make up for that today! Now, before I
go any further, if you're not sure what all SeaMonkey is about, be sure
to read this article.
Once you do that, you'll be able to better understand the rest of this
tip. Alright, let's continue on!
With SeaMonkey, you
can get themes, extensions and certain plug-ins. I'll go over each of
these one by one and I'll explain to you what each one is, how you can
benefit from them and how you can get them for yourself. I'll even give
you some examples of my favorites. So, without further ado, let's get
started!
Themes
- If you're not sure, themes are like different styles of clothes you
can get for your SeaMonkey utility. I'm sure you've changed the theme
on your computer before, right? Well, the themes for SeaMonkey are just
like that. You can change something small like a color or even change
its whole appearance. It just helps you to personalize your SeaMonkey
a little more and make it your very own.
SeaMonkey has a lot
of themes you can choose from. To get started, click here.
You can search by Popular Themes, New and Updated Themes or you can just
browse through all of them at once. Once you click on one, you will be
able to see a preview of what it will look like if you were to choose
that theme. Each link has an explanation about what each theme contains
as well. If you find one you like, just click the Install Now
button and you'll be all set. My favorite theme has to be the one called
EarlyBlue. It's just a simple theme, but it suits my style the best. Which
one do you like?!
Extensions
- In case you haven't heard of them before, extensions are used to add
a little more functionality to the SeaMonkey utility. They are also known
as add ons. Extensions can be anything from a new toolbar button to a
whole new feature. They are mainly used to help you customize your SeaMonkey
to fit your needs and wants. It's just one more way you can personalize
your SeaMonkey to work the best for you.
The SeaMonkey extensions
come in different categories, so they're very easy to search through.
You can check them all out by going here.
Some of the categories include RSS, News and Blogging, Privacy and Security,
Interface Customizations, Language, Search Tools and Photos and Media.
There's tons of them! If you know which category you'd like to look under,
just click on its link and you'll see a list of all the extensions available
for that particular one. You can then click on each extension to learn
more about it or download it. Again, to get it, just click on the
Install Now button. My favorite extension by far is the one called
TwittyTunes. It can be found under the Photos and Media section!
Plug-ins
- For just a brief explanation, plug-ins are used to help SeaMonkey perform
special functions, such as viewing different graphic formats or playing
different media files. Now, this may sound just like an extension, but
plug-ins are definitely different. There are only a few plug-ins available
for SeaMonkey, but all of them are listed here.
If you find one you want, just click the big green Install Now
button. A lot of the plug-ins are common downloads, so you may
already have some of them on your computer. Before you download them again,
be sure to check on that. Otherwise, go ahead and add as many plug-ins
as you want. They'll only help your SeaMonkey to be its best!
So, there you have
it. As if SeaMonkey wasn't great enough, you can add all of these things
to it as well. Hopefully you're able to find something here that you'll
enjoy and your SeaMonkey application will be better than ever. Enjoy it,
my friends!
