Run Facebook Chat in the Sidebar [Firefox]

Posted by Aaron Nelsen on Apr 24, 2008 in Aaron Nelsen, Facebook Chat, Firefox, How-to

I could care less, but Facebook launched their GoogleTalk clone chat utility the other day. And apparently, just like GoogleTalk you can run it in the sidebar in Firefox. Woot.

The upside to this is now you can chat with all your friends without having to open up Facebook, and you’ll be free to browse other websites while chatting.

To add the Facebook chat to your Firefox sidebar, press Ctrl+Shift+B to bring up the Bookmarks Organizer.

Go to Organize -> New Bookmark and type the following address: http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php

Also mark the box that says “Load this bookmark in the sidebar”.

Creating a Theme for the iPhone

Posted by Aaron Nelsen on Apr 24, 2008 in Aaron Nelsen, Tutorial, iPhone, iPod touch

Reader Ed sent me a message on Facebook asking how to go about creating a theme for the iPod touch/iPhone. Here’s a quick tutorial.

First, an overview of what images you’ll need to create.
Images Required
As you can see listed above, you’ll need to create Dock.png, StatusBar.png and Wallpaper.png. As well as an Icons folder. It should be noted that none of these are absolutely required, you can easily make a theme without a Wallpaper.png, etc.

Create a folder named after your theme, then store the files listed above in said folder.

More details after the jump.
