I’ve been using this theme for a while now and I thought I should pass it on to readers. If you are using Firefox, you are probably aware that you can install different themes to change the appearance of the browser. While searching for ways to improve my touchscreen experience on the UX, I happened across a theme called Kempelton Large. This theme provides you with large buttons that make it easy to tap with a finger for touchscreen users.

Some of you may use your UMPC as a mobile device as well as a desktop unit; obviously you won’t need the large buttons when your device is hooked up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Luckily there are two easy ways to reclaim that screen real estate that you lose when using the larger buttons. The first option is switching back to the default theme which can be done in as little as four mouse clicks - Tools > Add-ons > Themes (if already selected, eliminate this mouse click) > Firefox (default) > Use Theme. The only problem I find with this method is that Firefox has to be restarted to switch to the default theme, fortunately there is an even easier way to solve this problem. Just do the following - Right-Click (in an empty area on a Firefox toolbar) > Customize > check off “Use Small Icons”, now you have reduced the size of the icons very quickly for when you don’t need them to accommodate your finger. Combine this theme with the Grab and Drag add-on and you have yourself a very nice touchscreen browser.
