Mozilla Lab’s AURORA - THE FUTURE CONCEPT BROWSER.

What will browsing the web be like a decade from now?
Aurora is a concept video presenting one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Leading design and UI company Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept browser series. Aurora explores new ways people could interact with the Web in the future based on projected technological trends and real-world scenarios.Jesse James Garrett (the guy who coined the term AJAX) designed and narrated part one of a video series demonstrating what the future of the web might look like. There’s some gorgeous, imaginative, and high-tech stuff going on here

The release of Aurora is part of the launch of Mozilla Labs’ browser concept series, an ongoing initiative to encourage designers and developers to contribute their own visions of the future of the browser and the Web. Over the next couple of weeks, Adaptive Path will be releasing more video segments, as well as background material showing just what went into imagining the future of the Web and translating that into a video.

This tutorial introduces you to Visual Site Designer. When you first start the program, you’ll see a window that allows you to start a new Website from scratch, open a preexisting Website created with Visual Site Designer, or create a new Website from a theme. Choosing the theme option opens a window that allows you to browse the available themes. If you choose not to use a theme, you can cancel out of this window and create a new Website using the options under the File menu. To start a new Website, go to File and select New Website. This opens the New Website window, which allows you to enter information about your new Website. This includes the page title, which is the text displayed across the top of your user’s Internet browser, and the Page ID, which is the HTML filename of the page. You can also specify the page size by manually entering the dimensions or choosing a predefined size. You may also center your Website design. The next section allows you to choose a page background. Your options are a solid color, a picture, or a gradient fill. The final option allows you to set the color for visited and unvisited links on your Webpage.
