ThemeSurfer is a total conversion and enhancement of Internet Explorer.  A browser add-on for Microsoft Internet Explorer, ThemeSurfer lets you apply themes to your Internet environment just like Microsoft PLUS applies a desktop theme to your Windows environment. ThemeSurfer is the only Internet transportation device of its kind - designed to give you control and choice, to truly reflect your interests, personality, and destinations.

No other browser technology can give you the level of personalization that ThemeSurfer can: you decide what it looks like, what it sounds like, and where it goes.

What is a SurferTheme?

SurferThemes are more than just static pictures and one-dimensional sound clips.  ThemeSurfer themes, referred to as 'SurferThemes' can go much further.  SurferThemes differ from Desktop themes in the following ways:

Graphics: You control the look completely with graphic control of the buttons, backgrounds and screens.  Support for gif, jpg, bmp, and sequential files.

Audio: ThemeSurfer uses the direct DirectAudio component of DirectX to bring you awesome, multi-channel sound with loop-able ambiance and load percentage sounds.

Destinations: SurferThemes include the ability to link to live content on the web!  The main browser window along with the 3 sliding panels can all be connected to the URL of your choice - either local or remote.  This takes the Theme concept to a whole new level.  Users and theme developers can now create themes that directly link to theme-relevant web material!  Your Harley Davidson theme can have links to all the motorcycle WebPages and your baseball theme can link to your favorite team websites.  Push the envelop far enough here and an extensive theme can actually be a subject matter Portal.

Actions: ThemeSurfer buttons can be configured many ways and ordered the way you want.  Make a button launch your word processor, mail program, or default browser.   Developers can even create custom executables to ship with and link to their themes!  Button actions also control basic internet navigation functions.
