Windows 8 Aero Auto-Colorization

The next new feature of the upcoming Windows 8 operating system has been revealed: Windows Aero Auto-Colorization. What does it mean? It basically means that Aero will change the colorization of Windows automatically based on the underlying color. If you have green background, for instance a green desktop wallpaper, then the window color will also be set to colors in that spectrum.

The same is true for other colors. The change is accessible in the Personalization > Windows Color menu. Take a look at the screenshot below to see how the new menu looks like.

It will take some getting used to if you are using a desktop slide show with wallpaper background changing every minute (example) and the Windows Colorization of start menu, task bar, windows explorer is changing along with it.

Firefox has hundreds of Pesonas that fill out your display beyond the browser with different backgrounds and colors .

How will this colorization feature affect the Firefox Personas or won't it?

I don't think Firefox Personas will have any effect with the Auto-colorization for the fact that Firefox is not integrated into Windows.
