How to Add Color to Facebook Posts
By default, your Facebook posts have a white or light blue background, but you can change this to another shade of your choice using a Firefox add-on. An add-on is a mini application you install on your Firefox browser; an add-on for Facebook gives you the tools to alter the presentation of how Facebook appears to you in your own browser window. Using the add-on of your choice you can color your Facebook posts to create the view you desire.
