I absolutely love it. My only issue is that I can't use any of the custom menu buttons I've made or change the text in the menu button to read "Firefox" even though I'm using Minefield. I'm sure this is due to the method we were using to do that; they were dropmarker arguments, and you've somehow removed the dropmarker in your theme (which looks really good, it's just inconvenient for my scripts). Any ideas on how we could manipulate the menu button text in Stylish while using this theme? Or is there some code we could use to bring the dropmarker back?

Post the code you're using and I'll get it working.

The most basic version would probably be

#appmenu-button .button-text { display:none !important; }
#appmenu-button dropmarker:before { content: "Firefox" !important; }

. If I had an alternative to this I could use it with everything else.

Alright, I think I removed some code in the theme. I'll see what I can do.

Good enough, I should be able to work with that. Thanks a lot!

Update: Well, it kind of works; when I plugged it into my Phoenix button script it put the text before the icon instead of after.

Update 2: Changed "before" to "after" and it worked ;)

Can someone help me make the bookmarks Bar Aero and make the text more visible while its Aero. Also make it a little slimmer than it is by default to go with the theme.

So far I have this. Most of it I picked up from SoapyHamHocks post earlier.

#PersonalToolbar {
  border-top: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(255,255,255,.1)) !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
}

#PersonalToolbar .bookmark-item:not(menuitem){
  color: white !important;
  padding: 0 5px !important;
}

What about something like this?

#PersonalToolbar {
  border: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass !important;
  background: transparent !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
  margin: -4px 0 1px 0 !important;
}

#PersonalToolbar .bookmark-item:not(menuitem){
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(255,255,255,.75),
               0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3) !important;
}

Thanks that worked beautifully! oh one more thing is there a way to make the active tab stand out more maby make it darker? I really cant tell the difference right now.

I hope we are allowed to give opinions. :)

To start off, for an alpha this is great. I'm utilizing the stylish add-ons you posted, as well as renaming my Minefield to show the current nightly date I'm using. All in all, it's great but I think some things need to be changed. Transparency is a bit too extreme for my tastes and on darker backgrounds the text becomes almost unreadable (including the bookmarks). Active/Inactive tabs need work as well as they are almost indistinguishable. Finally, I understand the whole white button concept, but I think the App Tabs look really off in their current state, especially when you add your own custom url App Tabs as they are in color.

Other than that, it looks great and I'm glad you decided to release it in it's current state. It's definitely usable. :D

SoapyHamHocks: I tried your new reload/stop buttons on URL bar, but it doesn't seem to work with this theme. Do you have a version for this theme?

Thanks for the feedback :) I know some things need to be changed. We need to think of some other ways to do the tabs and reduce some of the transparency in the theme. I could cook up a simple combined reload/stop script if you want, but we wanted to hold off until we made some slightly smaller reload/stop icons.

Edit: I noticed you're using "small icons" mode, I would suggest you don't for now :p I haven't worked on that at all so its a bit cramped.

SoapyHamHocks can you please write me a quick script to differentiate between Active and Non active tabs?? I really wanna use this theme but this problem is almost a deal braker. Thanks

It's fine, I can wait. There's no need to make you do more work when it's not a big deal at all.

I went to normal icons, but went right back, lol. It is a little cramped now that you say so, but it's perfectly usable as is. :)

Here you go, its simple but works for now.

toolbar[mode="icons"][currentset*="urlbar-container,reload-button,stop-button"] #urlbar {
  -moz-border-radius: 2px 0 0 2px !important;
  border-right: 0 !important;
}

#urlbar-container + #reload-button,
#urlbar-container + #reload-button + #stop-button{
  border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.35) !important;
  border-left: 0 !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 0 2px 2px 0 !important;  
  -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.4) !important;
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.90) !important;
  margin-left: -3px !important;
  background-clip: padding-box !important;
}

#urlbar-container + #reload-button {
  padding: 0 4px 0 4px !important;
}

#urlbar-container + #reload-button + #stop-button {
  padding: 0 4px 0 5px !important;
}

Alright, I'll try a few things.

Edit: Do you think this makes it any better?

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.20) -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.30),
                                         rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.20) -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.30),
                                         rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%) !important;
}

It Make a very slight Difference but its still not very clear.

Try this:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.20) -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.53),
                                         rgba(255,255,240,0) 144%) !important;
}

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
