Australis for Firefox

[SoapyHamHocks Member]

Here is my issue with bookmark tab

That's by design. The functionality was combined into the bookmarks menu button, if you wish to show it use this code:

#star-button {
visibility: visible !important;
}

Just add that line to the end of your userChrome.css file, or you can add it to a new style in Stylish. You can find more info about userChrome.css here http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

This works for Classic tabs:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-stack {
  margin: 0 -3px 0 !important;
  padding: 0 2px 1px !important;
  border-width: 0 9px !important;
  border-style: solid !important;
  -moz-border-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/mrcurveless.png) 0 9 fill !important;
}[/CODE]

Went back to 'classic tabs' using this stylish script (thanks by the way) but every time I close/restart Nightly it reverts back to the curved tabs, even though the 'classic tabs' stylish script is still enabled. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Do you have both classic tab styles enabled?

Nevermind, I had the stylish script which made Australis compatible with Nightly 12.0a1 enabled (which I don't seem to need anymore), disabled that and it's working. Thanks for trying to help.

The panels don't seem to be styled (Aero look). I was able to get it fixed with a fresh profile but it only worked for a day for some reason. I only have Australis, Tabs Always In Titlebar, Adblock Plus, and Omnibar installed.

Also is there any way to have the identity box to look like the default (abeit with a light soft gradient)?

Sidenote: Do you have any plans for an OS X version? I also have a Mac and wouldn't mind testing it out for you.

Much appreciated, thanks.

I've never experienced this, do you have a custom Windows theme?

I've added the default idbox, but I haven't had time to fully bug test and release it yet.

No OS X version is planned. As far as I know the UX builds on Mac OS X have a lot of the Australis design implemented already.

Latest UX build on OS X (from January 13th):

As a comparison: Yesterday's Nightly on OS X:

Yes it seems my custom Windows theme was messing with the panels.

I'm sorry if I've missed something or appear ignorant, but is there a way to run Australis on the nightly/UX builds with 'classic' tabs at the moment? Cheers!

Yep, i'm running it. Use this script in stylish (not created by me):

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-stack {
  margin: 0 -3px 0 !important;
  padding: 0 8px 1px !important;
  border-width: 0 9px !important;
  border-style: solid !important;
  -moz-border-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/mrcurveless.png) 0 9 fill !important;
}

You may also need to install the "checkCompatibility" add-on to force Australis to work with nightly (I have this installed).

[Jub]

Hmm, I tried either that or something similar and it didn't work. I'll have a look tomorrow, perhaps reset my profile or something. Thanks for your reply. :)

Is this theme still being worked on? Because the newtab page isn't displayed correctly when using Australis (works fine with default theme).

The ACTUAL firefox theme is in works though .. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2012-02-01#UX_.26_User_Research

The design is being worked at at the ux builds but it will not land untill a bug is fixed, and yes it's a nasty bug I'm following for around a few months by now :p

Nothing has been done on it in a few weeks, but it isn't dead yet. I'd like to redo a lot of things, but I haven't found the time to do a rewrite.

Maybe you could include this theme in Stratisform also, would be nice?

Is there a way to remove the small "squares" about each letting in the awesomebar, when typing letters. For instance when I type "F" it has these small light blue sqaures around all the "Fs" inside the awesomebar.

[bogas04]

Can you update your theme with latest design to see how it actually works and feels like?

PS : Also remove menu button and make it a settings button ?

[dysgenics]

is it possible to change the tab strip background like that as well?

[SoapyHamHocks Member]

I have no plans to update this. I've been asked to implement some parts of the mockups in Firefox. I've started working on a patch which should hopefully land in the near future.

[DCY012]

I'm having compatibility issues using UX.

Anyone happen to know how to fix this?

I can reproduce this issue. Looking into fixing it now.

Edit: this is most likely due to the moz-border-image changes.

Edit2: This should work for the default curved tabs:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-stack {
  border-width: 0 28px !important;
  border-style: solid !important;
  -moz-border-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/mrcurve.png) 0 28 fill !important;
}

The problem is I don't think I can have support for both Firefox stable/aurora and Nightly at this point because of the changes.

Thanks. I'm new to this though so would you mind telling me how to add this?
