Should have been posted above, guess I missed one.

Change menu button text (from Minefield to Firefox or whatever you want to edit it to say)

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

NP. Also, I took the liberty of cleaning up your toolbar code, too, since it's not using the aqua elements anymore; I was toying around with a red one. (This is with the blue gradient, though)

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar
{
border-top: 0 none !important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(58,127,197,1), rgba(47,119,189,1), rgba(0,58,229,1)) !important;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px !important;
color: white !important;
}

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar toolbarbutton
{
padding: 0 5px !important;
}

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar toolbarbutton > label
{
color: white !important;
}

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar > toolbaritem > menubar > menu > label
{
color: white !important;
}

Here even cleaner ;) 

#PersonalToolbar {
  border-top: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(58,127,197,1), rgba(47,119,189,1), rgba(0,58,229,1)) !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
}

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

Me too! :D I just picked out the parts that didn't make sense and previewed after each change to make sure it didn't break anything.

@Soapy: Thx! Now... how bout that new split menu my Jedi powers reveal you're secretly working on?

Seeing as how they scrapped the idea of the dual pane Idea I was going to take the menu I built for StrataBuddy and port that over. It will have to come in the form of an addon because it contains xul and javascript. Once I make some real progress I'll update you.

Had to use this, because the one SoapyHamHocks did, although simple and cleaner, makes a lot of the dialog text white within options, bookmarks menu etc :p

If you are bored, can you help me change home button & app tabs to the selected background color, because I don't like the transparent behavior.

I wanna move the menu button more to the left side and make the active tabs in the same transparency

as the toolbar, how do I do that?

post-251611-12795410025305.png

EDIT: nevermind the menu button, I fixed that one. ;)

I just need help with the tabs transparency.

This should do it:

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] .tabbrowser-tab[pinned="true"] {
  background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(center top, white, rgba(255,255,255,0) 60%),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px,
                                               rgba(255,255,255,.5) 1px, rgba(255,255,255,.5)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px,
                                               -moz-dialog 1px, -moz-dialog) !important;
}

Also the code I posted earlier should not change anything in the options window at all. It has to do with the code you originally posted, you had:

tab:not([selected="true"]) {
color: white !important;
}

it should be 

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]) {
color: white !important;
}

Just a quick style, will add hover/pressed states eventually.

Neat! Added.

Edit: That breaks the stop/reload button tweak, here it is together:

#stop-button[disabled="true"] { display:none; } 
#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button { display:none; }
/* Hide bookmark star in addressbar */
toolbar #star-button{
display:none !important;
}
/* Remove live feed icon in Address url toolbar */
#feed-button 
{
 display: none !important;
}
#urlbar-container + #reload-button,
#urlbar-container + #reload-button + #stop-button{
  border: 1px solid !important;
  border-color: rgba(0,0,0,.25) rgba(0,0,0,.32) rgba(0,0,0,.37) rgba(0,0,0,.15) !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 0 4px 4px 0!important;  
  -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.1) inset,

  padding: 0 3px 0 3px !important;
}

#urlbar {
  -moz-border-radius: 4px 0 0 4px !important;
  border-right: 0 !important;
}

Hey thanks, I installed it, but wouldn't it be better to have the default hover state?

Default

Hmm would be difficult, maybe just make it lighter or something? I like how the stop button goes Red :)

I tried to copy the mockups for that one as seen here. I will end up tweaking it some more.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
