This is a theme I'm working on based on these mockups by Stephen Horlander. Mostly everything is working so far including the conditional forward-button. I still need a name, any ideas? I'm currently just using the name 'Strata Austra'.

Also feel free to post comments based on the implementation of the style, not the style it self as I didn't create it.

As usual you are faster than Mozilla in making a working skin from their mockups :D

Thanks :cool: You could say I cheated a bit because I had access to the PSD.

Is it possibly to make this available for OS X too?

I will attempt to make a Mac OS version as well. I'm just not sure if I can move the elements into the titlebar.

Give the first alpha a try and let me know how it goes guys. Expect bugs, lots and lots of bugs.

To use the conditional forward button:

  • Open Customize Toolbar dialog
  • Drag a 'space' between 'forward' and 'urlbar'

To move the tabs into the titlebar use https://addons.mozil...ys-in-titlebar/

the curved tabs are really strange... it does bring a lot of attention to the tabs and I don't know if that is a good thing.

and I will note please do not use this with stratiform it made it look really funny! I LOLed.

No forward button?

There is, unless you go with the Tabs Always in Titlebar addon and the other steps. RemixedCat's screenshot shows how it appears otherwise. It looks like the standard Firefox theme but with the new tabs, which I really like.

Is it possible to get this theme as a script for the userChrome.css instead. That way I could get the default Firefox button back.

When you say default do you mean normal size when maximized? Other than that it is the same button.

My tabs don't appear in the titlebar? :unsure: Do I need to do that manually or is something else wrong?

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
