This one is better then the one from bobp and me :p

Edit: in the FireFox beta there is no box around hoverd toolbar buttons, is there a way I can remove that in this theme as well?

Edited by Capric0rn

@foobah:The go button is the same as in the beta, it looks non-alligned because of the address bar image from your VS.

But that's because the image of the Go button, they made it that way :p

@Cody: could you fix the RSS icons?

Yep :) That's why I want to know how to remove the mouseover box from the visual style.

Because if you've used the beta you'll know that there is no mouseover box.

I dont know if you understand this but the beta users know what I'm talking about :p

Anyways the white box you see is the toolbar button image from the visual style that you are using.

When I know how to tweak it to disable that (iCandy toolbar for FireFox doesnt have those mouseover boxes) I'm going to see what I can do for the LE5 users.

We are in your hands! :D

I hope someone can help me with it :p

I asked it in a FireFox skinning thread on Aquasoft but they didn't reply there yet.

Anyway i have try to change vs but the mouseover box is always there! It's not a problem only of LE5 vs, probably first i understood wrong! :).

I have found this big image preview of firefox 2 theme :)

I'll see what I can do about the RSS icon, looks like something I should be able to do.

As for the box around the Go button, what themes are yall using that give it that box? In Classic it looks right. Is the Go button the only one that gives this box? The Forward, Back etc buttons dont give me the box when i hover over them, but are yall getting the boxes around them too?

Cody

EDIT: I don't know what i can change in the seach bar, probably nothing since i dont know of a search button type thing in 1.5

EDIT 2: can someone post a screen shot of the rss thing yall are talking about? the one thats after the url in the address bar seems to be the same in the beta and the theme

Edited by Cody

new version: http://www.sendspace.com/file/kqb6im

I recommend uninstalling the previous version before using this one.

I worked on the theme some and turned on the XP visual style and it looks like I removed the hoverbox for everything but the main Forward and Back buttons which I am still working on.

The go button should also work better with other themes now.

I don't have the file modded so that I can use 3rd party visual styles but if there are still any problems except for the hover box on the Forward/Back buttons let me know.

Cody

It's better then the previous releas :)

One glitch I found is that the right url part moves to left when I press the go button.

And the RSS icons arent fixed yet.

Aside form that this theme works better then the other ones :)

:wacko: This sounds like a fun one to fix. What theme are you using?

And the RSS icons arent fixed yet.

Can you post a screen shot of what icon you are talking abut?

EDIT: fixed the problem with the go button, it wasnt as bad as i thought it was

Edited by Cody

Hey, great job, but two things:

1) When I press the "go" button, the address bar seems to move up a bit then down again.

2) When History or Bookmarks is opened, the icon has a white empty part around it. (see image)

Other then that, great work. :)

edit: one other thing, if I use gmail notifier from the navigation toolbar, then after I log in, the toolbar becomes smaller.

I've got a menu with RSS feeds in it, here is a screenie of what I meen:

I could post the moddified icon from version of the theme.

Cause that was fixed in my version.

Altough it works fine in the urlbar, so I hope it's possible to assing a different icon for those menu items :)

@Al

I am getting the same thing with the Go button, ill try to get it knocked out later today.

For the background on the History and Bookmarks buttons, thats how it looks in the beta version of 2.0, I think its just trying to show a depressed state for that button.

Can you explain more/post a screenshot about the Gmail notifier.

@Capric0rn

Thanks for the screen, I'll look into it.

Cody

very good stuff. one suggestion though, should you edit your first post so everyone downloads the most updated version rather than scrolling through the thread looking for updates?

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.

In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!

    • This whole dumb age verification thing needs to die and be replaced by giving parents tools to control devices. Why am I required to plaster my ID all over the internet to prove I'm old enough when parents should be the ones dictating what their kids are doing on their phones. Apple released great set of tools for iPhones coming to iOS 27 that do just that. Why are governments not mandating that kind of control to phone makers to built them into phones. This whole thing is so absolutely idiotic it's wild.
