I'd like the code to get rid of the white toolbar also.

No no. It is the text of the menu-bar which I want to turn white. lol.

Here is the code to get rid of the white background: 

/* Makes the menubar background transparent when using the Glasser extension */

#toolbar-menubar {
  background: none !important;
}

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #file-menu,
#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #edit-menu,
#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #view-menu,
#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #history-menu,
#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #bookmarksMenu,
#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #tools-menu,
#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #helpMenu {
   color: #FFFFFF !important;
}

Hope that helps you?

Yeah, the glasser ext. breaks the rounded look. Any chance of fixing it 6XGate

I think it looks much better without the rounded look when it is glass. I'm sure 6XGate has done it on purpose to make it look better and the location and search bars look amazing with this extesion, the way they have that slight glow on the outside, etc.

I have to agree... makes it look more native :)

are you going to put the extension on mozilla.org?

I will when AMO will actually except the Firefox version range in the extension.

Just to give everyone a heads up about a userstyle I came across for the Stylish extension.

It changes the who of the UI (icons, throbber, etc) to look exactly like (or 90% similar to, lol) Internet Explorer 7! (and let's face it, if you want native, you can't get more native than that ;))

It only works if you have both Glasser and Firefox 3 installed.

I like it, it really does look so much like IE7 and very native; however, I am not currently using it, because I don't care about it being toooo native and I love Firefox 3's default theme at the moment. The only thing that could have made this style better would have been to give it a tab-bar just like IE7's (although that has nothing to do with nativity - it was just a UI style chosen by MS... it's the glass and icons that are nativity :p)

Here is a link to the userstyle: http://userstyles.org/styles/7359

It will look better on yours than it does on the screenshot believe me ;)

Yeah I LOVE this user style, the native vista back forward buttons loom MUCH better than mozilla's. I understand the concept of the keyhole thing but those icons just aren't very good quality, they are kind of blurry and seem rushed, although the rest of the firefox icons are alright.

meh, I was thinking that the back and forward buttons looked fine (the keyhole thing only, because the 'small' size sucks), and I hated all the other ones

Ever since the "vista skin" debuted, I wondered whey the hell would they go for "all blue" icons. Weeks later, I fired up windows media player and the answer was right on front of my eyes.

With glasser, the blue icons make a little more sense. But I'm sure something like the tango icons would look even better :D

Brilliant.

Can anybody please give me the CSS code to make the text of the menubar white please?

The code in the last thread doesn't seem to be working for me.

Thanks.

This is the code i'm using in Stylish, but you should also be able to add it to the UserChrome...

#toolbar-menubar .menubar-text
{
color: white !important;
}

    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      By zikalify · Posted

      Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups by Paul Hill Fears that increasing government control of social media risks regulatory capture by the biggest social media firms were raised again recently. Bluesky’s chief operating officer said in an interview that social media bans for children and tighter regulations for social media firms risk creating a world where there are only a few social media platforms run by companies with the deepest pockets. Regulations on social media firms have been very lax since they appeared for mainstream users in the 2000’s. This gave Meta, Snapchat, and Google time to build up their user bases and get entrenched, with Meta being the most successful. Now that Meta has succeeded, it has been attempting regulatory capture. By pushing for more regulations of social media, Meta hopes to make it more difficult for rivals to challenge it. For its part, it doesn’t need to worry about the cost of regulation because it has a lot of money to spend, whereas startups do not. Speaking to CNBC, Rose Wang, Bluesky’s chief operating officer, said: “I support the protection and the safety of youth, the question that we have then is at what cost, because essentially what I’m scared of is in the long term, we’re headed to a world where there’s about three to five platforms, and extreme heavy regulation of those platforms, and basically the whole compliance teams of these platforms are 10 times the size of our entire team. So, basically, we’re living in a world where it’s almost impossible for smaller entrants to come in and build healthier spaces. These platforms have led to a place where the bottom line is the thing that drives what they do... so I understand why governments have to step in and regulate, because the platforms have done nothing right.” She said that while she is not against regulation, there needs to be more channels between the small to mid-sized players and regulators to help protect them. She says that big tech players, on the other hand, “who we know are circumventing regulation,” need to be regulated. Essentially, the Bluesky position is one of nuance, rather than absolutes. While Bluesky’s proposal may preserve competition in the social media space, it still doesn’t address the massive privacy implications these age verification measures introduce, such as handing over sensitive identity documents to access age-gated content.
