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;
}

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Case_f · Posted

      My problem with these smart scopes is that IMO they're not really an entrance into astronomy, they're an entrance to looking at pretty(ish) pictures that you take by essentially pressing a button and letting the scope do the work. I still maintain that getting some binoculars or a solid dedicated telescope (which doesn't have to mean expensive) and actually spending time learning the night sky and using a telescope is a much better way to actually learn. But, granted, the learning curve is a bit steeper (as it tends to be).

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Legend20 · Posted

      The perception of Microsoft Edge is unfortunate as it's a world class browser. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's the best browser I've ever used with its feature set, speed, reliability and advanced security. Running the extension Ublock Origin is a must though to deal with advertising and trackers.
