[Ext] Glasser - Add Vista Glass to Firefox

[Warboy]

Heres what my firefox looks like after glasser + stylish, Btw great work!

[primexx]

what's the code for your bookmark bar?

also: in the glasser extras there are Vista-style bookmark bar backgrounds -moz-win-media-toolbox etc,

anyone have the code for the original win7 explorer toolbar bar background?

Alright folks, just released a new version (1.1.0) for Firefox 3.1 Beta. It includes the following:

NEW: Glasser 1.1 for Firefox 3.1

NEW: Added shadows behind toolbar buttons

NEW: Added shadows behind menu text

FIXED: Weird bug in Firefox makes URL and search box look odd.

* Removed margin on identity box, it seems that it is no longer needed.

If you folks, don't like the shadows I've added to the toolbar buttons and menus, I'll ask anyone who has added the same effect for their version. Because of a change in the -moz-background-clip with -moz-border-radius properties... making the borders rounded did something weird to the background so I removed the rounding. If anyone knows a fix so I can bring that back, please do tell.

Please note that the screenshot is from many modification I've made to the tabs and personal bar that isn't included in the theme. I've attached the CSS files needed to reproduce it in this post.

the code for the bookmark bar is in the styles.zip here primexx

hey thanks!

so i tried it and it didn't look the way I wanted, so I ended up encoding my own graphic for the bookmark bar and borrowing code from the glasser extras and styles zips.

Could someone please upload the GlasserExtras.zip here because the Sixxgate site seems to be down.

Latest Shiretoko nightlies broke Glasser 1.1, starting with 20090204 I believe.

Firstly you need "stylish" add on...

And the code you need is right there

[primexx]

looking through the mozillazine topic I saw the code to change the status bar, played around with it, IE8's tabbar background actually looks pretty well for it.

Been trying to recompile the x64 version with some changes to get it working with the latest nightlies. Building keeps spitting out an error about not being able to find .\x64\Debug\CDwmCalls.obj. :/

Version 1.1.1 is now out and it's fixed up for Firefox 3.1b3. It also fixes the identity box margin problem as well.

Also please note that I've also create a support forum on Sleeping Cats for Glasser which will be the place I check first for support issues.

Thank you for continuing to develop this extension, update it and provide support to our community, 6XGate! :)

It really is a big help and, to be honest, I don't think I would be able to bring myself to use Firefox without Glasser.

This is for x64 builds of Firefox not x64....

And, do, pray tell...where do we get an x64 version of Firefox?!

[vajlent]

How do I make it work with 3.0.7?

[Lamp0]

my bad I posted the wrong style, I just accidentally copied the wrong one.

this will fix it:

#identity-box
{
margin-left: -0px !important;
}

#identity-box > hbox
{
border-left-width: 0 !important;
}

How do you get Back/Forward buttons to align properly? I have tried many different things, but they are always slightly unaligned.

[6XGate]

Try the version on AMO

So, where can one get an x64 version of Firefox..?!

awesome, this has prompted me to check whether my other extensions are compatible with 3.1b3, and they all either support it already, or have beta builds that support it, or work fine after version override. so now i'm on 3.1b3 full time :D

Well folks, I have now replaced the GlasserExtras.zip file with the Glasser Extras Forum. Also Added a few new CSS fragments to it too.

After upgrading to a new build of Windows 7, glasser no longer functions properly. Any way to remedy this?

[Ausaitis]

Glasser works fine with all builds of fx upto 3.6a1pre. You just have to edit the install.rdf file in the xpi file and change the <em:maxVersion>(I have put 3.6 here)3.6a1pre</em:maxVersion>.

The rounded corners on the identity box can be overcome by adding:

#identity-box{
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px !important;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 0px !important;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0px !important;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0px !important;
}

to your userchrome.css

Strictly speaking you probably will only need top and bottom left.

If you want to get some further transparency in the frame and borders do this:

Open Regedit and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

Create a new DWORD Value registry value, and named it as HideBlur. Set the value data of ?HideBlur? to 1.

Restart and you should be able to see through the frames and borders of open windows.

The favicon in the address bar is messed up in the new firefox 3.5 preview, anyone with stylish skills wanna fix it? The fix above doesn't work, it removes the round part but it looks all messed up still.

Address bar bug:

With fix(still messed up)

[primexx]

specifying each corner's radius separately is pointless, use this:

#identity-box {
 -moz-border-radius:0 !important;
 margin-left:-1px !important;
}

[ViperAFK]

still messed up on the top and bottom of the address bar favicon:

Never mind fixed it mostly except the right side with pure guest work adding on to primexxes code:

EDIT: it did break my reload button though...

#identity-box {
-moz-border-radius:0 !important;
margin-left:-2px !important;
margin-top:-2px !important;
margin-bottom:-2px !important;
}

[primexx]

hmm after copying my profile to win7 i noticed the border standing out...try this:

#identity-box {
 border:0 !important;
 -moz-border-radius:0 !important;
 margin-left:-1px !important;
}

it looks fine now on both vista and win7 for me.

adding:

height:22px !important;

looks even better here.
