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

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

Firstly you need "stylish" add on...

And the code you need is right there

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

      "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes or combining meshes, generating a thorough PSO cache to allow shader pre-compilation and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly and no the engine can't do all that for you that's not how any of this works.
