Please click here to be redirected and enjoy your Firefox, with glass!

All-Glass Firefox v2

LINKY LINK!

please use this version from now on!

All-Glass Firefox v1 for FF3.0.x (discontinued)

It makes all Firefox' frame glass, and looks really neat in Vista! It is getting close to completion, with a lot of help from g4rb4g3 who fixed all the status and search bar issues!

The Modified glasser JS and the original idea both come from Jordoex. Click here to see his original post.

You only need to update your Stylish theme. The glasser JS remains the same!

What changes did you stylish userstyle make?

Edit: I use Tab Mix Plus to change the text colour on tabs, if that is any good to you for now.

Without the Userstyle it looks like this

The modified glasser script makes transparant Interface elements glass, the stylish makes all interface elements transparant.

That's not the same page, so I cant really compare the two!

I think you don't get it. Userstyles can also edit the Firefox User Interface, it doesn't only do websites...

Just look at the difference between my Firefox frames...

Heh, I've been messing around with this for about an hour. My question to you though; is there a way to just have the tab background transparent? That's what I've been trying to get today, just the tab background to have the glasser effect.

There is a way, but that's got to be changed in your theme. Just change your regular tab background with some transparant PNG, or use the inactive one. You can then change the text on the tabs to white/leave it black...

whats the name of the style.. maybe I can search for it and find it that way?

hmm when I go to userstyles.org I get this message up top:

This site has changed hosts. This is the old host. We're having problems with our DNS and hope to get it resolved soon. Until then, you can use the old host all you like, just don't bother posting comments or styles, because they won't make it to the new host. You'll know you're on the new host when you no longer see this ugly message :)

Pretty sure that's why I can't see your style. How do I get it to refresh to the new host?

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
