OK, now I've used it for a while, I've noticed a few things. I apologise if others ahve pointed these out, just thought I'd add my thoughts.

The colour of the text on the bookmark toolbar doesn't really fit with aero or Fx and is my one major (ok, so its not really huge) gripe.

Some of the favicons on the bookmark toolbar have a white border around them (i appreciate this isn't the fault of the the theme, but it is exacerbated and there might be ways to limit the impact, idk)

Otherwise, as i said before, I love it, really good work.

The favicons having a white border, can't do a thing about it... You can edit the favicons manually (some way, i think), but there's no way to do that...

The text colour: at the 4th # in the userstyle you can edit it. Example:

#main-window #navigator-toolbox #PersonalToolbar toolbarbutton > label
 {
	 color: red !important;
	 opacity: .90 !important;
 }

Wow, that looks bad.

Yeah, make sure you edited the files correctly, and have all other themes off except for the default one.

It was his GMail notifier that did it. Helped him trying to fix it. (It's fixed now)

Too bad they didn't have Vista at work. I would be running that on the XP box here. Looks cool though! I have always like semi-transparent apps and windows. :)

BTW, interesting effect if you run it in XP. (Mac as well, tried it a few days ago there for kicks)

Mind posting the interesting effect? Would love to see

This is what I have and the extensions I have going.

As for firefox plugins - Better Gmail2, Forecast fox (See that at bottom), IE TAB, Google Gears, and Stylish.

I can't do the Mac as I am at work, but pretty much does the same.

You need to have Windows Vista for this to work. XP won't work.

Read the bug report in the OP and realise that this is a known problem...

What mean OP?

If u add this script, status bar will be show but text doesnt looks nice.

haiz....... sadly it doesn't work properly at my firefox. i'm using vista home basic by the way.

is it a must to use vista with transparency (glass) effects? :s

post-259616-1223393253_thumb.jpg

can you possibly make this work for vista home basic as well?

i doubt that.. :(

I have no idea about making it work in Vista Home Basic, but I highly doubt it, as I don't think it's rendered the same way...

How Can I turn on status bar?

Add this to the stylish script:

/* Fixes a problem with ugly statusbar text*/ 

.statusbarpanel-text{ color: gray !important; opacity: 1 !important; }

edit:

this is for the findbar:

.findbar-find-fast{ color: white !important; opacity: 1 !important; }
.checkbox-label-box{ color: white !important; opacity: 1 !important; }

Does anybody know how to remove the separator between the statusbar icons?

You need a Vista with glass support. It will never work on Vista Home Basic because it just extends the area for glass to the navigation and tab bar. But your system doesn't support glass at all.

Hi there!

Thanks for all the good reply's! I'm glad you're all enjoying it!

I've updated the style today with some new bits I got, it's all in the original post, and done some cleaning!

I've also rewritten the original post, and it is now a lot clearer how to do everything.

Thank you all, and keep the downloads coming!

Ambroos

(PS: if anyone knows how to remove the status bar divider lines, please let me know!)

    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
