I know how to change mine, and I know everything was perfect before, because Ambroos and myself worked on it to figure it out... But after I updated to the new Glasser and Styler.. It broke... My bookmarks and tabs bars are both solid black, were as everything else is clear

Just repatch the glasser JS :) Updating unpatches it.

While I think that this looks very good, I find that it almost uses the Aero Glass feature a little too much. Is there a way to make the status bar the same as in Internet Explorer, along with the bookmark and tab bars? That would look a little better in my opinion. Keep up the good work!

Well then just use Glasser without stylish and without patching the JS. Using my mods is exactly what makes it so over-aero.

The second instruction is confusing. Here's how it should read (IMHO). :)

2) First, navigate to this directory

%AppData%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/**YourFirefoxProfileName**/extensions/[email protected]/chrome/content

Note that you can find %AppData% by typing it in a command prompt, but for most users it will probably be a hidden directory in this location "C:\Users\**YourVistaProfileName**\AppData\Roaming\"

Note also that if you are the only user in your account, then **YourFirefoxProfileName" will only be one (and it is weirdly named) in the above directory.

ONCE YOU FIND the right directory, then you will find an old dwm-overlay.js file there and then you...

Rename your old dwm-overlay.js to dwm-overlay.js.backup to back it up.

Copy my modified dwm-overlay.js over to the folder.

That fixed everything for me! I hope that helps. It took me a bit too.

BTW This theme is AWESOME. Bravo!!!! 8)

Thank you SO much! Very clear, theme is pretty sweet!! :)

Great work Ambroos , but too bad that it`s not working while Web Developer toolbar is installed . if u can fix this it will be awesome :)

Hmm.. That toolbar does bug 3.1 (beta) for me, but in 3.0.4 it doesn't bug all the theme. It does look bad... I think it's because the toolbars define their own background. Fixing this requires me to go edit the strata theme or the addons code, and I'm all but experienced at that, so I can't do that... Sorry!

Hey Ambroos, if it isn't too much aside from looking at Firefox 3.1 please check out this black area in this screenshot. This happens to all those smaller popups for certain pages. This happens to the plain Aero style as well, I'm using the SteelFlash Style if its necessary as well

Had a look at it, and it seems like that's something that has to be edited in the Javascript, and I don't understand anything of that file :p sorry!

I'm having the same issue as a few others, The tabs, bookmark, And half of the search bar is black and unglassed. If i open no tabs then it's fine.

I followed the instructions to the letter. And read every post posted so far. Nothing helping =/

Disabled every addon except stylish and glasser even, still no luck

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I am also using FireFox 3.0.5 and Glasser 1.0.16 if that effects anything

Thanks for this killer look!

But I'm trying to get the tab bar on top of the address bar (like chrome does). I've tried all the Stylish Userstyles for this and they work but leave that bottom border that is under the tab bar showing up against the address bar.

Could you please see if there is anything that can be done to remove this border form underneath the tab bar so that it is seamless integration to the glass?

Thanks!!! :D

Hi there!

Development at this stage is indeed done. I'm not good enough in Firefox coding stuff to do the more advanced things some people asked here... Sorry!

I will keep this style updated though, but as long as you don't hear anything from me it's still perfectly working on the latest (released) Firefox!

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.

      Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.

      All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....

      It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
