It it possible to turn of aero in certain parts? I do not want the tabs and the bookmark to be in aero. I'd like the have the rest including the status bar in aero. Is there a setting somewhere that I can check boxes to turn certain parts?

Not there right now.. Sorry!

I made some alterations to the javascript, which I'll post here so you can use, if you want.

Basically the changes involve;

-glassing full screen on key press (F12), although it's very slow

-glassing the sidebars (with some stylish code to glass them, which I can't get to work properly in overlay.css atm)

-changed the way the statusbar is skinned, basically implemented the commented out code so it skins to the top regardless of what is in the statusbar area.

-changed the overlay.css so it glasses custom toolbars.

12eason: Dumb question.... But how would one install that? I get the stylish script, but the javascript and css files, what would I do of them?
Sorry. Forgot about that;

Once you have All-Glass v2 installed, rename two of the attached files to dwm-overlay.js and overlay.css. Then navigate to your firefox profile directory, then 'extensions', '[email protected]' then 'chrome. There you'll have two directories, dwm-overlay.js resides in 'content' and overlay.css is in 'skin/classic'. Don't forget to backup the old files.

Later on today I'll get around to updating the sidebar code so it glasses to the separator's x value, that should fix problems with extensions like all-in-one that add toolbars to the sidebar that aren't part of the sidebar box.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to make the scrollbar on the right side of the screen transparent? that would be an awesome touch

i modded my firefox with a different theme on top of allglasser

looks awesome imo

Not sure if it can be done. I did have a mess around with some stylish scripts which removed the scrollbar completely, but I didn't come across any that made it transparent :( Having said that, the scripts didn't seem to work for every site either.

I've just done this, although with the standard version of all-glass, the scrollbars just become transparent to the page. With my small modifcation in full glass mode, the scrollbars get glassed. I'm going to take a look at the javascript later, but I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to get the glass to cover just the outer scrollbars.

Anyway, stylish code is, for flat scrallbars;

The biggest problem I'm having with this is that it's even making webpages transparent. How do I fix this?

It shouldn't be doing that. The only thing that might cause it to do that is having an element of the toolbox moved down to the statusbar. I know there are a few stylish mods that do that, are you running one of those?

Found the problem, and it happens to be one of my favourite add-ons: "Tab Kit 0.5.5", basically it shows tabs on the side, like a side bar, rather than across the top. it made browsing easier, since I tend to have multiple tabs open of the same site, and it acts like tree style, and works better than Tree Style tab in my opinion. Any chance of that getting fixed?

Yep, removing the tabheight variable should do it. Here, rename the attached file to dwm-overlay.js and move it to your profile/extensions/glasser@sixxgate/chrome/content directory.

You could quite easily also change the tabheight variable to a boxObject.width property and put it on the left side, so the side tabs get glassed. But you'd need to make a skin for it too.

New release! for Firefox 3.5b99: All-Glass Firefox 2.1.1

Contains some bugfixes!

Don't upgrade if you're running 3.5b4, this one is specific for b99 (can be downloaded here).

Very important!

You HAVE to uninstall your current version first! For Mozilla Addons I had to create a new GUID, not uninstalling any older version of Glasser or my All-Glass mod will produce problems!

Download version 2.1.1

Hey guys, does anyone know how to make the scrollbar on the right side of the screen transparent? that would be an awesome touch
I have rewritten the javascript to adapt to the scrollbars now, as well as various other changes, but I don't think I should post it here as it's too confusing having different versions flying about. (and I suppose the copyright thing too, lol)

Fresh install of Windows 7 and Firefox 3.5b99 with All-Glass 2.1.1.

When I hover over the "List all tabs" drop-down, it seems like the text in the active tab is pushed down 1 to 2px, which then pushes the entire upper border of the content frame down the same distance.

Secondly, I've noticed that there's no padding for icons and such that appear in the status bar, whereas without the All-Glass add-on, those items seem to be more vertically centered. Without that type of positioning, the bottom border of Firefox looks bloated; much larger than it needs to be.

Lastly, when I have 'browser.tabs.closeButtons' in about:config set to 3 (Creates a single close button to the right of "List all tabs" drop-down and removes the close buttons from the tabs), the background of the single close button isn't glassed.

Also, would it be possible to add an options menu to enable and disable glass styles for various areas of Firefox? I know I would love to prevent the tabs from being glassed (Which would negate the need to glass that close button I just complained about).

I'm not good at coding, and the fact that the entire border of the viewport gets pushed down when hovering the list all tabs button is known, and I have no idea how to fix it.

I'm sorry, but I really can't help you with that... Though, if you don't want the tab bar to get glassed, you might want to try the normal glasser extension. ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7336 )

12eason how did you get the tiny globe icon on the bottom left most of your status bar ?

try this to fix the transparent text

FORM *:not([name="q"]):not([type="submit"]):not([type="button"]):not([class="gac_m"]) 
{
 background: transparent !important; 
}

.gac_m
{
padding-top: 20px !important;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4) !important;
opacity: 0.99 !important;
}
.g
{
text-shadow: steelblue 1px 1px 10px,
black 1px 1px 10px,
white 1px 1px 10px !important;
opacity: 0.99 !important;
}

#res .g a:hover 
{
text-shadow: steelblue 1px 1px 10px,
steelblue 1px 1px 10px,
lime 1px 1px 10px !important;
opacity: 0.99 !important;
}


input *
{
color: white !important;
font-weight: bolder!important;
text-shadow: steelblue 1px 1px 10px,
steelblue 1px 1px 10px,
white 1px 1px 10px !important;
}

and do you have the fix for the all-in-one sidebar ? mine has white fringes around my browser

    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
