what the hell? I get a black chrome instead of a transparent one. I'm using Firefox RC 3.5 RC3.

edit: could be WEBDEVELOPER's fault. But I need that extension! You could always make it compatible with it, since as you may know WEBDEVELOPER is a well-known and much-used add-on for Friefox.

edit2: it is GMAIL NOTIFIER's fault too.

Hey there, thanks for replying!

I'd love to fix it, but the modified script for Glasser is not my work, and I don't know how to edit it. I've only done the CSS coding to make everything look okay in newer versions of Firefox, and some very minor debugging in the javascript.

The original script is from Jordoex, you might be able to reach him over here, he will probably be able to help you a little better.

Thanks for trying my addon!

hey guys, I just upgraded to the final 3.5 version

but I'm having one single issue

I modded glasser v2 so far that the text is black and the tabs are different (look pic)

but now that black text is kind of blured ?!

is this some kind of bug or is it a feature :D

this is kind of annoying cause I can't read the titles sometimes

thanks for your help :)

That's because the shadow is also still black.

In this file

%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\YOURPROFILE\extensions\[email protected]\chrome\skin\classic\overlay.css

change every text-shadow thing to white instead of black. Should do the trick.

not sure if it works with the latest Firefox.

It does with some changes.

I think the whole Glass idea on Firefox looks much better on Windows 7. Windows Vista turns everything near black when maximized and makes it all hard to read.

The following is a screenshot from the OP's post:

As you can see he doesn't have it fully expanded, so it's showing as glass.

Here is a screencap of Firefox running on my system, it's fully expanded and as you can see it's black, only when I partially resize it does it show up as glass:

It seems to be the same with IE8, it's all black when it's fully expanded, but when it's resized I get glass. Any idea why it's not showing as glass?

Forgot to mention, that menus are still showing up solid.

You need to patch your system with something like VistaGlazz to keep transparency, even when your windows are maximized.

I will get Win7 Ultimate when it comes out.

A work around to keep everything in Glass mode when windows are maximized is to use VistaGlazz, I just installed it...but don't want to reboot my system yet as I am in the middle of getting some files.

I didn't even notice your post, isn't that bad...went searching for something to force the Glass look and then I found VistaGlazz and when I came back here to post about it I only noticed your post after I edited my post.

Thanks! Now Vista looks much more glassy.

hi,

I have found a problem witch the lastpass adon.

I have installed lastpass i see black in top of my screen not transparent.

sorry for my bad englisch i'm dutch

Many addons that add stuff to the toolbar are breaking this addon, and I can't do anything about it! Sorry!

(Eventjes in het Nederlands: jammer dat je addon niet werkt, maar er zijn veel addons die hetzelfde probleem hebben en jammer genoeg kan ik dit soort problemen ook niet oplossen! Jammer!)

There seems to be no glass on some windows. For example if you click on a image that opens in a new window there is no glass, across the toolbar it's just black. Is this an issue on my end? It wasn't like this with the old glasser and firefox.
fwiw, my modified version fixes that.

    • 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.
