i kindof migrated back to glasser 1.1.2, but it still would be nice to fix this. i <3 the transparent tab bar

is there any way to make the sidebar have glass too with this? i know there is a hack for glasser to achive a glass sidebar but don't know about this.

+1

This is an awesome adds-on. My questions are:

- how to make SIDEBARs, specially ALL IN ONE SIDEBAR glassy like this solution in sevenforum: <a href="http://www.<< spam >>/tutorials/13665-firefox-enable-aero-glass-transparency.html" target="_blank">http://www.<< spam >>/tutorials/13665...ansparency.html</a> . Unfortunately this solution is faulty, my FF blinks etc.

- how to make non-default toolbars glassy: my address and bookmarks toolbar are glassy, but others, like GROWE are not. Again the referred solution addresses it, but glasser does not work well in FF 3.5, All-Glass is so much better.

- Finally, can I change default FONT colors? I have the fonts white in the menu (file, edit, view...) and black on tabs.

I thank very much any help. And thank you for the great adds-on.

Edrik posted an old version on seven forums and won't update it for some reason, so maybe you hit a bug. What do you mean by 'FF blinks' exactly?

Unfortunately, there isn't a one size fits all fix for custom toolbars as they need to be reskinned too. As for glasser not working with 3.5, it works fine, no different than all-glass. The dev just hasn't updated the rdf. As I've said before in this thread, the version of the code that Ambroos uses in all-glass is actually older than glasser. The bug that causes child windows to be un-glassed is a result of that. Glasser will do child windows. It's a shame Ambroos hasn't updated his xpcom and javascript as it would make some of the spin off code interoperable.

You need to learn CSS if you want custom font colors. They are all described in overlay.css.

Thanks. In parts:

1- "FF Blinks" means that All-in-One is Glassy but then starts flickering. Unbearable. If I understood you, you suggest that I try again GLASSER solution using the instructions in the link you provided, which may correct the matter?

2- I meant that GLASSER did not work well with FF 3.5 becuase of the flickering I described above. Anyway, if I try reinstalling GLASSER this will solve my toolbar question. But I assume with All-Glass there is no simple answer, is that correct?

3- I took a look at the file overlay... It seems king of complex. I just wanted every font in every toolbar to be black. But then let's leave it how it is.

My problem with the Glasser solution (if I can get rid of the flickering) are two: 1- somehow All-Glass looks much cleaner, better to read and look at; 2- some tabs were kind of unreadable, text was too clear - I don't know maybe it tries to make some websites glassy and screw them up...

First off, I wanna say that I love the add-on.

Thank you, Ambroos!

Second, I was wondering, if at all possible, could you could add 'support' for All-In-One Sidebar.

The Sidebar gripper is still the default gray/silver/blue color, and I think All-In-One and All-Glass have a small conflict with eachother where a 'bar' on the top of the screen, just below the tabs, becomes discolored:

it would be nice if someone could make the download statusbar a bit more visible, otherwise you have to maximize just to see what you have downloaded

It depends on your desktop background, but it's very customizable. Check the options.

Great addon!

Sorry if this has been asked before (I read back a couple of pages but couldn't find an answer) but is there a way to change the colour of the inactive tabs? I can barely read the text due to it being almost the same colour as the background. THe bookmarks toolbar looks great, very clear and nice, it's just inactive the tabs I'm having trouble with.

Great extension, but using the Firefox 3.7 Mockup theme with this, any text in an extension in the status bar doesn't show up, particular 1-click weather. I can see the icons, but no text so to speak of. Is there some way of editing the extension to show the text? I can't figure it out.

yup, but im not going to use a black bg all the time. and changing the font color doesn't work somewhat, it does but it's way too short to make it visible

I'm getting that "black below the menu bar" glitch people have been reporting before...

Windows 7 and Firefox 3.5.2

Screenie will come shortly.

it's the web developer addon, someone here said it earlier

p.s.

if anyone has problems with inactive tabs or download statusbar being unreadable there's a fix

vizion, I like to run the camifox? I have the file. [email protected] zip folder but do not know how to make it work: S and tested several things, excuse my ignorance. thanks for your answer

When you extract the zip file you should get a folder named [email protected].

Place this folder in this location: C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\g2wmw86w.default\extensions

The text in bold will be different on your system.

You'll also need the latest version of the All-Glass Firefox Extension.

Note: Firefox might ask you if you want to install a newer version of Camifox. Make sure you select do not install :)

That should be it! Let me know how you get on.

Glad you got it working. Regarding the transparent search bar I forgot to add that before! :blush:

I have a stylish script that does exactly that. You'll need the Stylish Addon if you don't already have it. Then just click 'Write new style' and paste in this code:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#urlbar , #searchbar *{
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  background: transparent !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 0px !important;
  color: #fff !important;

/* These font settings are optional.*/ 
/*font-family: Tahoma !important; 
font-size: 11px !important;  
font-weight: bold !important; */


}

I take no credit for the code. Remove the comments ( /* */ ) around the font settings if you want to change any of them. I found it on the Stylish site. And regarding the actual glassing of the Camifox skin, that was modified by dragon0823 :)

    • If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
    • I think you missed his point. He wasn't saying that cloud storage isn't possible on GNU/Linux, clearly it is. He was pointing out that you are commenting about your dislike of Windows on an article about OneDrive (not Windows) for Mac (also not Windows). Its about as off topic as coming to an article about Sony improving something on the PlayStation and saying that you hate Sony TVs and prefer LG.
    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Nvidia has a fresh update for GeForce NOW subscribers today, bringing in more games to add to its ever-growing supported titles list. At the same time, the company announced the kick-off for its summer sale for the streaming subscription service, dropping the prices for both its premium packages for anyone looking to upgrade or join. The offer is for the 12-month membership options that the company offers. This drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. Next, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping prices by $70 from the original $199.99. "The Performance membership delivers smooth, high-quality cloud gaming across devices, with streaming up to 1080p at 60 frames per second (fps) and access to RTX-powered servers for supported games," says Nvidia, describing its tiers. "The Ultimate membership steps things up with RTX 4080‑ or 5080‑class performance in the cloud, supporting up to 4K and beyond on ultrawide displays, up to 120 fps, and advanced features like ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS and NVIDIA Reflex for a more responsive, visually rich experience." With the sales out of the way, here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: NBA THE RUN (New release on Steam, available on June 9) Witchspire (New release on Steam, available on June 10) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, available on June 11) Duet Night Abyss (Launcher) DOOM Eternal (Epic Games Store) The Elder Scrolls Online (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Farever (Steam) World of Tanks: HEAT (Wargaming) Nvidia plans to add support for a bunch of more games during the rest of June. Find the full announcement from last week over here. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
    • It's actually shocking how logs filling disks has been a constant issue going back for decades, yet we see very little improvement over the years. Even in the server world, its actually shockingly common for a server to either go totally down, or have a critical alert raised due to logs filling disks.
    • YouTube has finally brought back its DMs feature, but only in these countries by David Uzondu Late last year, YouTube started testing a "new" way to share videos directly with friends, without having to leave the app. Now, the video giant has announced that is now rolling out a revamped direct messaging inbox, which lets you share videos, Shorts, and live streams and have conversations about them, directly on YouTube. The platform limits this feature to 18+ users who are signed in to a verified channel and use the latest mobile app version. Direct messaging on YouTube first became a thing back in 2017 inside the mobile app (later renamed to "Messages"), where users could chat one-on-one and share clips directly, but all that came to an end on September 18, 2019, when Google decided to shut it down after giving users a month to download a .zip file archive of their past chats. No one really knows why YouTube killed the feature, but users were encouraged to migrate to the public Comments section, on Community tab posts, and via YouTube Stories. The previous incarnation suffered from moderation challenges, prompting Google to implement stricter safety guidelines and age verifications for this new iteration. Here's a list of the countries where the re-launched feature is currently available, though note that Brand Accounts do not have access to it, at least for now: Countries American Samoa Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Guam Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Northern Mariana Islands Norway Poland Portugal Puerto Rico Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland U.S. Virgin Islands United Kingdom United States Before you can use the feature, you first have to send an invite link to your contact. Invite links expire exactly seven days after you create them. If the person on the other end accepts the invite, you can exchange videos directly and text back and forth inside the app. To delete a message, just long-press on the message and tap unsend to remove it for both users. You can also delete entire conversations by long-pressing the thread and selecting delete, but the other person will continue to see the chat history on their end. To make sure everything remains safe, YouTube monitors these messages to ensure they follow Community Guidelines.
