Hello. I'm a big fan of this add-on. I have been unable to determine the cause of an issue I am experiencing and was wondering if someone could provide some assistance.

Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit

Firefox version: 3.5.6

All-glass version: 2.1.4

The issue is that favicons are not showing for bookmarks in the Bookmark Toolbar. I have included a small screen shot as an attachment to this post.

Also, is it possible to change the degree of transparency when Firefox has the focus (is active)?

Thank you.

A quick update for everyone

Since some people are having problems with the new .js and .dll I'll be reverting back to the old version with the next update, along with some extra compatibility fixes for some addons etc!

Hey!

The favicon issue - I highly doubt that has anything to do with my addon, I think you'll have to look somewhere else for that...

The degree of transparency: this is controlled by Windows, and it's impossible for me to modify it from within Firefox... Sorry!

Thanks for using my addon :)

is this also supposed to "glass" the drop-down menus? It doesn't on my computer, which is why I'm asking. but I really like the glassed toolbars and stuff! if it only glassed the drop-down menus, it'd be perfect.

EDIT: I don't want drop-down menus to be entirely glassed, as that would make it really hard to see what they say. just slightly transparent.

It's not supposed to do that, no. There are many Userstyles that can do that and that's why I'm not including it in my addon. Many people would think it's rather annoying (including me)!

Thanks for using my addon ^^ !

I just registered to second this. TST + this addon gives very odd results (the text seems to move in and out of phase (basically changing between barely legible and entirely unreadable.) and I'm not sure why it would interact in this way. TST is a very nice addon for people with WS screens, btw.

Anyway, thanks for the addon. (and it would be neat if this could be fixed somehow, although I don't know whether the buggy behavior is due to this addon or TST)

That's not a bug. Don't expect add-ons like this to work with every theme or add-on out there. It looks like Aero Fox Silver uses it's own UI elements that supercede All-Glass' elements. You'd be better off contacting the author of Aero Fox Sliver to see if he's willing to make the theme compatible with All-Glass.

I use Kempelton and it looks great. You can also use Strata40, however since I tested it they've added a glass option in StrataBuddy.

I've just installed the new RC1 build of Firefox 3.6 and decided to use Glasser again. Right now, it's all black, rather than glass. I'd just like to know when you tend to get updates out for newer versions of the beta/RC builds? No rush though of course :)

Today and tomorrow I'm afraid I don't have time, but friday evening I'll have a look and make sure it's updated before monday!

What RC1 build? The latest beta release is 3.6b5 and the latest nightly build is 3.6b6pre. I'm using 3.6b5 and have no issues.

This one :)

Thank you :) If it helps, I think I have narrowed the problem down to the following code I am using to hide the whole tab bar :/ When I disable the following code in Stylish, everything is glass again :happy: I would like to use tabs, but hide the tab bar no matter how many tabs are open which is why I have to use code to do so (the reason is because I hate how a web browser looks with tabs and Firefox 3.6 has some neat tab preview features which can be accessed via keyboard shortcuts).

Here is the code I am using which causes the problem:

.tabbrowser-strip { display: none !important; }

"This one?" :huh: I just added that code to Stylish and it did not make anything black. You may have another style or add-on that is causing that.

Hmm. For some reason I pasted the wrong link. This is the thread I meant which contains information about the new release candidate: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=862986

Using the new RC, downloading from the link provided there, causes that issue when that code is added to a new script in Stylish; the browser must be restarted for this bug to become apparent (despite not usually having to restart the browser when editing the CSS of the chrome). I know that is the case because I disabled all add-ons, except Glasser, enabled the code and disabled the code; multiple times :)

I have found other code to hide the tab bar, which works perfectly and does not disrupt Glasser - making it fully transparent:

EDIT: Hmm, that did remove the whole tab bar when I first tried it; now, somehow it's changed and just seems to display a white block in place of the tab bar :/

Just use your code you always use and in

X:\Users\7v2\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\whatever.default\extensions\[email protected]\chrome\content

dwm-overlay.js just remove every +tabheight you can find ;) Didn't est it but it -should- work as a quick-fix!

Nighty!

Thanks Ambroos, but for some reason it didn't seem to work, even after restarting Firefox :/ I'll just wait until you have a chance to look into it :) Night :)

I'm now using 3.6 RC1 and I don't have any black elements. Try creating a new profile and only install All-Glass. If that works fine, then it's down to process of elimination with an extension, theme, script or style you're using.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...

      There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
