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 :)

    • Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.

    • Write to your MP 😄 Like believing in Santa. Total surveillance IS the goal. Wake up.
    • This whole dumb age verification thing needs to die and be replaced by giving parents tools to control devices. Why am I required to plaster my ID all over the internet to prove I'm old enough when parents should be the ones dictating what their kids are doing on their phones. Apple released great set of tools for iPhones coming to iOS 27 that do just that. Why are governments not mandating that kind of control to phone makers to built them into phones. This whole thing is so absolutely idiotic it's wild.
