Simply beautiful... One thing, the home button seems brighter than back/forward ones

...and tabs' throbber works :D

We re-made the back and forward buttons, and forgot to update home as well. I'll talk to BoneyardBrew later and see if we can come up with something.

Help.. Mine looks like this!!

Do you have any other stylish scripts enabled?

Delete all the Stylish code you had for the previous version and add the new lines that were with the download link.

You don't need to add that code at all, that just enables an alternative background style for bookmarks and tabs.

It seems to be locationbar, I'll see if I can fix that.

Edit: give this a shot.

#identity-box > hbox {
margin-top: -1px !important;
margin-bottom: -1px !important;
}

That fixed the problem with the url bar. I found a way to correct the https issue here is the code

#urlbar #identity-icon-label { display: none !important; }

Thanks

Oh I see. We intended for the name to be there on a secure site.

Somewhere on one of these threads I'm sure I saw a piece of code about giving the tab bar and bookmarks bar an alternative shading but for the life of me have forgotten this too - *looks up like a poor dog*

Thanks!

Here try this:

 #bookmarksBarContent{
 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://global/skin/images/extras/Bookmarks-BG.png") 0 8 0 8 / 0 8px 0 8px !important;
 margin-left: -3px !important;
 margin-right: -3px !important;
 margin-bottom: -3px !important;
 margin-top: -4px !important;}
 .tabs-container {
 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://global/skin/images/extras/Tab-BG.png") 1 8 0 8 / 0 8px 0 8px !important;}

He means in the original Firefox 4 mockups. It had a slight frost and overall wasn't like the default Aero theme.

I can tell you all that the mockups were in no way a real Firefox theme. They were put together in Photoshop using a template of a Windows 7 window. I can safely say this because of the following reasons:

- The blur behind the window is way to strong. I'm talking about three times as strong as the default aero blur, and there is no way to increase the blur in Win7 or Vista.

- The tab close buttons are off by one pixel in relation to each other, so the first tab's close button is in one place, the second tab's is one pixel off from that, and the third is another pixel off from that, so it's not consistent in any way (most likely a tiny error in spacing by the author of the mockups, not noticeable to the naked eye. But then, I have a zoom button in my Photoshop :D).

- The window edges are slightly less rounded than a normal windows 7 window.

- Some elements of the theme are going into the window edges, something that as far as I know isn't really possible (may be wrong).

So, yeah. It's just a mockup and nothing else. ;)

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026 by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is Redmond's flagship online communication and collaboration tool, primarily used in enterprise, government, and school environments. It regularly receives updates, with Microsoft frequently revealing features currently in development as well, such as Efficiency Mode and a dedicated app for meeting recaps. Now, the company has shed some light on the backend enhancements it has made to its popular software in 2026. During the first half of 2026, switching between chats has become 20% faster on desktop and web, which is especially great for less powerful devices or hardware on weak networks. Microsoft explains that it tracks two types of chat switches. The first is a warm switch, which relates to returning to a recent chat, in which case it is most likely already present in memory and should load extremely fast. The other is a cold switch where a chat that hasn't been opened recently is now opened. Naturally, the second type of chat switch was causing the most notable latency spikes. Microsoft realized that this was happening because of three reasons. First, the query to fetch conversation data was being fired too late. Next, queries were being sent sequentially, increasing the overall round-trip time. Finally, there was no handling of response priority, which meant that non-critical responses would sometimes block the main thread. Microsoft solved all of these problems by firing the data query immediately, bundling queries to be sent together so that they wouldn't create a "waterfall" effect, and enabling faster painting of the frame. As a result, warm and cold switches now have almost the same latency, and the only distinguishable difference between them is due to the data layer response time. Next, Microsoft focused on reducing app hangs and freezes on macOS and iOS by 35%. On macOS, the company has a health monitor thread running in the background that does exactly what it says on the tin. The tech firm built a dedicated StackDecoder tool to analyze health monitor's output at scale. Through this combination, it decided to move several error reporting and monitoring threads either to the background or treated them as an asynchronous call so that they wouldn't block the main thread, causing Teams to freeze. On iOS, the same result was accomplished through optimization of computations, caching, offloading operations from the main thread, refactoring database access behaviors, deferring non-critical tasks, and more. On a related note, it also made people search 25% on iOS by optimizing the query pipeline, and efficient database task queuing and scheduling. However, Microsoft has emphasized that improving Teams' performance is an ongoing endeavor, and that it hopes that these efforts will continue to make the software a reliable partner in online communication scenarios. On a related note, Microsoft recently unveiled some upcoming performance upgrades for OneDrive on macOS too, and you can check those out here.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By WaltC · Posted

      Let Apple have its way, as customers will eschew Apple in favor of more open solutions--which is what they should be doing anyway!... I'm not a fan of Apple at all, but when the lawyers in the EUC start dictating to companies how their software should be made, I think the companies should just drop the EU altogether as a market. EUC lawyers make a mint every time they levy a fine on a successful American software company. What a racket. The EU consumer should be the final word on what products he buys and which ones he doesn't, but the EUC seeks to put itself into the position of the EU customer, and make those decisions for him, under the guise of "helping him." Q. What do you do when the person at your door says, "Hi! I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you make intelligent buying decisions!" A. Grab your possessions and run for the hills...
