WIth the 3.6 version of firefox, hovering over tabs in the taskbar turns everything that is transparent in firefox black. Is there a way to fix this? :

Could you tell me your theme you are using please?

EDIT: Found it - Soft7 1.6

Sweet theme. Thanks.

One small issue that I'm having is that when a page is loading, the urlbar gets longer and pushes everything to the right. How to fix this

EDIT:

Never mind. I found that the issue was related to ReloadEvery.

No longer works... what does THAT mean? where (OS, Firefox version etc.) and what does it happen?

As I said it doesn't matter. But I'm running Windows Vista 64bit with Firefox 3.5.4 (Also didn't do anything in 3.5.3). This was for the tabs on top. Those in IRC knew what I was talking about. All of a sudden the Stylish script decided to work. So I'm using that now.

But yeah, the Tabs on Top just wouldn't do anything.

Yeah, I had some trouble with StrataBuddy but it started to work all of a sudden. Not sure what I did but in between my many restarts of Firefox, StrataBuddy decided to work for me. Odd.

Thanks though! I had to fiddle around with a few extensions but I've got it the way I like it. :D

Edit: Hmm. I was trying to avoid using Stylish but it seems to be easier to manage in the long run. I have the tabs on top option checked in StrataBuddy, but there's a visible flash of the tabs switching when I first open Firefox. Stylish doesn't do this so I'm just going back to that. Still using StrataBuddy for the progress bar on the tabs with Information Tab, though.

Just thought I would jump in on this thread and say how smooth and simple it was to get this skin up and running with all the extra features.

Running Windows 7 64-bit.

So, thanks to the author. :]

Anyway to make the status bar behave like it does in Chrome and only show when you mouse over a link?

I tried some autohide taskbar exention, but it messes with the glass effect :(

I've switched back over from ChromePlus because this theme is great, but Firefox is such a waste of screen estate compared to Chrome.

Thanks

StrataBuddy isn't changing anything at all for me... when I restart Firefox its as if I didn't make any changes at all in it, I'm running Firefox 3.5.4 in Windows 7 32 bit, I don't really know where to begin to troubleshoot this. Can anyone help?

Just keep randomly clicking and restarting and enabling the stylish script and eventually it'll work.

Do you have the 'Tools' button on the toolbar? You might also try clicking reset in StrataBuddy options, restart Firefox, then choose your settings again.

Finally got it working, if anything under Bookmarks is checked for me it negates all settings, and I have to keep the Zune theme checked, one problem that I have is that the bottom bar does not appear to be glassed, as seen here- http://imgur.com/JKY9U.jpg

I added the tool button to my Firefox and change the settings from there, I'm not sure if that's why things are working now.

That is normal, its a design choice by SpewBoy.

To get the bottom glass install StrataGlass - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14288/

He already has StrataGlass installed. I made that design choice because that is how it is in the 3.7 mockups. They are the only mockups that actually feature a status bar. It is actually half transparent and does feature glass effects ;)

I know it's transparent on mine.

Not completely, but the screenshot here isn't transparent at all.

edit: I've just realised he must have his Aero colour intensity setting really high? Mines is practically all the way to the left that maybe explains why my status bar is noticeably transparent.

is there anything i can do about the black header on the history sidebar? it looks a bit fugly and i'd like to change it if possible.

Are you using StrataGlass or the Aero Glass option in StrataBuddy?

after the recent firefox update i'm getting bugs on the tabs on top, like the bar that is on the bottom of the tabs is carrying over and is overlaying all the tabs.

I'll post a screen if you don't get what i mean

Post a screenshot if you can.

Are you using StrataGlass or the Aero Glass option in StrataBuddy?

i had strata glass installed and an old version of strata buddy that didn't have an aero glass option. but i've just found a new version and that's allowed to me to uninstall strata glass and fix my problem. thanks for the pointer. :)

(trying to auto update from strata buddy 0.1.5.0 didn't find anything so i had to update manually)

    • Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • 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.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • AI programs are riddled with bugs, and it's often surprising to see how little this is acknowledged. I guess it's all the rabid enthusiasm spurred by the blind investments in it because of the word "intelligence" in the nomenclature. AI has no intelligence at all, in and of itself, and it's just like any other program as it does what its programmers have told it to do, whether they like it or not, whether they realize it or not...
