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.

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)

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

      I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable. 
    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
