So I am having 1 bug show up. As you can see from the attached screenshot, it shows the go type button showing up whenever I open a new tab.. It ONLY shows when I open a blank tab.

Are you using the latest Strata40 v0.5.5 and Stratabuddy 1.6.8 cause I don't have that problem using those versions and the same FF as you.

So I have to ask: now that they've released an updated mock-up are there plans to update this theme or start a new theme to match it?

well some of the things done are impossible to do to the ui elements with our current versions. Although Strata40 is pretty close to what you see minus the "apps button" of course.

Yeah, I get that. I don't expect to see a Firefox button anytime soon, if ever previous to Fx 4.0. However, the buttons, tabs and address bar look noticeably different in the new mock-up and those could easily be incorporated into this theme, perhaps even as another option in StrataBuddy.

There's already a new thread about it but I'll re-post the link posted there: http://blog.stephenhorlander.com/2009/12/2...themeui-update/

The pictures you see posted are the mockups straight from the Firefox dev team and were JUST released, so they haven't actually been worked on yet. I am sure Spewboy and company will post sometime today to say if they will incorporate those into their themes or not.

Awesome theme. I have it customized the way I like it, similar to the Firefox 4.0 (tabs on top) mock-up theme. My only gripe is the background colour of StrataBuddy and just about any other context window in Firefox when StrataBuddy is installed. It's a dark grey colour that retracts from the default light grey background of Firefox's context windows.

This is what I'm talking about:

The first screenshot was taken with the Strata 4.0 theme plus the recommended add-ons and the second one was taken with the default Strata theme in Firefox 3.5.6.

When I was doing StrataBuddy that was the default color of Strata40's dialog boxes. I will fix that for the next release.

Edit: you can use this for now

page,
dialog,
wizard,
prefwindow {
   background-color: #F0F0F0 !important;
}

Hey Soapy any word on what you guys are working on? Like are you planning to incorporate any of these new things?

Yea we are working on a few things. Spew is doing a rewrite of his theme and adding the new theme design in. I'm working on the new Firefox menu, its mostly all working right now. I plan on putting an option to change between two button styles, one thats the tab like and this current one. I'm not really sure how the menu should look graphically, any ideas?

Thanks, that worked great. It took me a couple of Google searches to figure out that I needed to use that code with Stylish. :p

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
