Firefox 4.0 Mockup Theme

[skyworxx2000]

I'm really looking forward to the new design and the new Firefox button (especially the tab-style one) :)

It would look really great if it replaces the "tools" button.

I would love to see an option to shrink Tabs and Bookmarks Bar a little bit in size, maybe by removing the border on the bookmarks bar.

But I really don't like the reload button of the new mockups. I prefer that combined go/reload/stop button of the current design.

To answer the question of someone a couple pages back:

Yes, it is possible to remove the tite/caption bar in Firefox (by using the plugins called "Hide Caption" or "Hide Caption Titlebar Plus (Smart)"), but unfortunatly, it is not compatible with Aero Glass (since Aero Glass needs the caption bar).

Hopefully Spewboy and Redux are finding a way to remove it without ruining Aero Glass =)

a little bit offtopic:

Is it possible not to autoload tabs with using "AppTabs"? I would love to turn all my bookmarks into AppTabs, but I don't want to autoload them as soon as I start Firefox

I can't wait to see the new design.

For everyone who just can't wait:

How To:

- You need following plugin: "Personal Menu 4.2.1"

- create an orange Firefox Button yourself, or use this one:

- copy it to C:\

- insert following into your userchrome.css*

/*menu button*/
#cm-menu{list-style-image:url(file:///C:/image.png)!important;-moz-image-region:rect(0 0 0 0)!important;}

- setup Personal Menu and Drag&Drop the new button on your Navigation Bar (you can't drop it on the tab-bar though)

*Just make sure the filename and path are the same

and to freak some people out ;)

Nice throbber for this theme.

[SMELTN]

That does look nice

[robyholmes]

Do you think this add-on could be used to remove the normal title bar and replace it with your own drawn inside the application window? Probable not but worth mentioning. You could then put the tabs in the title bar and the Firefox button?

EDIT: It also doesn't work with aero snap so I feel its a no go.

mix from "hide caption", Strata theme and Tabs on top is crazy :woot:

[skyworxx2000]

As far as I know, Aero Glass needs the original Titlebar bar.

So it should be possible, but without Aero Glass

Happy new year everybody

This looks ridiculously good, I also installed Strata Buddy so I could have the tabs on top and it just looks just fantastic :). Thanks a lot, man.

[fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj]

I'm fairly certain an addon doesn't have enough control to move the tabs into the title bar area as it requires handling WndProc among other things.

[LiquidSolstice]

I tried the Hide Caption addon and it turns out that it does work but due to what I'm guessing is transparency issues, I see an echo of my Menu bar underneath the address bar. (By default I hide my Menu Bar, seeing as I can bring it up with ALT.

[insanekiwi]

i just tried it and voila, quite easy and looks lovely. thanks for this :)

Are their any restrictions on sharing that installer for the 4.0 Milestone? ;)

Just grab a resource hacker and a hex editor of your choice ;)

Oh :p. I should have known. Ah well. You did have my hopes up for a second you sly ****** :p.

Man, I saw the "TwentyTen" theme, and can i ask to put the button for the menu "File", like will be the Mockup theme "Firefox". That will be verry nice, when i install and "hide caption".

The changes I made to TwentyTen buddy will make their way to StrataBuddy very soon.

Any update on when we will see a release?

According to the author's DevianArt page some time in January no exact date was posted.

It's too bad Firefox is going the route with that Firefox button. I love the way it's setup now on these mock-ups, minus the caption header on top.

I was wondering as well... for these themes is it possible to move the bookmark button (next to rss reader button) in place of where it shows the favicon image (next to forward button)? It seems pointless having the favicon image show twice right by each other.

Also is the refresh button going to be moved to the left like the new mockups show?

Thanks!

Yes that is all being worked on.

Great to hear! Looking forward to it. :)

I'm sure this has been mentioned here... but posting it just in case. It looks like someone was able to get rid of the caption. I'm not sure though if this disables the glass effect:

Being picky here... but wanted to see if this can possibly be solved at all:

As you'll notice the "e" in the Google tab is being cut off towards the end, and if you notice in the address bar I repeat "l" over and over and the last "l" is like split in half. It seems to always cut off the last word/number towards the end. Wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?

Are you using 3.5? If so, that's a known issue. Doesn't seem to occur in 3.6, at least that I'm aware of.
