Sorry for double post!

@panoc

Using your idea I modified the code and styled it a bit. Also modified it's margin not the padding so now when you hover the area where the down button of the scroll bar is the add-on bar doesn't pop-up ! I still don't know how to add delay to it popping up and staying up thought ...

#addon-bar {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: -21px;
  right: 1px;
  border: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  -moz-transition: bottom .7s;
  padding-top: 12px !important;
  margin-right: 20px !important;
}

#addon-bar:hover {
 bottom: 1px;
}

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #addon-bar {
  bottom: -22px;
  right: 0;
  -moz-transition: bottom .7s;
}

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #addon-bar:hover {
  bottom: 0;
}

#addon-bar > #status-bar {
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding: 0 2px 0 2px;
  border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
  border: 0 !important;
  border-left: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  border-right: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  border-top: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5) inset;
}

BTW deleted the blue style lines of the background, add it back if you want that. I like it better gray, fits my other styles ...

@mNiosu

Hey, I edited my style so that it doesn't obscure the vertical scrollbar anymore. I just edited the "right" properties to move it more to the left so you don't have to use margins. But there still is the problem with what to do if there is a horizontal scrollbar. It should be possible to adjust the addon-bar's position to the visibility of the different scrollbars but I don't know which selectors to use.

#addon-bar {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: -21px;
  right: 19px;
  border: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  -moz-transition: bottom .5s;
  padding-top: 22px !important;
}

#addon-bar:hover {
 bottom: 1px;
}

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #addon-bar {
  bottom: -22px;
  right: 18px;
  -moz-transition: bottom .5s;
}

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #addon-bar:hover {
  bottom: 0;
}

#addon-bar > #status-bar {
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding: 0 2px 0 2px;
  border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
  border: 0 !important;
  border-left: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  border-top: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  border-right: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  background-color: rgb(207, 219, 236) !important;
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.5), rgb(207,220,236)) !important;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5) inset;
}

I found code for a loading bar similar to IE8/9 one, I think it looks a lot better than the small line you normally see, but not too keen on the color, can anyone improve it and make it look more like a glass loader, like in Windows?

My Code:

#urlbar-progress {

}

#urlbar-progress .progress-bar, 
#tabbrowser-tabs .progress-bar {

#urlbar-progress .progress-bar {

.progress-remainder {

}

try these, they don't interfere with both horizontal and vertical scroll bars

but i can't get it work with animation

i prefer the opposite one (light in the beginning becoming darker at the end)

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xul) {

.progress-remainder {
background-image: none !important;
}

#urlbar-progress .progress-bar {
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent 10%, rgba(65, 105, 255, 0.4) 90%, rgba(65, 105, 255,0.8)) !important;
background-color: transparent !important; 
; 
}

#urlbar-progress{
height: 22px !important;
margin-top: -22px !important;
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
margin-left: 28px !important;
}
}

i also use different color for the url preview

.urlbar-over-link-host-label, 
.urlbar-over-link-path-label {
   color: royalblue !important;
}

You may prefer mNiosu's version over mine:

Fission-like, windows-style progress bar

@Neobond

Another fan ... :laugh: :cool:

@dert07

Yes, it's kind of the same thing. Anyway I'm happy with it the way it is, don't like panoc's version. I don't know about the horizontal scroll bar thought, I have encountered any such page since using your style and is not such a big problem for me. What I'm looking for now is to style something like Win7's Aero Slate (graphite) color theme (glass and dark grey). Any help?

@panoc

Hi,

I tried your style but it didn't really work. It still overlaps the horizontal scrollbar. You also got a typo in the "position" property, when I fix it it doesn't work anymore.

- - -

@all

I switched back to my first style for now. I don't really care if it obscures either of the scrollbars since I can't click the arrows anyway when the bar is shown and I don't like the look of the addonbar with the blank space at the right when no scrollbar is there. It is more of a problem when you don't autohide but I'm good for now.

If you don't want the autohide use SoapyHamHock's code and maybe move it a bit to the left so it at least doesn't overlap the vertical scrollbar although icons don't seem to change instantly.

Mozilla will come up with their own style soon, I hope. I don't know when the theme is supposed to be finished, i guess in the first RC.

- - -

@mNiosu

Yeah that's what I thought, too. Horizontal scrollbars hardly ever occur and if they do you could always just take the big slider to scroll.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the Aero Slate style. If you want the addonbar to be glassed it isn't that easy. You can apply the -moz-win-glass stuff only to #browser-bottombox which contains both the addon-bar and statusbar. But if you apply Glass to it the webpage doesn't shine through.

hm i just noticed the typo, so that means that ti doesn't need the position property.

strangely the style works fine for me.

it autohides addon bar and does not interfere with the scroll bars, but i will check it in new profile and see if it works

I know how to make it transparent but I want to copy the win7 grey color theme style, not just plain transparency but I'm not very good with color mixing...

Anyway the best solution to scroll-bar overlap would be my idea few posts back, to force the add-on bar under the scroll bar but I don't know if it is possible...

@panoc

Didn't have much time to study the style code but you use a different method for styling the add-on bar witch is not a bad thing but it kind of forces you to use another autohide code that I don't like at all. Also your style has some unnecessary lines. I'll give it a look when I'll have some time ...

well programming is not my forte :p

most of the css styles i write are made by trial and error.

i would be glad if you can shrink my styles and correct them !

I'm not good at programming either. I really don't see the advantages of your style over dert07's except the icons react in real time but that isn't a problem for me as they do change as the bar hides on dert07's style. The problem is that I don't think his idea of autohide works with streetwolf's fix for the icons so I really can't do much to edit your style so I'll stick with the one I modified after dert07's idea because I like it better ...

BTW doesn't anyone have a solution for me to add something like 500ms delay to the add-on bar popping up and also something like 500ms to keep it showing after I stopped hovering it ? That would be really great! :D

I don't think that's possible. Personally, I just hide those scrollbars. :)

Oh sorry, I forgot about your delay question. You could either use:

-moz-transition-property: bottom;
-moz-transition-duration: .5s;
-moz-transition-delay: .5s;

or easier, just put everything into the -moz-transition property:

-moz-transition: bottom .5s .5s;

If you want to edit the timings the values are -moz-transition: [property] [duration] [delay];

SoapyHamHocks and I tweaked the style a bit more and now the icons also change instantly!

The style can be found here: http://boneyardbrew.posterous.com/

I have two problems:

1 - flexible spacers don't work

2 - findbar won't display

Is it just me?

@foxxyn8

You're right, the findbar doesn't show up anymore, we didn't try that. We'll see if we can fix this. I can't add flexible spacers in between icons even without the style. And to the left or right to all icons it doesn't really make sense since the bar adjusts its width automatically.

You can't add flexible spacers to the statusbar icons, but if you customize and add buttons to the add-on bar you can. The problem is that with this style enabled they don't work.

In the following images there is one expandable spacer used to push the button to the far left:

Without style:

With Style:

screenhunter31sep282255.jpg

As you can see, with your style applied the expandable spacer isn't working. However this seems to be a common problem with any of the styles which are using a position:fixed for the add-on bar.

Concerning the findbar - if you add bottom: 0 to #browser-bottombox the contents of the findbar will display, but without a background.

@ dert07 i made some modification to your style according to foxxyn8's suggestion

#addon-bar {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: -21px;
  right: 20px;
  border: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  -moz-transition: bottom .5s 1s ease-in;
  /*padding-top: 22px !important;*/
}

#browser-bottombox {
position: fixed;
}

#addon-bar:hover {
 bottom: 0;
 -moz-transition: bottom .5s .4s ease-out;
}

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #addon-bar {
  right: 20;
}

#addon-bar > #status-bar {
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding: 0 2px 0 2px;
  border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
  border: 0 !important;
  border-left: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  border-top: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  border-right: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  background-color: rgb(207, 219, 236) !important;
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.5), rgb(207,220,236)) !important;
  box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.5) inset;
}

with the above code addon bar does not hover when you scroll horizontal.

can you try this and tell if it works ?

What is the identifier for the search box. I want to style it a bit ... :D

@foxxyn8

I have a background but it displays only half the search box. That's not such a big problem but a little styling would be better that's why I want the identifier.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
