Its it possible to hide the borders of the navbar buttons with dropdown menu?

Like the ones for AIO Sidebar and Download Helper(when it detects flash video).

try:

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1{
  border: 1px solid transparent !important;
  box-shadow: none !important;
  background: none !important;
}

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"][open="true"],
#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1:not([disabled="true"]):hover{
  border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.2) !important;
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,.4) inset,
              0 1px 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,.4) !important;
  border-radius: 4px !important;
}

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1:not([disabled="true"]):not([type="menu-button"]):active{
  border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.3) !important;
  background: rgba(0,0,0,.1) !important;
  box-shadow: 0 0 4px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.1) inset !important;
  border-radius: 4px !important;
}

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"]>*{
  box-shadow: none !important;
  background: none !important;
  border: none !important;
}

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"] dropmarker{
  border-left: 1px solid transparent !important;
}

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"]:hover dropmarker,
#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"]:active dropmarker,
#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"][open="true"] dropmarker{
  border-left: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.25) !important;
  -moz-transition: none !important;
}

#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"] toolbarbutton:active,
#nav-bar .toolbarbutton-1[type="menu-button"][open="true"] dropmarker{
  background: rgba(0,0,0,.1) !important;
}

Please, can someone help me with this:

Got it from here http://userstyles.org/styles/20883 and I'd like to exclude only the Main Menu while pressing the AppMenuButton...

Must I use the command "not" before all those menus included or just to delete an entry from the list? Also, I don't know the exact name...

Thank you in advance!

I fixed it up for you a little bit. I took out all the popup references since "The popup element is no longer supported; you should use menupopup instead."(see : https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox_4_for_developers). Should you find you need them you can just add them back in.

Is there any way to reduce the size of the aero window borders on the sides and the bottom? The window is already missing an inside border so it makes the glass borders look even fatter

There is a way. You change the 'chromemargin' attribute on #main-window, although you can't do this using CSS. In the morning I can cook up a small addon to change this value if you would like.

Here is an example using smaller borders:

That looks nicer than these fat ones, especially since i've moved the tabs directly into the titlebar (so there's even less glass up there). Would appreciate it :).

As promised. Let me know if there are any issues.

Works great so far. I had to restart firefox twice before it worked though, first time was assumed compulsory restart, second one was after nothing happened. This isn't likely to crash dwm, like glasser sometimes did for me is it?

Thanks :D

It shouldn't at all. All it does is modify an attribute already present on #main-window. Odd that it didn't work, I had a few friends test it and they had no problems.

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but this is the code I use to make "about:blank" transparent

#browser,
#content > tabbox > tabpanels {
  background-color: transparent !important;
}

#main-window[stylish-url="about:blank"] #content browser { 
   opacity: 0 !important;
}

Everything has worked flawlessly until a couple days ago (or more...), when I noticed an artifact on the navbar on the transparent about:blank page only, which actually seems to depend on the "opacity" CSS setting, and only disappears when opacity is set to 1. Something in the recent builds must be the culprit...

Note that it appears if the FF window loses focus while the "about:blank" page is open, and remains thereafter, disappearing when you switch to any other tab and reappearing when you click on the "about:blank" tab. I also switched off more or less all other stylish mods and it's always there. If I put tabs below the app button, the "artifact" is partially obscured by them (but visible if they are partially transparent, of course).

Any idea on how to remove it?

Hey! I've made (stolen from another userscript...) this script to put the download statusbar on the add-on bar.

#downbarHolder{
-moz-appearance:none!important;
min-height:23px!important;
max-height:23px!important;
border:none !important;
margin:0 0 -24px 25px!important;
}

#downbarHolder #downbar {
max-width: 550px !important;
}

It's already pretty good, i was wondering though, is there any way to make the bar depend on the size of the browser's window?

So that when i resize the the browser the bar resizes as well?

OK, I just checked and it seems to happen only if I have a transparent tab bar, which I implemented with the following (taken somewhere, unfortunately I didn't record it, and later tweaked)

the artifact disappears, and of course the selected tab is not transparent anymore ;)

Note also that the width of the artifact is more or less the same as the app button, if I resize it (for example remove the stylish code to reset it to default), the artifact resizes accordingly.

Any other way to make the navbar and tabs translucent as in the image in my previous post and avoid this issue?

This was probably already posted but I can't find it, does anybody have any stylish code to put more padding between the tab bar and the titlebar? In the theme I use (clearscreensharp) they are way too close.

I believe this is the code used in browser.css, just mess around with the value until you find something that looks good.

#main-window[chromemargin^="0,"][sizemode="normal"]:not([inFullscreen="true"]) #navigator-toolbox {
  margin-top: -8px !important;
}

Any other way to make the navbar and tabs translucent as in the image in my previous post and avoid this issue?

I've tested your code and have no such problem. It might be time to try a new profile.

I'd really like to be able to help, but I can't reproduce the problem. I use the same method to to acheive transparency in the tabs and toolbars in the current nightly, but I'm not getting any artifacts. Like Soapy said, maybe it's time for a new profile.

Thanks, now it only happens when the window loses the focus. Oddly, if I do it with a blank local html file, the artifact is always visible.

Guess I need to try with a clean profile and installing extensions one by one :( I just hate it...

EDIT: it happens also with a new profile... need to test more I'm afraid

Both are sexy as hell, but I agree, I prefer the top one. I think this is partially due to the fact that it's not the typical preferences layout, it's fresh.

Do you think we could get an apples to apples comparison of the same preference page in both styles?

Wow! I prefer the first one, but the second looks like a charm too!

Please, share both scripts! :woot:

Thanks

Just have a few more things to do then they will both go up on userstyles.org

Thanks. Here is a screenshot of the vertical style with the sync section selected.

Looks great, the vertical is definitely cooler in my opinion

This is just me nitpicking here... but it looks like the vertical setup is extra wide for no particular reason, is this intentional?

Also, reducing the gaps between the buttons on the left may get rid of the extra blank vertical space introduced at the bottom.

Mozilla should be paying you guys to re-skin Firefox, seriously.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
