I don't do (too) much program customization so how do I basically incorporate these scripts. I'm pretty sure it's modification of a js script (.js) in the program directory but what and where?

Also using the x64 build of Minefield nightly

Edit: a guide or something to read would be great, basically firefox n00b here. :(

it's not js, its css... you can learn more here https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS

to incorporate the styles, you have to ways

- the 'official', which consist in editing the file 'userchrome.css' you can find in the directory of your profile (it's in appdata).

- by using the addon styilish, you can find a compatible version here http://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/24590/stylish-for-firefox-1.1b5. Once installed, you can find the stylish icon in the customization panel. Then, right-click on the icon, click "new style" and paste the codes you find here. then give a name and save. You can also find styles ready to install: http://userstyles.org

Hi Leroy,

These codes are nothing more than CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) level 3 and are interpreted by firefox ontop or beside the theme.

Basically, you have two paths to choose:

1 - Place the code directly into userChrome.css.

Read about it here: Customizing Mozilla

2 - Use the addon "Stylish" - But I'm not sure if it works on Firefox x64

See here: Stylish

What weird bar?

Screenshot?

Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.5pre.110110a no issues here.

Ok, I'm home and I tried it again on a brand new profile, same results (and no, it's not the addon bar)

Here are the steps I do to reproduce it:

1) Create a new profile

2) Set the home page to www.neowin.net

3) Install the latest TMP build, restart.

4) MAXIMIZE the browser, then close it (the extension restart does not always trigger it). The browser must re-open in maximized mode.

5) Open the browser, there should be a weird grey bar at the bottom (which is a section of about:blank, my Stylish skin in my main profile changes it)

Note: I think it is a Vista/7 problem only, I do not experience this on my XP machine at work

It may take one or two times for me to get it to happen, but it usually happens all the time

Does anybody know the default gradient code for the tabs, like active, inactive, hover and pressed state?

I'm trying to make the "home button as tab" but it doesn't look like it should...

Thanx ;)

from chrome://browser/skin/browser.css:

.tabbrowser-tab,
.tabs-newtab-button {
  -moz-appearance: none;

I don't know what else to do then, it happens to both my Win 7 PC and my Win Vista laptop... I'll try creating a fresh profile on my laptop to see if it does it there too

Please help. I would like bookmark labels and folder labels to be white instead of black in this style: http://userstyles.org/styles/36221

just change the last line from

#bookmarksPanel *,#history-panel *{color:grey!important}

to

#bookmarksPanel *,#history-panel *{color:white !important}

That's why I'm trying half hour while I got the specific part of your script to normal theme and getting weird results :p

Trying to figure out what I can do on dark windows backgrounds...

One solution is to give white titles-color on non selected tabs but with Dwrite on looking extremely ugly.

On transparent tabs? Is it easy to write a line about what you think?

.tabbrowser-tab { 
background-image: none !important;
color: #000 !important;
text-shadow: #fff 0px 0px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 3px !important; 
}

Check the situation right now...

And I'll try your code!

Damn... Seems that the code conflicts with another one and I don't get the effect like yours!...

...and I'm trying it on normal theme with very few changes...

It's hard to tell, but your screenshot looks like it already has a small text-shadow. I also use bold text which helps for visibility.

this is the exact code I use :

.tabbrowser-tab  { 
        padding:0 !important;
        margin-bottom: 0 !important;
        background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.2) 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.2)) !important;
        background-size: 200% auto !important; 
        font-family: tahoma !important;
        font-weight:bold !important; 
        text-shadow: #fff 0px 0px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 3px !important; 
}

Right!

I replaced with your code and already looking better.... I'll try bold now.

wow! Don't you have hover effect? Neither separated active and inactive tab?...

...Or all these are another part?

That's another part :)

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]):hover {
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.4) 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.4)) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] { 
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.9) 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.9)) !important;
}

Normally Dwrite looking much better without any shadow-effect but on transparent tab you certainly need one. That white-shadow did nice job.

Your script I suppose needs to rewrite it if you want border-radius on top 2px, right ( don't do anything... just asking ) ?

border-radius for the tabs? I use the -moz-border-image, so you'd either modify that image (chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png) or set it to none and define your own borders.

The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display. Navigation layout — Improved sub-navigation responsiveness. Disk allocation default — Changed the default file allocation method to trunc. Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.
