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.

    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
