I absolutely love it. My only issue is that I can't use any of the custom menu buttons I've made or change the text in the menu button to read "Firefox" even though I'm using Minefield. I'm sure this is due to the method we were using to do that; they were dropmarker arguments, and you've somehow removed the dropmarker in your theme (which looks really good, it's just inconvenient for my scripts). Any ideas on how we could manipulate the menu button text in Stylish while using this theme? Or is there some code we could use to bring the dropmarker back?

Post the code you're using and I'll get it working.

The most basic version would probably be

#appmenu-button .button-text { display:none !important; }
#appmenu-button dropmarker:before { content: "Firefox" !important; }

. If I had an alternative to this I could use it with everything else.

Alright, I think I removed some code in the theme. I'll see what I can do.

Good enough, I should be able to work with that. Thanks a lot!

Update: Well, it kind of works; when I plugged it into my Phoenix button script it put the text before the icon instead of after.

Update 2: Changed "before" to "after" and it worked ;)

Can someone help me make the bookmarks Bar Aero and make the text more visible while its Aero. Also make it a little slimmer than it is by default to go with the theme.

So far I have this. Most of it I picked up from SoapyHamHocks post earlier.

#PersonalToolbar {
  border-top: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(255,255,255,.1), rgba(255,255,255,.1)) !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
}

#PersonalToolbar .bookmark-item:not(menuitem){
  color: white !important;
  padding: 0 5px !important;
}

What about something like this?

#PersonalToolbar {
  border: 0 !important;
  -moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass !important;
  background: transparent !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
  margin: -4px 0 1px 0 !important;
}

#PersonalToolbar .bookmark-item:not(menuitem){
  text-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(255,255,255,.75),
               0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3) !important;
}

Thanks that worked beautifully! oh one more thing is there a way to make the active tab stand out more maby make it darker? I really cant tell the difference right now.

I hope we are allowed to give opinions. :)

To start off, for an alpha this is great. I'm utilizing the stylish add-ons you posted, as well as renaming my Minefield to show the current nightly date I'm using. All in all, it's great but I think some things need to be changed. Transparency is a bit too extreme for my tastes and on darker backgrounds the text becomes almost unreadable (including the bookmarks). Active/Inactive tabs need work as well as they are almost indistinguishable. Finally, I understand the whole white button concept, but I think the App Tabs look really off in their current state, especially when you add your own custom url App Tabs as they are in color.

Other than that, it looks great and I'm glad you decided to release it in it's current state. It's definitely usable. :D

SoapyHamHocks: I tried your new reload/stop buttons on URL bar, but it doesn't seem to work with this theme. Do you have a version for this theme?

Thanks for the feedback :) I know some things need to be changed. We need to think of some other ways to do the tabs and reduce some of the transparency in the theme. I could cook up a simple combined reload/stop script if you want, but we wanted to hold off until we made some slightly smaller reload/stop icons.

Edit: I noticed you're using "small icons" mode, I would suggest you don't for now :p I haven't worked on that at all so its a bit cramped.

SoapyHamHocks can you please write me a quick script to differentiate between Active and Non active tabs?? I really wanna use this theme but this problem is almost a deal braker. Thanks

It's fine, I can wait. There's no need to make you do more work when it's not a big deal at all.

I went to normal icons, but went right back, lol. It is a little cramped now that you say so, but it's perfectly usable as is. :)

Here you go, its simple but works for now.

toolbar[mode="icons"][currentset*="urlbar-container,reload-button,stop-button"] #urlbar {
  -moz-border-radius: 2px 0 0 2px !important;
  border-right: 0 !important;
}

#urlbar-container + #reload-button,
#urlbar-container + #reload-button + #stop-button{
  border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.35) !important;
  border-left: 0 !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 0 2px 2px 0 !important;  
  -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.4) !important;
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.90) !important;
  margin-left: -3px !important;
  background-clip: padding-box !important;
}

#urlbar-container + #reload-button {
  padding: 0 4px 0 4px !important;
}

#urlbar-container + #reload-button + #stop-button {
  padding: 0 4px 0 5px !important;
}

Alright, I'll try a few things.

Edit: Do you think this makes it any better?

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.20) -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.30),
                                         rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%) !important;
}

Edit: Do you think this makes it any better?

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.20) -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.30),
                                         rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%) !important;
}

It Make a very slight Difference but its still not very clear.

Try this:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background: rgba(255,255,255,.20) -moz-linear-gradient(rgba(255,255,255,.53),
                                         rgba(255,255,240,0) 144%) !important;
}

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
