Chromifox Basic & Chromifox Extreme

[Triton]

this started a few builds ago. i think i posted about it then.

Comment out the old css in the modded chromiglass and replace with the below:

Code: Select all

#toolbar-glassbar{visibility:collapse!important;height:1px!important;background-color:#f2f7fd!important}
.tab-text{opacity:.99!important}
#main-window[cfx-tabs="top"] .tabbrowser-tabs{background:#000 url("chrome://chromiglass/skin/tabstrip-bg-glass.png") bottom left repeat-x!important}
#main-window[cfx-tabs="default"] .tabbrowser-tabs{background:transparent url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tabstrip-bg.png") top left repeat-x!important}
#main-window[cfx-tabs="top"] #navigator-toolbox{padding-top:28px!important;margin-top:0!important}


It's not going to directly take care of that anomaly but it fixes a few other things.

Sadly, the new build again removes the checkmarks on greasemonkey scripts that are enabled when running on the mac with 3.5.4

THe last build had this fixed, but the new build broke it.

Looking at the tab closely the 'gap' appears because the inside of the windows border has a narrow vertical black line. It's not your theme since an Explorer window has this same line.

I had a series of error for this build because of a corrupt build system. I make sure that all the mac stuff is in place for the next ver. sorry!

Chromifox Extreme Carbon v2.0:

1. the 'bookmark this page' icon is not replaced by a custom favicon when it is available
2. cannot drag the 'bookmark this page' icon in order to e.g. create shortcut in Explorer or open new tab

Since the default Mac theme, Firelight, leaves much to be desired, and few themes are currently compatible with Fx 3.6b1, I've stumbled upon Chromifox and must say that it's quite a nice piece of work. With the Mac version of Chrome absent and lagging, I've never experienced the UI firsthand, but I find that it is more attractive than I thought in usage, rather than just based on screenshots.

The reason I'm posting is because I had a couple issues with the CE 3.13 package, which seemed to have been fixed in 3.2.1.

The insertion arrow pointers for tab dragging are now properly drawn with the tabs in the bottom "default" position, and the status bar preference, which seemed to have no effect, has been eliminated altogether in 3.2.

However, there are still two remaining issues, at least when using CE with the Mac version of Fx. I don't know if they're bugs, 3.6-specific bugs, or design decisions, but they can be troubling for Mac users.

They both involve the absence of close buttons, first in the CE options dialog box, and secondarily in the History and Bookmarks sidebars.

When the CE options dialog box (sheet in OS X) is displayed, there is no obvious visual method to accept the settings, or dismiss them and close the dialog. The user must press ESC to close the dialog. Screenshots for other OSes seem to indicate that they have close buttons that aren't present in the Mac environment.

The History and Bookmark sidebars also lack close buttons that every Fx theme I've used has; the user must use the toolbar buttons to toggle them on and off.

The latter omissions may or may not be a design decision, but the omission in the CE options is a serious flaw in UI that should be corrected.

One last minor gripe I have is the tight vertical spacing for items in the bookmark bar menus, which I assume can be tweaked through the userChrome. If anyone can provide guidance as to how to do that, it would be appreciated.

Once again, nice work. The thoroughness and level of polish overall makes this one of the top Fx themes.

Thanks! I working on another build that should address of the issues. I recently had a problem with my build system which caused a lot of problems. I'm still trying to sort them all out.

I'm now using Chromifox Extreme 3.2.5 and I found another bug:
Firefox opens popup windows as new tabs instead of showing the popup window when Chromifox Companion is enabled.

You can easily test it yourself:

1. Disable Chromifox Companion and go to http://www.popupcheck.com/popup_manual/clickreload.asp
2. Click on the link. A new popup window opens.
3. Reanable Chromifox Companion and click on the same link. Firefox opens a new tab instead of the popup window.

You can change that without disabling Companion by going into about:config and finding this value browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction and changing it to 2. Restart FF and test.


By the way for everybody else I uploaded Version 3.2.5 to AMO late last night. Hopefully I have everything all squared away.

Hopefully I have everything all squared away.

No, it still change the tabs width from other themes

Uploaded a new 3.2.5 with this issue addressed.

Version 3.2.5 seems to introduce a bug on the Mac at least (have not tested other systems). The little pop-up dialog that appears when you click on the name of a secure page on the right side of the address bar appears in the upper left corner as a little box about 9 pixels wide, with virtually no content visible in it. The previous version of the theme did not do this. This is with Firefox 3.6b1.

On Chromifox Extreme Carbon 1.0.3: When I press F11 for full screen mode, the navbar/tabbar/menubar hide but a grey empty bar remains on top of the screen, taking up space (overlapped by the navbars when they show upon mouseover of top). Does not seem to happen with Chromifox Extreme 3.2.5, so there should be a fairly straightforward solution...?

OS: Windows 7 32 RTM
Firefox: 3.5.4

Upgrade to the latest and this is what I get:



Bugged sidebar and the abnormally wide pages button in the tabbar.

Also, how do I move findbar back to bottom. And I can't seem to change browser.tabs.tabMaxWidth anymore. It keeps returning to value of 195. :/
