[Theme] Classic Compact

[roparr2]

It's just the folder icons that interest me, so I can get more folders on the Bookmark toolbar. But I've already added MultiRow Bookmarks.

As far as I know, all bookmark toolbar icons use the same style rule. The way I fit more stuff on the bar is to keep the titles short.

My folder names are only 2 letters, but I also have just a 17" CRT monitor. So if I changed the size of the folder icons, all the other toolbar icons would shrink, too?

Anyway, finally gave in to Multirow, but will take a while to get used to the new arrangement.

I have a 15" laptop display, but I have it pushed up to 1400x1050. For me using Classic Compact, the address bar is only about 1/4" high.

You have better eyes.

You have better eyes.

Maybe, but it took time for me to get used to it. I started out at 1024x768 and then over the years stepped it up incrementally as I got used to it. What I discovered is that my screen was clearer at 1400x1050 because this was the native resolution for my laptop screen. I also turned off Windows XP clear type so all the letters are nice and sharp.

I do a lot of programming so I need as much horizontal row length as possible for long lines of code.

If there are any reasonably good graphics designers out there, I am in need of assistance. When Classic Compact is used in conjunction with my extension "Classic Compact Options" there is an option to merge the menu bar into one button. This button has an icon, that doesn't look so good because my icon design skills aren't that great. I'd really like to replace the icon with a better looking icon in my next release of Classic Compact, which has become necessary in order to support changes FF v3.6.

Any assistance with designing a new icon would be greatly appreciated. The existing icon is:

Can I make the folder icons smaller?

You might be able to add something to your userChrome.css along the lines of the following:

Code: Select all

.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {width:14px !important;height 14px !important}

16px is the normal size. I don't know what will happen if you try to make icons smaller. Some icons might look goofy.

Doesn't work. Icons didn't resize. Have tried it several times since I posted.

try this:

Code: Select all

#wrapper-personal-bookmarks .toolbarpaletteitem-box,
.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
  width: 12px !important;
  height: 12px !important;
}


14px will make them fuzzy because it isn't a good fractional scaling. 12px is 3/4... they will be a little soft, but not too bad.

I've tried several others, and this is the first one that worked!! Doesn't matter if the icons are fuzzy, I just need max space and lots of bkmk folders on my Multirow Toolbar. Thanks.

Hi Ken.

I have a bug to submit, I didn't see it in previous post (but I haven't read all of them!).
Here the problem: Since I've install Classic Option add-on, in all the options menu of firefox, I have the same graphiq for every butons. They all appear uncheked. So I can't see what's the option cheked and uncheked, and can't see what i'm doing when I click on them.

Did some utilisator already uncounter this problem?
I'd love not to have to uninstall classic because i'm sensible of the ergonomic gain it offers me.

I'm on XP SP3, with firefox 3.5.5.
Thanks for reading!

Cristof77,

I believe your problem is that in Classic Compact Options you have the option "OS System Colors" set to "very dark/black backgrounds". You need to set this option to "light/gray backgrounds (default)".

hi Ken,

I love your Classic Compact theme and it's the only one I've ever wanted to use. I'm reinstalling it in FX after a Windows crash and I'm getting the following error when I try to download it from the AddOn page:

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/downloads/fi ... ar?src=api

because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption)
-261

Please help!!

[KLB]

The download issue has been fixed, but it will take a couple hours for it to become visible on AMO. I ran a fowl of bugs in the AMO website.
