huh? i assumed that you extracted the default FF theme before messing around with it.
anyway this will probably set you in the right direction (excuse the pun!)
.bookmark-item:hover > .bookmark-image-right {
background: url("chrome://browser/skin/dropmarker.png") no-repeat center right;
}
-------------------
Regarding macfoxII, you tried View>Toolbar>Customize> "use small icons"?
To extract theme resources, go to x:Documents and SettingsApplication DataMozillaFirefoxProfilesxxxxxxxxx.defaultextensions Chromemacfox.jar

With the mods regarding the bookmarks toolbar, yes I'm editing the default userChrome.css.
In the meantime, I've been using the macfoxII theme, but when I go to the containing folder, there doesn't appear to be a jar file anywhere. In the chrome folder I only see tmp.xpi. The ones I've installed from the Firefox site only have that, whereas the ones I've installed from a jar file on my harddrive have the jar file in the chrome folder.
I've tried switching to small icons, but then they're too small. I was hoping to just resize them down a bit (although I doubt that would work, from looking at some other themes

did you follow the path i posted? make sure to unhide all files and folders first.
last resort would be to find/search the entire drive using the string '*.jar', or macfox.
you can also try re-downloading macfox, but with the option to 'save to disk"...

Yeah I had to do "save link as" in order to get the jar file.
What I'd really like to do is modify the default theme to have the bookmarks toolbar elements from the macfoxII theme, and leave the rest as the default (the tabs, menu toolbar icons, etc). Proving to be rather difficult and confusing. :confused:

well, the best i can suggest is to compare browser.css files of both macfox II (you can actually open the .xpi file with winzip, jeez!) and the default (in c:program filesmozilla firefoxchromeclassic.jar). your main concern would be under the heading 'bookmark buttons'. then just copy the requisite .pngs. really confusing initially, but after a while, you'll get the hang of it... cheers!

I spent the most of last night trying to do that, was sure I copied everything needed, but for some reason it just wasn't showing the images. It displayed the toolbar background, and some elements of hover/pressed (the middle image) but not the rest, blah.
Think I'll just have to stick with using macfoxII for now.

Hey can someone help me out. Ive tried to use Firefox 3 with my windows blinds skin (I have windowsblinds 6.0) and though everything skins fine the menus on firefox 3 come out messed up. I tried skin titlebar only and the enable if menus appear blank in application but this just causes the menus to expand and only lets some options in the menu become visible. Has anyone else had this problem/ found a solution. It is really annoying and is preventing me from making the switch. Oh yeah I have Vista 32 bit.

Solved somehow.
Dunno how.
Anyway, FF looking much nicer now, but is there any way to get my bookmarks toolbar centered?
(I don't care if it isn't like that on a mac, look below my avatar

)
EDIT: Done.

if anyone's still checking this thread, could someone tell me which file i need to edit in the .jar file of my theme to get rid of the one pixel thick white line on the bottom of my active tabs (see attachment).
i've checked all the files in global/toolbar, but i can't seem to track down the one responsible. i'm sure i'll work it out eventually, but any help to speed it up would be appreciated.

i've had a root around in that file and tried changing a few values, but i can't seem to track down the rogue element that is causing the border.

I'm on the Mac with Firefox 3.05, could someone create a script that actually works to make the close tab go to the opposite side on grApple Delicious, (the right side as apposed to the left) and in adition to make tabs smaller horizontally, so they don't take up as much room on the tab bar.
