New saf like preferences panel
Thanks for the help Ive recieved....
-------------------------------------------
To do:
Like in the first release with some modifications.
Note: the theme was tested on three diff machines without errors.
All was tested on fresh installed firefox, so I suggest to backup everything and uninstall/reinstall firefox if u have troubles with the first release....
Step 1:
Download the Mozilla-Firefox-0.8 Application.
Install Firefox.......
Close Firefox.......
Get the new SAFARI.WBA Windowblins theme from the PIXELPERFECT.rar archive.
WindowBlind 4,1 or higher needed!!!
Install the new WB theme.
IMPORTANT: Use the safari theme as per-application theme, USE it only for firefox.exe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Done..
-----------------------------------------------Restart Firefox
Step 2: /extensions/
Download/install the Compactmenu.xpi extension.
Link: http://downloads.mozdev.org/cdn/compact/compact.xpi
Download/install the tabbrowser extension.
Link: http://white.sakura.ne.jp/%7Epiro/xul/xpi/...tensions_en.xpi
Done....
-----------------------------------------------Close Firefox
-----------------------------------------------restart Firefox
See if everything is all right....
-----------------------------------------------Close Firefox
Step 3: /File replacement/
Backup and replace the following files:
- CLASSIC.JAR
located: e.g.: c:\program files\mozilla firefox\chrome\
Replaces the default gui
- BROWSER.JAR
located: e.g.: c:\program files\mozilla firefox\chrome\
replaces some other settings
- EN-US.JAR
located: e.g.: c:\program files\mozilla firefox\chrome\
replaces some structure settings
- COMPACT.JAR
located: e.g.: c:\program files\mozilla firefox\chrome\
replaces some icons and settings
- COMM.JAR
located: e.g.: c:\program files\mozilla firefox\chrome\
replaces some icons and settings
- TABEXTENSIONS.JAR
located: e.g.: c:\documents and settings\user(your user name)\application data\phoenix\profiles\default\xxxxx.sit\chrome
replaces some icons and settings
- USERCHROME.CSS
Important!!!
In this release there is no userchrome.css so backup your and delete!!!!!!!!!
- PREFS.JS
To bypass errors place this file in the .sit directory.
This file consists my settings.
-----------------------------------------------restart Firefox
Step 4: Setting the GUI....
Do the following steps /short form/:
-1- Rightclick on the toolbar, set customize.....
-2- Place the comactmenu icon (two aA letters) into the toolbar....press done....
the menubar becomes empty when u choose the done button.
-3- Now u should place each icons to their proper place....INTO THE MENUBAR, NOT THE TOOLBAR! WHERE NOW U CANT SEE THE MENU /EMPTY BAR AT THE TOP/!!!!!
(some buttons should move from the toolbar some from the customisation panel)
Button 1 BACK, Button 2 FORWARD, Button 3 RELOAD, Button 4 COMPACTMENU /the two aA letters/, 5 ADD, 6 STOP, 7 HOME.
-4- Move the entire urlbar from the toolbar /original place/ to the menubar next to the home button....
-5- Place the GO button next to the urlbar
-6- Move the entire searchbar from the toolbar /original place/ to the menubar next to the go button....and press done!
-7- In the view/toolbar menu uncheck the NAVIGATION TOOLBAR......and tada the menubar/with icons/ will be the only toolbar....
Note!!!!
In first release I have noticed that this was difficult for some of u.
So let it be clear: after the whole process only the bookmarks bar and the menu bar are in use the navigation bar shouldnt be visible.
Are u ready??? If u replaced the prefs.js u bypassed the tabextensions settings.
-----------------------------------------------Restart Firefox
In this release i did not include the google.gif/png file.. So if u want replace this file, do it
The location of the original icon is:
C:/Program Files/ Mozilla Firefox/Searchplugins/google.gif
-----------------------------------------------Restart Firefox
Something important. This release now has the ability to use shadows under the bookmarks text. It is not possible to set it as default, so everyone of u must set it on every computer. From one hand it is extremly difficult on the other hand it is logical and easy.
In the main rar there is a folder called extra. This folder consists two files.
One html and one png.
The html carries info on my bookmark settings, the png carries the shadows
for the first file.
If u want to see how it works, please follow my instructions:
Step 1: Backup your bookmark.html file / it is in the .sit directory/
Step 2: replace the original with mine.
Step 3: Open the classic.jar file and navigate to the chrome/browser directory.
Place the png into this directori.
Step 4: restart firefox.
Now u should see a new bookmark strip with shadows.
Step 5: remove the png, replace my file with yours, restart.
How to make your own?????
U must be a Photoshop expert....
-Set your favorite bookmarks.
Use it /your bookmarks/ as a template ss and modifie my Png.
I know it is difficult every single pixel must be in its proper place.
Please try, have fun, good luck..........
There is a bug in the original pack wich crashes the preferences settings.
GO ON IN THE TOPIC, there is a bugsolutions.rar file and instructions .........
S O R R Y!
Have fun.
One thing at the and:
Fell free to modifie the whole mod, do not wait my permission. Post your modification(s).

Text on tabs is still a little bit too low, but I can live with that.
I've already modified this, I'd like to know if there's anything else.
