[Release] TabExtensions Mods v1.14

Read this and the ENTIRE thread before you do anything, there may be something you miss.

TabExtensions Mods v1.14

Mods By Acaeris

Many of you use Hills' or Susumu's Firefox themes and are still stuck with Firefox RC1, Hopefully not anymore. I have modded this file several times with various bugs and errors showing up every time, so fingers crossed, I've fixed it this time around.

This is not yet considered a stable mod, it has been tested but someone always finds something wrong with one skin or another.

Remember: The skins are designed with the standard TabExtensions in mind, I did this because Aquarius2003's original Safarifox theme is the basis of Hills' and Susumu's themes and was built for RC1. Some themes just wont work with this mod and without editing the theme itself, I can't make this mod work for it.

There are two versions of this mod:~

TabExtensions Mod v1.14 (Standard)

This one just swaps the icon and close button over, this is to be used by non Safarifox based skins.

----------------------------------

TabExtensions Mod v1.14 (Safarifox)

This one is for all Safarifox based skins.

Note: The mods have to be seperate due to the changes between the TabExtensions version Safarifox was built on and the latest version, I cannot merge them into one patch.

Installation

Installation is simple, but I've seen it messed up several times. Both of the mods are in XPI format (and this time I used the correct folders and install.js file), so you should only need to open the XPI in Firefox.

You should not need to edit your UserChrome.css, this version takes all the variables from the Skins own css file

An update to the Guide I posted should be made available soon, although it's more complicated than I thought.

Mirrors are appreciated as it's a friends server you are downloading from .

o_O Thanks !!!!

Working very nice here, installed first version by accident first and is working fine too, firefox 1.02

#268205

thanks a lot Acaeris. Your recent contributions with modding tab extensions is really appreciated. thanks to you, in combination with hill's skins, i can always look forward to having a great looking windows desktop, even when just browsing the net!

#268206

Thank you for your amazing work !!

Sorry to bother you, but I wanted a minor clarification. Does this mean I can now delete my userchrome.css or will it still work with the userchrome.css in place ?

#268211

I don't know, I've never edited it, your best bet is to copy the UserChrome.css elsewhere and test it. If it doesn't work put it back because something else is using it.

#268212

Acaerius-

Excellent work! This version for Safarifox is much more stable that the previous mod. It saves tabbed sessions nicely which Hills mods that I tried didn't work.

Would you know how I would edit my userchrome or extension file to allow favicons to stay on the tabs? The Hills configuration sort of works, but the hover state for the close button goes away and I think it causes other artifacts:

#content .tabs-closebutton {

width: 16px !important;

height: 16px !important;

background: none !important;

list-style-image: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-back.png') !important;

}

#content .tabs-closebutton:hover {

background: none !important;

list-style-image: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-back-hover.png') !important;

}

#content .tabs-closebutton:hover:active {

background: none !important;

list-style-image: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-back-pressed.png') !important;

}

#268253

This is the default code for the close buttons, if you know CSS it should be easy to change it in UserChrome:

tabbrowser tab[tab-hover="true"][tab-closebox-hover="true"]:hover toolbarbutton.tabs-closebutton.close-button

{

	background: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-back-hover.png') no-repeat;

}



tabbrowser tab[tab-hover="true"][tab-closebox-hover="true"]:active toolbarbutton.tabs-closebutton.close-button

{

	background: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-back-pressed.png') no-repeat;

}



tabbrowser tab[tab-hover="true"][selected="true"][tab-closebox-hover="true"]:hover toolbarbutton.tabs-closebutton.close-button

{

	background: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-front-hover.png') no-repeat;

}



tabbrowser tab[tab-hover="true"][selected="true"][tab-closebox-hover="true"]:active toolbarbutton.tabs-closebutton.close-button

{

	background: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/tabclose-front-pressed.png') no-repeat;

}

and this is the section of Hills' Safarifox theme that makes the icon blank, although I don't know how you'd specify to load the icon instead....

.tabbrowser-tabs .tab-icon {

  margin: 3px 1px 3px 0px !important;

  width: 16px;

  height: 16px;

  background: url('chrome://global/skin/icons/none.gif');

}

#268264

if you are like me and had that defect in your buttons where it was not inline if you used large icons

,its all due to the list-tabs icon in the icons folder its called list.png but don't delete it !

instead fix this mods buttons.css file (its just from the 1.13 mod copy over will do fine)

@namespace url('http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul'); 



/* toolbar buttons */ 



#tabextensions-tabslist-button { 

	list-style-image: url('chrome://tabextensions/skin/list.png');

}

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #tabextensions-tabslist-button {

	list-style-image: url('chrome://tabextensions/skin/list-small.png');

}



#tabextensions-loadTabSession-button { 

	list-style-image: url('chrome://tabextensions/skin/save.png');

}

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #tabextensions-loadTabSession-button {

	list-style-image: url('chrome://tabextensions/skin/save-small.png');

}



#tabextensions-closedTabsHistory-button { 

	list-style-image: url('chrome://tabextensions/skin/closed.png');

}

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #tabextensions-closedTabsHistory-button {

	list-style-image: url('chrome://tabextensions/skin/closed-small.png');

}



#tabextensions-tabslist-button, 

#tabextensions-loadTabSession-button,

#tabextensions-closedTabsHistory-button {

	-moz binding: url('chrome://tabextensions/content/tabextensions.xml#toolbarbutton-menu');

	-moz-box-orient: horizontal;

}

toolbarbutton [anonclass="toolbarbutton-icon-and-text"] {

	margin: 0;

	padding: 0;

}

Please note that maybe you could update your xpi file with this buttons.css

either way i already made it really idiot proof.

#268296

Note: This only works for non safarifox version. check use another appearance for Mac OS and the close button shift sides... isn't that cool or what

#268308

Worked great, thanks for the release!!

#268363

I'm curious, does anyone get weird functionality when clicking on links from Firefox's extension site? I can't do anything with xpi links in FF, and have to download them manually with another browser. Also, when I click the search icon on this website, it pops up the small search box but then loads the whole advanced search page. I'm not sure if this is related to the mod, could just be the extension..... Acaerius, have you thought about modding another tab extension such as tabmix? Could be less problematic, since even the author of tabbrowser says it's less buggy on his website.

#268414

roflmao. if he had to mod tabmix he would have to redo the whole code. this is redoing the code from the old mod, i'm sure Acaeris would just love to give up WoW to do a whole new code. why don't you try BugMeNot123. there problem with firefox extension site is not tabextension or the program its the user. you are ad blocking and you don't allow just any sites to install stuff on your computer, thus firefox blocks it. add the site to your allow list and it will popup normally. wanna know how ? read the help file.

#268454

got it all to work - thnax - bene - but one bug -

loading activity bar lies half under and does not show the name??? try to catch a screenie

#268469

The loading bar is a known error with ALL versions of tabextensions, just turn it off in the options menu...

If you really need it use the Status Bar it's more accurate anyway.

#268495

Thanks a lot for this mod. I really appreciate it

#268553

zatoichi- Adding extensions from mozilla.org is allowed by default and works without the tabbrowser extension installed. The mini popup for the search button on this forum also works by default. You come off too arrogant in your post if you don't know those facts. Your posts aren't helpful and are patronizing, so I'd rather you keep rolling on the floor.

#268554

Please do not turn my thread into a flame war. If there is anything going wrong with my mod, check to see if it happens with the normal version of TabExtensions, if it does, it's not my fault.

#268557

Man! Working perfectly fine for me! Woot! Finally, I can get Safarifox to work on the the latest 1.0.2 release! Thanks again!

#268578

man, i've stayed away from tbe for a while cuz it's just too damn buggy. this, however is a work of godliness! very well done, acaeris! thank you.

#268581

This is genious!! I also decided to wait for something like this to come out and hadn't try to manually fix anything, and was it worth the wait Thank you very much !

#268604

this is just great, a nifty idea... Thanks you very much!

is there a way to edit to colors in this extensions, to change the purple color to match my theam color?

#268610

What purple colour? There is no purple.

#268619

when I installed the extension, there were purple colored tabs this is with LutitiumGUI visual style for WindowsXP by KoL, I did not like the look, so I uninstalled it....

then installed the other extension, then wondered how to change the double type |sarfari| that I installed on a Vaio.

as I was snooping around, there was an option tab next to the update and uninstall, so I clicked it and discovered just how powerful this extension really is, boy oh BoY, there were many settings and loads of options, well after making a series of un_remembered clicks, the colors were gone. and the neat thing is now, the tabs are opening up behind the current page, which is neat. (like is you were at a gallery site)

you obviously spent a lot of time into the design and development into this great application (extension), this is something that I could never phantom....Thank God, we have creators like you around, and Business students like me around!!!

#268644

Can we have some screenshots? thanks

#269087

I have just tried this out... It is VERY unstable...

These are the problems I have found:

- Purple background on tabs (as mensioned)

- When loading, Animations and text get chopped off half way

- When I open a page in a new tab, it opens in the current tab rather than a new one as I told it to...

grrr.......

When can I expect a stable release?
