[Help] need tester for Firefox mod

I am working on writing a tutorial that lets you use various Safarifox themes without the use of the Compact Menu or Tab Browser Extension extensions. Just by editing the userChrome. The main reasons I'm asking for a tester is because I am using the latest version of the 1.5 Beta (which there don't appear to be any Safarifox themes for as of yet), and I don't want to downgrade to 1.0.7 just to test this.

If I don't get any testers in a couple of days I'm going to release the tutorial anyway, and people can just tell me if they run across any problems.

@kira:

Well, the menus are gone (although it does bring to mind the question of how does one access the menus when you need to...) but the font color fix didn't work. My font color is still a light gray on the tabs.

I copied and pasted your code into my userchrome.css file like I was supposed to, so I'm not quite sure why it didn't work.

#329571

The code for hiding the menus works jsut fine. You should probably make a note that the user can make a copy of UserChrome.css without the code to hide the menus. The user can then switch between them if menus are needed.

ex.

UserChrome.css - the one that works

and

UserChrome_menus.css - for when menus are needed

The user can rename the first one "UserChrome_noMenus.css" then rename the second one to "UserChrome.css. Once the chore is done, the user can rename the files again and go back to not having menus.

As for the text color, I already use that code for my own colors, it works just fine.

well if you really need to access the menu you can always just quickly rename the file to userChrome1.css or something, restart FF, use the menu, then rename it back xD. and of course there are the various shortcuts for doing things.

i'm puzzled about the tabs tho . try making the first part this instead:

/* Change color of active tab */

tab{

-moz-appearance: none !important;

}

tab[selected=true] {

color: #000000 !important;

}

i didnt add the first part before because when i tried it, it sort of stripped the visual-style appereance from the tabs, leaving them plain instead of however it is according to the visual style. (this was using FF Classic tho lol).

[edit]

i tested the text color myself and it seems to be working fine x_x. what FF theme are you using?

#329596

For tab text color, try this one:

.tab-text { color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; }

isn't safire a safarifox for 1.5? i'm using it now

@sketching that's perfect! thanks .

@shockme17 bazon bloch updated his 2 Firefox themes yes, and they are both excellent themes. however, many, infact 9/10 of the other Safarifox themes require the use of some extension or another. if i wanted to use Samui FF theme (for example), i wouldn't be able to unless i installed that extension.

since sketching provided a perfect fix for this, the tutorial is now complete. will give full credit for the contribution and all that. thanks very much! also thanks to those who volunteered for testing.
