Two Firefox questions

Cherio, your favourite Dave-guy is in need of a little help with Firefox skinning:

1) Is there an easy way to import the navigation toolbar from another theme, say SafireMilk, into Firefox' default theme? I've been messing around with the browser.css file, but without much luck. I want to use the deafult 2.0 theme, but I can't stand the navigation icons.

2) I'm quite diggin the FlatStyle extension, but for some reason I'm getting this weird little box whenever I hover my mouse over something (see attached picture). Have any of you experienced the same thing, or have an idea of how to get rid of it?

I'd really appreciate any help. I've been searching all over the place, but knowing me, I've probably been searching in all the wrong places.

Thanks!

1)

I'll need to do some digging on how to do that. There's two ways to do it, change the default theme, or use a customization file in your Firefox profile. I'll try and dig both ways out.

2)

The weird little box looks like it should be the AltText for an image or possibly the extension is trying to show the link as a popup instead of having it in the status bar.

If you have any other extensions, try disabling them then restarting Firefox. If the box doesn't pop up, then there's a conflict with one of your other extensions. Otherwise, it's being caused by the FlatStyle extension, and you'll just have to live with it or see if the extension author can fix it.

Also try with the default Firefox theme if you aren't using that one. It could be your Firefox theme causing it, too.

Thanks a million for your helpful response, ssmith! You were absolutely right about the extension conflict. Apparently FlatStyle and Google Toolbar don't like each other very much. It's acutally quite funny, Google Toolbar was the last extension I would have thought to disable. Thank god that little box isn't follwing my cursor around anymore!

As for importing the navigation toolbar icons from another theme, if you find out how to do it please let me know.

Again, thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

Check your PMs.

I'd love to know this too. Can you PM me with it too;)?

^Done.

#451369

Can you post it here so everybody knows how??

^What are you, the police?

Create a file called userChrome.css in the chrome subdirectory of your Firefox profile folder. Take a gander here:

Then, take the following images from the SaFire jar file and put them in the chrome subdirectory of your profile folder:

browser/buttons.png

browser/buttons-small.png

browser/bookmarks.png

browser/bookmarks-hover.png

browser/bookmarks-pressed.png

Make sure you save the userChrome.css file, then close and restart Firefox. The buttons should work in both small and large icon mode. At least, they are working for me, right now.

The code is a little messy because I ripped it straight out of the browser.css file from SaFire. I'd clean it up some more, but since it works... why mess with it?

If there's legal ramifications, I don't know. I've always been under the impression the code was fair game but the images were off limits unless you credit the author. But just to play it safe:
