that blue bk color when selected is from the skin u are using on windows, not from the firefox skin!!

I am using pretty cool Panther VS from KoL... and I think it's very close to real Panther :D ... of course I'm really like "your and Co" work :woot: and I want it to be perfect!

Is it possible to see at [real... no... not real, just alternative ;) ] Mac Pinstripe screens?

I seem to get an error when I use the latest classic.jar file.  The error comes up  "no XBL binding...."  Is there something I may be doing wrong ??  I have installed all the other mods and have had no problem until this one.

I appreciate any help !!!!

The first time this happened for me, I renamed my FireFox profile folder and created a new one. Then everything works again.

Try renaming the folder (without FireFox running) and create a new profile. If that works, then you can try and get back your bookmarks from that saved profile. Hope that helps. ;)

Hmmm, someone hasn't been reading this thread...:rolleyes:

DO NOT install extensions while the pinstripe classic.jar is installed, re-install the ORIGINAL classic.jar, install your extensions, then replace your original classic.jar with your pinstripe classic.jar. This has been stressed over and over in this thread.

#116626

This has happened to a lot of users. Why it happens is beyond me. However, if you use an unskinned version of Firefox adding extensions works without any problems.

So this means that you have two options...

1) revert back to the original theme before adding any extensions, or...

2) uninstall Firefox and start from scratch. Download and install all the extensions you wish to use and once you're satisfied, then apply the pinstripe theme.

Either method should work, and you'll probably find that option 2 is your safest bet. I recommend backing up your profile folder first and the Firefox folder, just incase ;)

I'm not sure if this is a problem with the pinstripe theme itself or to do with how firefox handles its themes? The fact that 0.7 themes don't work with 0.8 means that the skinning feature has been changed so this could likely be a side-effect.

Anyone know any more on this?!?

#116629

well, sorry, i didnt have ennough time to read 24 pages of posts. anyway, thanks for the help though. so is it possible that i missed a link to the original classic.jar file too? I would have saved the original after i was done customizing in the first place but I was unaware and deleted all the backup once I was satisfied with what I had.

#116641

There is no link to the original unless someone wants to post it, but that was one of the things stressed on installation of the pinstripe classic.jar - to save the original one for just such an occassion...So I guess you should backup what you have including your profile folder and re-install FireFox to get the original classic.jar back.

#116648

eh, i got a copy from my friend. much easier that way :)

anyway, if anyone else is looking for it...

jondb.com/upload

it's called classic.rar but when you download it rename it ro classic.jar and you're all set.

hi, first off, great theme. does anyone else have this little alignment problem with icons on the address bar? i'm using magi's update 4 and also tbe. If i can get this fixed, it will look perfect. Thanks.

#116768

First off I'd like to say bravo to all you that have helped get this skin where it currently is. Magbi9's tutorial was great, and all the threads up to now have really helped me get Firefox finally looking great! One question I have though in regards to the ongoing TabBrowser extension battle... I compared FireFox with the extension on and off, and noticed that the grey background (not the grey *annoying!* 'box' surrounding the tabs, the entire thing) behind the tabs is darker with the extension on than it is when it is off... I guess I should have looked at the Mac version before posting, but is this supposed to look this way, and if not, how would i go about editing the tabbrowser settings (FireFox settings?) to correct this? Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work guys! -Artaq

Nice that work perfectly even with other language firefox version....

Thanks for the works you've done.... :D

#116798

Max Power: Many thanks for the screenshot link.

My experience,

1. install firefox

2. install compact menu extension

3. install tabbrowser extension

4. replace classic.jar with magi9's

5. follow the tutorial

Everything's great....

Loved it.

Hope to have the mac animation on the tab, and blue folders in the bookmark.

Waiting the the update...

With winrar, extract the leftcap.png file.

Using MS Powertoys Image Resizer, change the dimensions to fit. Probably 24x24 or something like that.

Replace the file back to where you extracted it from.

Iterate and repeat as necessary for fitting cap.

Hope that helps.

#116814

great, thanks, adding a pixel along the bottom of the leftcap fixed it. I found one last bug in the bookmarks bar. It happens when you click a bookmark on it and it looks like the drop hoverbar drops down a pixel. Keep up the great work!!

For ppl wondering why the tabs part appears darker on some screenshots and lighter on others (mac and such) the answer is: different gamma setting. The images in the classic.jar are the original ones but they might seem lighter on some screenshots cause macs and most graphics creators use a screen gamma of 1.8 while the default pc gamma nowadays is 2.2 wich appears darker. If you have photoshop you can use adobe gamma settings in your control panel to set the desired gamma you want. If you dont have photoshop there are allot of other apps you can google for on the net. I have adjusted mine to a gamma of 1.95 sort of a midlle of 1.8 and 2.2 but leaning more towards the mac gamma ;)

#116836

downloaded firefox, read the tutorials, and applied this awesome skin! wow ..... just wanna say excellent work to the creator, no problems for me so far :) cheers!

How can I make the pinstripe background show on the menu (file edit view etc...) buttons? I have tried reading most of the css and others but I can't find it. I like to keep them showing especially with the problems I had with compact menu, but it liiks like crap unskinned. :canadian:

bump.... Anyone have any help please?

What would happen if I changed my gamma to 1.8? How exactly would it affect my system. And just out of curiosity - is there any reason why the two OS's have a different gamma setting?

I've noticed the gamma settings on my comp but never really bothered looking into them all that much. >.<

#117061

So did I, I tried that today & it makes my desktop brighter (i hope this is the right word in english), I had to turn it back to default cause I wasn't able to work that way, maybe it's just that I have to get used to the new settings or my monitor/screen isn't the best to do that with.

#117128

I didn't think gamma had much to do with what I was asking, except for the fact that whoever created the graphic for that bg could have possibly had a *brighter* gamma setting, thus making it seem correct on their system, and dark on mine... But who knows.

#117219

Is there a way to skin the "All Downloads Finished" popup thing?

#117271

here's a nice site explainin' allot about gamma stuff. http://www.photoscientia.co.uk/Gamma.htm

#117429

Th skin is really nice and all but is there a way to use the classic.jar as a regular skin, not replacing various files. There are other people on this comp and I don't want to mess up their skin settings...

EDIT: The new tab button has seemed to become inactive aswell, anyway to fix this? I cannot open a new tab at all, not through the menu, not through the button and not with the shorcut, ctrl-t.
