Rockin Firefox 3.5

“If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is the slogan of the complacent, the arrogant or the scared." - Colin Powell

A mere day after Chromifox...I had to move on. The features I liked didn't depend on this GUI, and in fact, I was quite bothered by the Title bar being a different color, and there was no good way to get rid of the title bar without loosing functionality (like being able to move the window). Beyond that, the Chromifox Extreme theme kept messing up menu navigation (menu items would disappear if I moved the mouse too fast). Finally, there are some nice functions, tweaks, and extensions, that I like.

So here we go again:

1. Install Chromifox Basic Theme - simpler and prettier

2. Overly Nit-Picky Tweaks
a.Adjust the size of the url font
i.Navigate to /home/USER/.mozilla/firefox-3.5/adeikskt.default/chrome
ii.Open userChrome-example.css
iii.Add the line
#urlbar {font-size: 80% !important;}
b.Adjust url-Autocomplete font color and size settings
i.Open userChrome-example.css (see previous step if you happened to close it)
ii.Add
.ac-comment {font-size: 100% !important; color: #444444 !important; }
.ac-comment[selected='true'] {font-style: bold !important; color: #444444 !important; }
.ac-url-text {font-size: 100% !important; color: #444444 !important; }
.ac-url-text[selected='true'] { color: #444444 !important; }
c.Save as userChrome.css
d.Close all Browser windows and reopen Shiretoko.
