A million little questions

[ehume]

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this thread.

So here's my question. What does the arrow point to?



What is the selector's name? And where is the code for it?

On my themes I'm getting the text but the background is invisible.

Thanks.

Ed, also, that's Bug 628654 - Show connecting / waiting / loading status messages in small overlay on top of content at bottom of screen - and couple follow-ups.

[ehume]

Thanks. I can work with that.

So what's with the @media stuff?

Yuck. Complicated. Thanks for the ref. It's better than the one I found - and more appalling.

One of the warnings I get when I upload themes is that I do not have an <em> type. Is the following correct?

Code: Select all

    <em:type>4</em:type>

[mcdavis]

Yes, that's correct.

Were you able to upload? I tried three times today and the process failed each time.

Anyone seen any backdoor movement on this?

I'm not seeing any actual movement in bugzilla and looking at the latest Nightly build I'm not seeing anyway to theme this. Which I guess means that at this point Firefox 6 will ship with a broken feature unless it's yanked.

Not trying to upload. Just doing some advance work on my version 6 themes. The compatibility checker always complains about my not giving my themes a type.

It also complains about localization. Is there a localization tag for "all" (all regions) or no localization?

Patrick, no movement that I've seen.

I don't have any localization in my install.rdf, and I don't get a complaint. Maybe adding em:type 4 is enough to make it realize it shouldn't look for localizations?

[patrickjdempsey]

I've consistently gotten localization "warnings" for themes since they started the checks. Best to just ignore it.

We are finally seeing some movement here. They've taken my advice (which is apparently what Chrome also does) of using transparency instead of changing the color.

50% transparency seems a little too faded IMO, but this is certainly better for all of us than a hardcoded color that will never match our themes.
