Problems with bookmark drag-drop icons (FF 14, custom theme)

Post by XTAL256 »

I have two problems with my current theme on Firefox 14.

1. When dragging a URL into a bookmark folder (either in the menu or on the toolbar), the sub menu becomes really high. This only happens when i move the cursor to the bottom of the submenu, or if it's empty.

2. When i do the same and move the cursor between existing items, it shows a folder icon on the left. Instead, it should show some sort of arrow to indicate that the item will be dropped there. The default theme just has a short horizontal bar. I would like to do the same.

So where are the css styles for this? It's impossible to use DOM Inspector or anything else to determine what styles are applied, because the menu disappears when i try to inspect it #-o.

DOM inspector popup helper:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... inspector/

The code should be in menu.css and/or popup.css, but it's hard to say.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Ok, i might give that add-on a go. Or just poke around in menu.css and popup.css. Although i still wouldn't know what to look for, so yeah that add-on might help.

thanks.

EDIT: Actually, that add-on didn't help much. I need to see what styles are applied when i hover over the menu. Specifically, i need to see what is setting that icon. Looks like i'll be poking around in menu.css and popup.css after all.

Look for the CSS styles in DOMi, right-click on the individual file listed under the File column and View File. The hover styles should be near the "normal" styles.

Hi, for future reference, i found the styles in browser.css around toolbarbutton.bookmark-item and .menupopup-drop-indicator. I just had to update these to use the code from omni.jar.
