yeah patrick i've been diving through the tangled mess that is firefox skinning.. tbh its quite the bloody mission compared to m2 skinning(which well is lot more straight forward though not nearly as opened up). I guess I'm just torn in having dislikes about a lot of the ff skinning process, and liking a lot of the control over everything.
"Using DOM Inspector can help you find some of this stuff, but it's really not as cut and dry as it SHOULD be."
I totally agree
And I have to say the Stylish addon sure does make skinning firefox's UI a hell of it lot easier and kinda fun, just the realtime updating of most changes without the entire stupid browser restarts a huge time saver... I don't think I'd have bothered without it, the problem now is that the majority of my actual skin themes css now resides in multiple stylish files, whcih is kinda nice on the one hand becaue I can toggle things on or off and just tweak things constantly... but I dunno if I'll ever get around to putting those css settings back into the original skin files location.
and as you've said with the tabs I'm beginning to think that I probably won't ever publish this skin because and fair number of visual tweaks have been set in other addons like tabmix which I had used to setup the tab min/max width etc and ofc stylish..
+seriously disappointed by the lack of this m2 skinning feaure:
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1188325 I just don't see why that isn't in the css spec seeing as its pretty danm useful for buttons like tabs graphics etc without needing to set an actual border width
