What's changed between this version and .9.9.9.5? I can't see anything has changed (at least, so far.)

Edit, errr...ignore this, I'm a tool. There's graphite versions now, awesome!


- one bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434240 was fixed
- the RSS, Star and Autocomplete-History-Dropmarker buttons have now a different kind of blue

and the graphite versions have changes:
- in the "AwesomeBar" bar focus state
- every rounded search field focus state
- the select state in the Bookmarks-, History Sidebar and the Library
- the "tree" background in the Library is grey instead of blue

and they have a different image for the progress indicator for the Fission extension

Thats`s all ;-)

See thats what I like about you Aronnax, a lot of time theme authors just make a theme and publish it, and never worry about it again. You're always keeping it up to date and tweaking it and keeping it working right. I appreciate that a lot!

Awesome theme! I've got one question though. I don't know if it's been brought up already, but I'm getting a weird background, behind some favicons, in the address bar. Safari does not seem to exhibit this problem. See screenshot.

I see, thank you!

Do you intend to make any changes to your theme to make this look a bit nicer, like in the default theme? Not that it bothers me that much. I guess I'm just being nit-picky. :P

I see a little problem with GrApple and nightly trunk builds (Gecko1.9.1a1pre/Fx3.1a1pre): the left cap of any 'button' with rounded corners is placed one 1px higher than it should:

Image and Image
(first one is the 'allow auto-refresh' button, second one is the hover on the BM bar - changed the background-colour a little) - but all similar buttons are affected.
This doesn't happen with the default theme.

BTW - some of those rounded buttons (e.g. the one on the bm bar) could easily be done using -moz-border-radius and just one image. Or are there still some issues with that in XUL ?

@phiw13
Hi, i see the same bug on the "Allow" button but not on the other
and to be true: i do not pay attention to nightly trunk builds bugs currently

But in some weeks again and by the way,
they will use then a lot of the new https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10713 possibilities
and will be therefore Fx 3.1 only

and some buttons in my themes use already -moz-border-radius stuff but not these - these buttons are not really possible with -moz-border-radius stuff

Cheers

I see it on the bookmark bar (where it is annoying, the only place where I see it all the time); I don't think my little font-size hack affects this. I'll investigate further.

Yeah, waiting for bug 438517 there, right ? :-) (that may improve UI performance, I think; and simplify the stylesheets a bit).

Hmm, on the bookmark bar, it should be possible, I think. I'll play with it and let you now.

Anyway, don't worry too much about it – and I understand you don't want to pay too much attention to the latest nightlies, right now. I'll find a way around those small issues.

not only a bit ;-) the code for the bookmark bar and tab shadow effects is currently terrible complicated
a real text-shadow feature would make it much, much easier and could be used then for many other GUI parts
---
"bookmark bar, it should be possible, I think."
naturally, search in the Bookmarks Library and you can will find already the same stuff and there build with -moz-border-radius, but the -moz-border-radius has some limitations ... with some images is much more possible

" I'll find a way around those small issues."
why? who knows, if the builds a week later have still the same bugs ;-)

Lol. My comment was the-understatement-of-the-day kinda thing. Your 'terrible complicated' is also an understatement :-).
That whole fake text-shadow currently in use is just plain terrible.

Not to be nit picky, but I noticed a couple minor bugs with the location bar.

For secure sites with location information (like PayPal) it appears the green background extends one pixel below the location bar: http://homepage.mac.com/ronald.heft/.Pu ... secure.png

For websites that are trusted, there are a couple of bugs. The blue background appears to be a pixel over on both the bottom and left. Also, when using Fission, the loading bar breaks into the middle of the blue background causing a weird display: http://homepage.mac.com/ronald.heft/.Pu ... rusted.png

Thanks in advance for looking into these bugs.

Great theme. Despite the fact that it is not intended for the system, it works well on Windows. If possible, I'd like to ask how I might fix the popup menu (right click/file,edit,etc menu's/bookmark folders on Toobar). The problem: its see through (100%) and extremely large (including the text) relative to everything else. Thanks in advance if you are able to help, though I understand if you do not.
