How to make the title bar bold ?

Post by Peja Stija »

Does anyone know of a userstyle how to make the page title in the main titlebar appear bold please ? Preferably using Stylish.
I've been trying, but don't get it.

Don't think this is possible. Yet. It will also be platform-dependant. Windows has recently allowed application control over the title bar, hence the weird white colour that nobody seems to like in the latest builds. Try the builds forum since this is not mainstream yet. This thread might help, although it doesn't specifically deal with the title font:

If you really want this done you can use js-ctypes and do the platform dependent methods.

It's possible. I did this in a *THEME* 5 years ago. The trick is to hide the OS-drawn titlebar and then force the XUL-based titlebar above the menubar to be visible. You then need to insert a custom title. This can be done with XBL by observing the title property on #main-window. Then you style it how you want it. At the time that trick only worked on Windows, not sure if it will work on other platforms now.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Most Linux window managers won't let applications mess with the titlebar. Recent versions of Gnome 3 let you do strange things with the window decorations, but in the process they pretty much destroyed the title bar as you would know it. In any case there is no uniform standard for how you might do this under Linux.
