well, what else would you put if you don't use fullscreen, and have a clipboard (klipper) under KDE3 which copies when you select

I'm not disagreeing, I was just noting. If you install the extension, though, it's probably cause you do want them. Personally, I think they should be in the core, just to make transitioning a bit easier from IE.

Errrr, isn't that the default Unix behaviour? I copy right when I select stuff with Gnome, just fine. ;)

Can anyone tell me how to ID the cut / copy / paste images? I would like to make the icons the same size as the others on the toolbar.

Opening trvial.jar and looking at trivial.css

#trivial-copy-button
#trivial-cut-button
#trivial-fs-button
#trivial-paste-button

The following appears for each button

Code: Select all

#trivial-paste-button {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://trivial/skin/editpaste.png");
}
#trivial-paste-button:hover {
}
#trivial-paste-button[disabled="true"] {
}
#trivial-paste-button:hover:active,
#trivial-paste-button[checked="true"] {
}

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #trivial-paste-button {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://trivial/skin/small/editpaste.png");
}
toolbar[iconsize="small"] #trivial-paste-button:hover {
}
toolbar[iconsize="small"] #trivial-paste-button[disabled="true"] {
}
toolbar[iconsize="small"] #trivial-paste-button:hover:active,
toolbar[iconsize="small"] #trivial-paste-button[checked="true"] {
}

As opposed to the regular tab close button? Also, clicking it when there is only one tab left closes the whole program (guess that's the Window part). That can lead to mistakes when clearing out some tabs. But to each his (or her) own.

See my prev message. He posted that on another board cause someone was whining for it. I don't think it was worth it.

it was easier to add than a search button : )

plus turned out to be a good idea, no more 'attempting to select the last tab, only to close the current one' problems

cdn what about a SEARCH button that uses the default searchmechanism selected?

That would alow you to shrink the search engine dropdown to only as wide as the icons (about 20px) and use the URL bar to enter the searchterms.

(yes I'm aware you can eg prefix with google to search google, but the dropdown interface IMO is a more intuitive)
