Change Window Titlebar Color?
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the window titlebar color in Firefox 4 that will override the OS settings?

You might be able to do it with one of the user chrome css options.

I know ... hence my specific question about how to OVERRIDE the OS specific setting.
I've read threads hinting that it is either possible, or *would* be possible with 4.x, hence my question here.

Re: Change Window Titlebar Color?
ok, so how about overriding the old OS setting with a new OS setting?

If you are using the Classic desktop rather than the XP desktop, You could do that from the Display applet. If you right-click the desktop, choose Properties, Appearance tab, Advanced button, you can then click on the title bar in the image and change the colours. If you are using the XP desktop, you need to get another XP theme to change the titlebar colour. You also have to patch the uxthemes.dll file. I found that there is a patch program available to make that easy, called UXTheme Multi-patcher.

<sigh>
I have already done that. I don't *want* to have to do that.
My question was about how to do this DIRECTLY IN FIREFOX - presumably by adding a few magic lines to userChrome.css (so it can easily be replicated to multiple computers)...

Hi,
maybe it's not exactly what you want , but it helped me, found a userChrome hack here:
viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1973567&start=30
Code: Select all
window, page, dialog, wizard, prefwindow {
background-color: -moz-Dialog !important; }
Code: Select all
#toolbar-menubar {
-moz-appearance: -moz-win-browsertabbar-toolbox !important;
}
Thanks guys. I used the above codes in my userChrome.css file and my menus are now readable again.

I know
But since you can hack the title wording, and I recently saw an extension that will put buttons and the address bar in there - I figured there might be a hack in user css that would change the colours.

Re: Change Window Titlebar Color?
How would that work, given the fact that it is the operating system that controls the colour of the title bar?

In Firefox 4.0 Firefox in Windows draws the titlebar when the menu is hidden and it CAN be modified. It won't do you much good to style the #titlbar element because it is given instructions in Firefox to use OS styling, which would have to be overridden. The most direct way is to modify the #titlebar-content element instead:
#titlebar-content { background-color: blue !important;}
You can use the following reference to find alternative colors:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/color_value
If you use the ActiveCaption color for instance, you would end up with something similar to the Windows 95 flat color titlebar.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Thank you
I didn't actually know how to do this, as you can clearly see, but I was pretty sure that there was a way to manipulate at least some of the title bar properties.
