change Firefox 2 background!

The path is correct. I use the same image and path for my options window but in userChrome.css.

@-moz-document url("about:blank") { * {
    background: url("bg\\window.png");
    margin: 0px;
    background-position: center;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}}

bozz:
Do you have a security error in the Error Console like I have (see my post on the previous page)?
Do you see the image rule in the DOM Inspector (CSS Style Rules)?

Old Bozz · Post by **Old Bozz** » March 25th, 2007, 3:21 pm

Yes to both questions.

Hmm, I'm curious why it works for RaiseMachine if we both see the same error.

My problem is not the path: if I put the path I see in the Error Console in the url bar then the image displays fine.
It is a security (CAPS) problem as I wrote:
Security Error: Content at about:blank may not load or link to ...

Do you have a CAPS setting in user.js?

Try uploading the image to <a href="http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data">this page</a> and use the code it gives you, instead of the path to the image.

It is a background image meant for the browser window and thus can be quite large and converting it to base64 makes it even larger.
Isn't it possible to put a pref (capability.policy) in user.js to allow access to that image?

Using FF's default (ie built in) security policy.

Code: Select all

user_pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");

The reason I have my code working, without the above pref set, is that I use NoScript which has a "Allow Local Links" option. The CAPS pref above works on my Minefield build which doesn't have NoScript installed.

[edit] Check out my post below for a better set of prefs

Your first pref is allowing all sites to load local content. Your second pref isn't doing anything. The sites preference value needs URLs of the sites allowed to access local content, not the content itself. Also, default policies do not use sites preference:

The Default Security Policy

The syntax is exactly the same as if you were using one of your own named policies, except it doesn't need a "capability.policy.default.sites" preference.

you could simply download a theme that's already skinned as I have and edit the bitmaps with that. if you're really interested, look at its coding and see how it does it. i, myself, don't believe i've ever honestly coded anything, but i can edit photo's with the best of them.

you can find the Werder Bremen theme here:
http://firefoxpro.net/2006/12/21/werder ... 4x768-202/

if you open the jar with winzip, you can extract the global file and edit the background images located within as I have (but you probably already knew that...)

here's a screenie of my skin i made doing just that:

good luck!

^Not what the OP is asking for. This relates to changing the background for blank (about:blank) pages.

Done a bit more testing. You're right in that you just need the first pref. I have edited my previous post accordingly.

Although you can specify actual content if you use your own policies. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_loca ... ath_Syntax

Code: Select all

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "file:///C:/Images/SomeImage.png");

These prefs above are what I suggest people use.

Thanks RaiseMachine, that works.

You people better check whether you still have this pref in prefs.js/user.js:

Code: Select all

user_pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");

If you do, it needs to be removed and the last code tested again.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » March 26th, 2007, 2:31 pm

Code: Select all

// Disable checkloadURI by default
user_pref("capability.policy.default.checkloaduri.enabled", "noAccess");

//Allow individual sites access to local files
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "about:blank");

You could try this in userChrome.css:

Code: Select all

browser {
  background: transparent url("file:///path/to/image.png") center no-repeat !important;
}
