Are you using a Complete Theme there? Do you know how to edit userChrome.css?

In other words, how about a bit more than 'my car is bust, how to fix?'

Sorry about that Frank, I am using userChrome; this is the part that I currently have for the toolbars.

Code: Select all

#tabs-toolbar
{ background-color: black !important; 
	color:gold !important;
	font-size:14px !important;}

#mail-toolbar-menubar2:-moz-lwtheme
{  background-color: black !important;
  background-image: none !important;
}

#mail-bar3
{ background-color: black !important;}

Thanks. I can't replicate that look exactly as on Linux my tabs don't go right up at the top. Try fiddling with negative margins to pull the toolbars up. Like this -

Code: Select all

#tabs-toolbar
{ background-color: black !important;
   color:gold !important;
   font-size:14px !important;}

#mail-toolbar-menubar2:-moz-lwtheme
{  background-color: black !important;
  background-image: none !important;
}

#mail-bar3
{ background-color: black !important;
 color:gold !important;
margin-top: -3px !important;
}

I tried all the negative stuff and it just moves the buttons; I am lost on this one. I think the answer is the toolbar height has to be decreased, but I don't know how because using these elements will not do it.

I'm having to guess here, partly because the picture isn't telling me much, but mainly because I can't get my DOM Inspector on it and see what's going on there. But, essentially, that 'space' is one of 2 things - either one or more toolbar borders or that the toolbars are just not fully covering the underlying 'window' below them.

The first can be checked with -

Code: Select all

#mail-bar3  { 
      background-color: black !important;
      color:gold !important;
      border: none !important;
}
and see what happens on restart, and for the second, try -

Code: Select all

#mail-bar3 {
    background-color: black !important;
    color:gold !important;
    min-height: 40px !important;
}
..and study the result. After that, you should have an idea of what you're dealing with.

It's working now, but to be honest, I dumped TB 52 for 52.0b4 and the graphics are different. Could I have made a mistake with 52, highly possible because I worked on this all day yesterday and part of today testing everything I could find. At any rate, I am eating crow here because your first example worked; I appreciate the help.

Code: Select all

#mail-bar3  {
	background-color: black !important;
	color:gold !important;
	border: none !important;
	margin-top: -3px !important;}
