Why is the sanitize window transparent?

Post by Anonymosity »

Lately, the sanitize window when launched is completely transparent so that the only thing visible is the title bar. I am using third-party themes, but with all of them, I have this problem. Occasionally, it will be opaque, but not most of the time. Is there any setting or modification to themes that I can use to fix this?

If you mean the clear private data dialog then it has been updated in a previous release. The third party theme might need an update. Verify with the bundled modern theme. It should display the dialog ok.

Where was that dialog updated? What file? Is that somewhere in omni.ja? SeaMonkey's Modern theme has the same problem, but the default does not seem to have it. It does show transparent for maybe half a second, but then becomes opaque.

Not for me it doesn't and nor do any other themes i.e. mine or not mine themes.

Sounds like the problem is at your end, probably an extension issue.

    No problem at all.
    Either using 'builtin' themes or 'custom themes'


    Graphic example:

    You can also use in a tab:

    Code: Select all

    chrome://communicator/content/sanitizeDialog.xul

Where is the error log?
The .xul from the bookmark is always opaque, so why is the window not opaque?

Not an extension issue. The problem still happens with all the extensions disabled.

No. The windows all have sizes that I set. By patching the added themes, I have somewhat mitigated the problem. If I run the cursor over the sanitize window, it becomes opaque. I wonder why that child window is the only one that has this problem?

I found that setting a hover image for checkboxes was what makes the transparent sanitize window turn opaque when I put the cursor on it. Using a different image for a checkbox needs to change the checkbox image when it is hovered. Why would that change the appearance of a whole window?

Is that a Mac OS setting?

Can you post some screenshots?

For every theme, I set up another setting in checkbox.css to make allowance for a different checkbox image to be used if the checkbox is hovered. This is the section in that stylesheet:

Code: Select all

checkbox:hover > .checkbox-check,
checkbox:hover:active > .checkbox-check {
  list-style-image: url("chrome://global/skin/checkbox/cbox-act.gif");  
Note the first line.
I am not quite sure why changing one little image would affect the appearance of the whole window.
