Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
Hi ShareBird, hope you had a great day
I today found that in the "new tab" of firefox, there is no facility to pin any new tiles, nor can I unpin any pinned tiles. However the Pin symbol appears below pinned tiles as usual.
So also the "Remove this site" button works as usual too. Hope I did not miss anything.

Hehe... I've found this issue three days ago.
It will be fixed in the next version.
Cheers

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
Hi, showing an update to Charamel and Silvermel in my extensions tab, but getting "There was an error downloading" when I click the "update now" button - both firefox and thunderbird. Don't know if this is strictly an AMO problem or related to how the new versions were uploaded, but thought I should mention it here.

Thank you Willard!! Indeed I've noticed this for a couple days and already asked for help here:Willard McBain wrote:Hi, showing an update to Charamel and Silvermel in my extensions tab, but getting "There was an error downloading" when I click the "update now" button - both firefox and thunderbird.

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
ugh.... wtf is mozilla doing.....
so multi-package xpi is unsupported anymore...
and charamel/silvermel are bundled like this ...
between this & the drop of support for "old extensions" which means soonish there will be no more tab groups ... (from my information, should stop working at firefox 57

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
I've moved to Pale Moon. I don't use Silvermel in Firefox, but with a few tweaks it might work in Pale Moon since it can use Firefox extensions. Looks like the most recent version that will install correctly from Mozilla's add-ons site is 1.5.7.1-signed. I tried installing silvermel_bundle_2.0.0pre_r7177 and it kind of worked, but some of the text had overlays.

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
I'm also using Pale Moon. Please do try Pale Moon - Add-ons - Theme Compatibility Provider which may fix glitches of themes. (I have only tested it with Charamel 1.5.7, though. I'm going to try it with latest builds of ShareBird)TechnoLurker wrote:Latest version on AMO says not available for Firefox 27.9. It will install if you tell it to do it anyway, but URLs are nearly unreadable with doubled text.
Also, toolbar isn't showing everything. Notice that uBlock Origin where I'm hovering is just off the right side of the screen.

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
Dear ShareBird, first of all thanks to the great work for years. Charamel is my favorite Firefox theme, especially with Personas weared on top of it.ShareBird wrote:Is the AMO version not working on Pale Moon?TechnoLurker wrote:I've moved to Pale Moon.

I have switched to Pale Moon for better performance than Firefox. And I have just tested the AMO build 2.0.1 on Pale Moon, with Pale Moon - Add-ons - Theme Compatibility Provider installed. But the result is not yet so normal:

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
I really have no idea what the future of my themes will look like... For the next version of Firefox (52.0) they will not work anymore because Firefox will not support bundles (in my case the themes are bundled with SilvermelXT, an companion extension) anymore. For Firefox 58 they will not work anyway because XUL extensions will disappear.
Well, the last five years have been extremely difficult to maintain the themes. I have sacrificed all my free time available. Making them Pale Moon compatible will require a lot of efforts, I presume.
I do not believe that the future of my themes is very promising...

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
If you base on version 1.5.7 of your themes and work in changes listed here, it shouldn't be too difficult, I'd hope. Though please feel free to poke me if you need any further help, if this is something you'd like to do.ShareBird wrote:Making them Pale Moon compatible will require a lot of efforts, I presume.

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
For me, I'm satisfied with 1.5.7 of Charamel, as long as Pale Moon does change drastically like Firefox... So I do not mean to ask support here.ShareBird wrote:I really have no idea what the future of my themes will look like...

But the end of XUL extensions is indeed a very bad news to all of us. I personally have abandoned Firefox.

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
I'm certainly sad to hear that. Charamel and Silvermel are simply beautiful themes. No others come close. One of the reasons I've switched to the Firefox ESR version is to use them as long as possible.ShareBird wrote:I do not believe that the future of my themes is very promising...

Re: Silvermel and Charamel - Themes for Firefox and Thunderb
I just upgraded to thunderbird 52, and it sez silvermel is incompatible, but it still seems to be working (although it defaults to off now whenever I start up so I have to reenable it). :/
