[Ext] Classic Theme Restorer

[Aris]

The arrow is supposed to be further to the left, right? Not right, left, right?


Edit: Actually that was a confusing comment. If you compare where the arrow is to where it pops out on the FF button, it's slightly to the right (of the main menu area). It also pops out of the left of the window in that image.

You can modify the code and see, if either the arrow can be move further to the left or the popup to the right.

Isn't that the "superficial" thing I talked about that'll change every time you move the button though?

The issue should be gone on current CTR beta.

@hockeymikey
Please explain how "right-clicking on bookmarks button and selecting 'add bookmark here'" would be any different from current "left-clicking on bookmarks button and selecting 'bookmark this page'" (besides the obvious right/left click and the label)? I don't see any speedup or convenience improvement in that process.

Allows the user the ability to clean up the bookmark menu. Myself, for example, would like the menu to only contain bookmarks not the actions on the top. I know some people may like them on the top of the menu but I find them messy. The right click menu would give users the freedom of choice and customize further. Thank you

I see what you mean, but as you mentioned "Menu Wizard" earlier, I recommend that one to customize the "left-click" menu. You can remove everthing and just leave "bookmark this page" and bookmarks. Everything else is "removable". I might even add an option to hide everthing there besides "bookmark this page" and bookmarks.

Yeah I know, I've already done that. That's not an issue, it's without a right click menu I don't have the freedom to remove all of them without removing functionality also. Doesn't even have to be a big fancy menu, just something basic that can be altered in menu wizard to give users that extra avenue for customization if they desire.

Happy new year to all of you.

@CT71
It looks like you are having some issue I could not reproduce on my end.

- Firefox 51 beta 10 (also tested Fx 50, Fx53 nightly)
- new browser profile
- removed pocket button from toolbars
- CTR 1.6.0.1
-- General UI > page 1 > movable back-forward buttons > enabled
-- Toolbars > page 1 > Mode: Show icons and text (tested 1-4)
-- Location bar > page 1 > star button
- uBlock button on CTRs add-ons bar

--> looks like this for me: http://i.imgur.com/CwzSY1Z.jpg
--> disabling the Firefox button on titlebar looks like this for me: http://i.imgur.com/SOPXEQX.jpg

1. Home button or other buttons do not shorten text for me

2. uBlock button indeed offers text, but so do all other buttons placed on add-ons bar. That is done on purpose and there is no option in CTR to disable this. Maybe you were using custom code tweaks before to remove the text?
Add this to a Stylish style (Stylish add-on required):

Code: Select all

/*AGENT_SHEET*/
#main-window #ctraddon_addon-bar .toolbarbutton-1 .toolbarbutton-text {
  display: none !important;
}
#main-window #ctraddon_addon-bar .toolbarbutton-1 {
  min-width: unset !important;
}

3. Min/max/close buttons height on Windows 10 gets reduced to Win7s/Win8s height, if Firefox button is on titlebar. If your disable that button their intended height reappears again.

4. Bookmarks/star button:
CTR only moves the button to location bar, it does not change its functionality or how and where bookmarks are saved. Your "other" add-on probably took care of that.

First off, thanks so much for the Stylish script - worked awesome!! I'm guessing that was your own script because trying to find scripts in anything but the same old stuff like Youtube, Facebook and so on was a pretty impossible task for me. Thanks again for that. I'm just gonna take one more stab at this to see if yourself, or anyone can figure out what's going on with my setup. I've half figured it out, but also now at a 100% complete loss also. So I have my Home and Bookmarks buttons to the left of the address bar and a few more stuff to the far right of it. I decreased my font size until now Home and Bookmarks spell out whole. But on the right side, depending on what icons I put over there, almost all are cut off big time. And it seemingly has nothing to do with how long the word is because I can have a short worded icon be cut off and a long worded one spelled out in full. It's incredibly frustrating when you have OCD, lol. I Know this is a stupid question, but can it have anything to with what version of CTR I'm using? Everything was fine on my other computer with an older verion, and I pretty much have the exact same Add-ons installed.

@CT71

Any change you can send me screenshots of your screen (not just Firefox window) from both machines via PM?
Issues may relate to certain screen resolutions or HiDPI modes. Maybe in my tests I did not use same Windows settings you have set.

@Aris

Good lord.......I did it. What an exhausting experience, lol. And ironically, I think you just nailed it........the computer I had an older version of CTR was an XP machine which I ran for years, my computer that just died was running 8.1 which I hated and never took the time to go through the new look of windows functions.......my new computer now is Win 10 and the first week I got it I made sure I went and browsed through the differences between XP and 10 which led me to changing the "Customize Your Display" setting up one level from the recommended setting because it made the start menu and all the windows settings pages bigger. Even if I had remembered that I did that I wouldn't have thought it changed anything else but those settings, nothing else seemed out of whack. Thanks for the extra effort to keep trying to help me resolve this Aris, now my next project is trying to figure out how I can get all those windows settings larger again! Don't companies understand half the world wear glasses, lol.

The new "No overflow effect" works like before Mozilla developers changes, awesome!

I think this is the best solution without losing any text content even without previous "..." at the end.

Thanks for reporting. I did not notice them yet.

Previous developer edition themes got renamed internally and are now easier to access. I will add support on next update.

Note
According to Mozilla "Compact Dark/Light" themes are what "basic theming" will be after WebExtensions take over. At least we get squared tabs
I thing there will most likely be "some" ways to change "dark/light" colors and maybe icon colors too.
Additionally Mozillas "Test Pilot" add-on shows how "vertical tabs" will be made possible using WebExtensions.

I have a MacBook Pro (early 2011) with macOS Sierra. This is about the Classic Theme Restorer on Firefox v50.1.0. When I'm in the Preferences window, whenever I do a click-and-drag on that dot between the columns to adjust the size of the heading column, it doesn't move. I know this seems like a minor problem, but it's something I noticed and I thought that should be brought to your attention. Thank you for your time.

[Aris]

@EireannB.
Does it work when "preferences" are in a tab instead of a window?
Post a screenshot of that area.

Thank you for comment and new CTR beta version.

I noticed a very strange behaviour of Private Tabs and CTR when Tab Mix Plus and Private Tab addons are enabled. On a private tab when I try to visit a site or enter url, it always redirects to blank and erases all text. Also can't focus ctr window untill I close a private tab. CTR and TMP is latest beta/devel version, private tab - latest stable version.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9MKQaO-u4c

It always happens when CTR option custom private tab url is enabled, and is set to about:blank (as is on my configuration). If I set url to about:privatebrowsing, there's an infinite redirect loop, page is always blank.

Update: Private Tab is broken on new profile. no menu, etc available.
Update2: Installing older version of Private Tab than updating fix the thing.
