Is there alternative place to download the .xpi for 1.7.4? Thanks.

Why the 2 versions of CTR 1.7.4 at GitHub ? ? ?

CTR_v1.7.3.5.beta1_fx45-56_last.signed.version.xpi

CTR_v1.7.4.xpi --- I used this one for FF 52.7.2ESR

CTR_v1.7.4_for_updatetest_1.7.3.9.to.1.7.4.xpi

CTR_v1.7.4_fx45-56_not_signed.xpi

The default file "CTR_v1.7.4.xpi" is for Waterfox and Basilisk only, because those browsers do not require add-on signing. Futher more the internal update url points to Github now. You won't be able to install updates on Firefox 52-56 unless you use the workaround to allow unsigned add-ons being installed on Firefox 52-56.

CTR_v1.7.4_fx45-56_not_signed.xpi is what I have uploaded to AMO over a month ago, it does not change the internal update url.

CTR_v1.7.4_for_updatetest_1.7.3.9.to.1.7.4.xpi is a test version based on 1.7.4 for Waterfox/Basilisk. It allows you to test how the update using Github works (Update for Basilisk isn't working for me yet, while it works fine on Waterfox).

CTR_v1.7.3.5.beta1_fx45-56_last.signed.version.xpi is the last beta I could upload to AMO before those ass ... removed beta version from AMO. Since it was signed, Firefox 52-56 users can install it without any workaround.

All the versions are identical feature wise.

Hello, Aris.
Could you help me with a couple of CSS tweaks?
First I would like to know how to hide the menu "Close Sidebar" with its respective separator (I could not find the "ids" with the DOM Inspector).
Image
Second, I'm using the following code (link): to hide the folder icons (wasted space) from the bookmarks bar, but the icons are still visible in the double arrow menu, is there any way to hide it there too?
Image

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

/* Iconize bookmarks toolbar items that have an icon set */
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[image]:not([image=""]) .toolbarbutton-text
{
  display: none !important;
}

#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[image]:not([image=""]) .toolbarbutton-icon
{
  margin-right: 0px !important;
}

/* Display only text for bookmarks toolbar items that don't have an icon set */
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:not([image]) .toolbarbutton-icon,
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[image=""] .toolbarbutton-icon
{ display: none !important; }

/* Don't hide icon for bookmarks toolbar folders */
/* ==DISABLED== (because the dropdown arrow distinguishes them) */
/*
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:not([image])[container="true"] .toolbarbutton-icon,
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[image=""][container="true"] .toolbarbutton-icon
{ display: -moz-box !important; }
*/

/* Display dropdown icon for bookmarks toolbar folders */
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container="true"] .toolbarbutton-menu-dropmarker
{
  display: -moz-box !important;
  margin-left: 1px !important;
}

#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container="true"] .toolbarbutton-text
{
  margin-right: 2px !important;
}
/* ==NOTE TO SELF== */
/* list-style-image: url(chrome://global/skin/arrow/arrow-dn.gif) */

/* Special icon for Smart Bookmarks folder */
#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container="true"][label="Smart Bookmarks"]
{
  list-style-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/places/query.png) !important;
}

#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container="true"][label="Smart Bookmarks"] .toolbarbutton-icon
{
  display: -moz-box !important;
}

#personal-bookmarks toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[container="true"][label="Smart Bookmarks"] .toolbarbutton-text
{
  display: none !important;
}
Third, I changed the position of the search bar (CTR> Toolbas> Page 2> Findbars position) to shown on top, but I do not like that it does not have an border at the bottom. Is there any way to add it?
Image
Thanks in advance. :D

Sure.

userChrome.css right?

do you have code handy for color modifications of the tabs bg color?
- Orange for new UN-read tabs, #FF6600
- and light blue for current tab in focus... #33CCFF
- NEW-TAB mini-box/tab light purple, #CC33CC

tabs on TOP = OFF, I can't stand having tabs on top.. Mozilla is ******** these days...

Addon-Lists: show addon version info...
Addon-Lists: highlight entry on hover

anything you can do would be appreciated. :)

thx, I looked at that already...
I... uggh don't know css much so I could not do this on my own... lol.... :(

any suggestions... for assembling the script?

I already downloaded a copy of v1.8.4... aside from just dumping it into the correct folder i the profile folder...

what else can I do to get the layout and features setup exactly the way I want them to be?? :(

For tab colors look at lines 52-75 (replace the variable with a "linear-gradient(to top,#f9f9fa,#f9f9fa,#f9f9fa);" and use your color ):
https://github.com/Aris-t2/-CustomCSSfo ... bs.css#L52

Not sure what "NEW-TAB mini-box" means, but the above code also styles 'new tab' tab.

For tabs below navigation toolbar look here (the whole file is required to do this properly):
https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSfor ... oolbar.css

Add-on version css code can be found here: https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSfor ... number.css
It belongs into userContent.css, not userChrome.css.
An xml file is also required (the magic happens there): https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSfor ... ersion.xml
Make sure you add them to the correct directory and/or alter the css path to the file

An alternative appearance for add-on manager incl. add-on highlight indication on hover can be found here:
https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSfor ... arance.css


----

If you are using the complete package, extract it into your profiles chrome folder as mentioned on main Github page. To configure everything you need to edit userChrome.css and userContent.css files. It like enabling/disabling settings in CTR, but with editing the corresponding line. Every "option" has a proper name or an additional description. I know it takes time to setup everything, but once you are done the result will be close to what CTR offered in the past.

To tweak some ui parts even more edit config/general_variables.css and config/color_variables.css files. Variables are used across all files making modifying them easier that way. Not only colors but also sizes and dimensions can be set through those css files.

your first link has a hyphen error..
https://github.com/Aris-t2/-CustomCSS
https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSS

anyway... the color css is a bit too much for me I don't know how to load it or get it setup correctly...
so I tried the simpler version # stuff... I could not get it to load either... in v60 beta

the Chrome directory was gone from the test profile so I copied it from my main Firefox profile folder... no good its not loading... the version numbers
