New Theme: NASA Night Launch

[Soul Stealer]

Fair enough.

[Lost User 73507]

I have added the specified code to userChrome.css but my about:blank is just blank and white
Here is the code:
@import url("chrome://global/skin/subskins/style-1/subskin.css");

@-moz-document url(about:blank) {
html:not([class]) {
background: url("chrome://global/skin/watermarks/about.blank.sts116-s-021.v010.jpg") no-repeat center center fixed black !important;
}
}

Fair enough.

I suspect, when we have small icons for this theme, we will see many more users come onboard. And with them, will be even more requests. This will be a very very busy place indeed. That'll be fantastic!

@anupamsr: The code for the subskin should be in userChrome.css, but the code for the blank tab should be in userContent.css, not userChrome.css.

This is confusing. Many people get this mixed up.

userChrome.css alters the UI of Firefox itself, while userContent.css alters the appearance of pages displayed by Firefox, including the blank tab.

Update 2009-May-20: The use of userContent.css to style empty tabs with NASA Night Launch is now un-recommended. There's a better way using Stylish. See this post later in this thread for full details.

Does anyone know if you take the maximum HEX value, and subtract from it the HEX value of any background color, would that effectively give the reverse color for something you want to superimpose upon it? Like an icon or text color.

What HEX value would you use to contrast the existing background? #000000 or #FFFFFF
I am guessing you can do something similar to this for RGB values as well? For instance, (255, 0, 0) has the reverse as (0, 255, 255).

Test version with small icons code. The icons themselves are not final.

If anyone has any requests for userChrome.css customizations to make it fit your particular small icon needs, let me know, and we'll see if there's something we can do.

Great job! Every release of this theme makes it better and better!

Thank you for being willing to help me out. Dark themes are kind of a fringe case so I appreciate it.

Please wait at least 12 hours for the mozdev mirrors to synchronize before downloading the Testing Version: Console² 0.3.8+ from http://console2.mozdev.org/. Thanks.

Philip,

I am anxiously awaiting the chance to test this out too. I'm just wondering if it normally takes this long for the mirrors to sync up? It's been over 24 hours and the link still shows (on hover) that it's still version 0.3.7+. Just wondering, not trying to be a nuisance.

[Philip Chee]

Oh silly me I changed the text but forgot to change the actual link! Here, the next time I make such a mistake you can use this URL to get to the actual download mirrors: http://downloads.mozdev.org/console2/. Everytime you hit this link you'll be sent to a random mirror. Here is a direct link: console2-0.3.8+.xpi. I hope I get it right this time!

Philip,
I have installed the new version in Thunderbird. It seems like the interface has changed. But even if it hasn't, I like it. Thanks to time I have spent working with Macdavis941, I think I will be more inspired to use this extension to check things I otherwise would have ignored. I will try this version now in Firefox again.

Thank you,
Shingoshi

The new version works fine. I have one request for either/both of you when the fix for the extension list appearance issue is available. Please make the enabled extensions appear in white, with the disabled extensions appear in red (light enough to easily read though).

[Old Shingoshi]

This is something you never ever want to see. Happened after installing the GlobalSpec search engine extension. Luckily, it resolved itself. I've had this nightmare before, and spent time trying to figure it out. Thankfully, this time I didn't have to.

This is the kind of interface error I used to get with every other dark theme I tried to use before this one.

Yes. Instead of the code for the NASA image in userContent.css, just put this in instead:

Code: Select all

@-moz-document url(about:blank) {
html:not([class]) {
background: none black !important;
}
}

I don't know if this is what the earlier remarks about Console2 were referring to or not. But this is what I am experiencing with the latest version of Console2.

Notice my extension list in the sidebar. The gray text is actually for my disabled extensions. The text for my enabled extensions is barely visible.

[Philip Chee]

That's possible. I'm not sure if mcdavis has released a new version of his theme that takes advantage of the attribute I added. You could disable Console2 to see if this problem goes away.
