UserChrome.css - Hiding SUBmenu options

jmdemuth · Post by **jmdemuth** » January 27th, 2005, 12:29 pm

All:

I am familiar with the technique of using entries such as menu[label="file"] {display: none !important;} to hide an entire menu bar option in FireFox. But, let's say I want some of the FILE (or EDIT or VIEW, etc) menu options to be available, but not others.

Does anyone know what syntax I can use to accomplish this, or even if it's possible in userchrome.css?

Better yet, can anyone point me to a complete reference of just what I can do in userchrome.css?

Thanks in advance. BTW, this is for FF v1.0

Firefox Help - Tips & Tricks is a good place to start. Look in your userchrome.css.example for some stuff. Check out this thread. Also learn how to use Dom Inspector. You need to do a 'custom' install to add this feature. There's still more you can do than what I've posted.

...and this is what I use:

/* Browser fonts */
menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem, textbox,
toolbar, .tab-text, tree, tooltip, sidebarheader, statusbar
{ font-size: 9pt !important;
font-family: Times New Roman !important; }

/* Hide dropdown arrows in Back & Forward buttons */

Thanks much! The menuITEM thing was just what I was looking for.

Bozz? It looks like you have a set of redundant commands???

Code: Select all

/* Hide dropdown arrows in Back & Forward buttons */
#back-button .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker,
#forward-button .toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker
{ display: none !important; }

and

Code: Select all

/* Remove Back/Forward drop-down arrows */
.toolbarbutton-menubutton-dropmarker { display: none !important; }

Why would you both hide and remove the same thing?

I did borrow a few things tho

I never noticed the yellow line thing in the address bar till I saw it fixed in yours!

lol...after two years, you can get a little crossed up. Probably one of the codes worked in earlier builds and the other for later builds. Since I'm hiding both of those icons now anyway, which one would be the correct code of 1.0 to remove/hide(same thing actually) the dropdown just for reference to help with new users? This is a test for you.

Thanks for pointing this out. :wink:

bozz,

A very useful list. Thanks

menuitem[label="Read Mail (0 new)"]

I found the following works better for me because it will hide the menu item no matter how many "new" there are.

Code: Select all

menuitem[command="Browser:ReadMail"] {display: none !important}

prob the wrong place but,
how can i make the search bar be at the top instead of the bottom?

sheehan · Post by **sheehan** » January 27th, 2005, 4:21 pm

customize, then drag & drop. It is not a bar, just another element that can be moved to any of the toolbars.

Bozz?

Found how to hide ALL the Menuseparators

it was like
DUH when I found it lol

instead of this

Code: Select all

/* Hide All Separators...except View>Toolbars>Bookmarks Toolbar(unknown) */
menuitem + menuseparator { display: none; }
menu + menuseparator { display: none !important; }

change it to

Code: Select all

/* Removes majority of menu separators */
 menuseparator {
display: none;
}

lol

Has ANYONE figured out how to edit the Tabs Menu from TBE?

What they are called there?

To hide individual menus, you may wanna give a try at the <a href="http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/compactmenu">Compact Menu</a> extension. Works just as well, if not better.

Raila · Post by **Raila** » March 1st, 2005, 11:28 pm

I have been thinking about that, however, I have the menus themselves hidden that I want hidden. I only wish I could figure out how to get the Bookmark menu to act like the menu itself, and be able to be a button with a dropdown menu, and NOT the sidebar :>

What I would like to do is hide individual menu entries, not the entire menu set that I have left :>

I USE those lol

If I'm understanding what you're saying, you could try putting everything into a folder in the "Bookmarks Toolbar Folder".
