it would look nicer (in firebird at least) if you added <code>insertbefore="prefsep"</code> tto the Calendar menu item. then it would appear before the line before Options, rather than at the bottom of the menu

Thanks for the hind. Change will be there in next release. And wats the equivalent in ThunderBird. I tried both "prefsep" and "prefSep".

here's the XUL for the whole menu:

Code: Select all

      <!-- Tasks -->
      <menu id="tasksMenu" label="&tasksMenu.label;" accesskey="&tasksMenu.accesskey;">
        <menupopup id="taskPopup" onpopupshowing="document.commandDispatcher.updateCommands('create-menu-tasks')">
        <menuitem label="&searchMailCmd.label;"
                  key="key_searchMail"
                  accesskey="&searchMailCmd.accesskey;"
                  oncommand="MsgSearchMessages();"/>
        <menuitem label="&searchAddressesCmd.label;"
                  accesskey="&searchAddressesCmd.accesskey;"
                  oncommand="MsgSearchAddresses()"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="&filtersCmd.label;"
                  accesskey="&filtersCmd.accesskey;"
                  oncommand="MsgFilters(null);"/>
        <menuitem id="applyFilters"
                  label="&filtersApply.label;"
                  accesskey="&filtersApply.accesskey;"
                  observes="cmd_applyFilters"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="&junkMailCmd.label;"
                  accesskey="&junkMailCmd.accesskey;"
                  oncommand="MsgJunkMail()"/>
        <menuitem id="runJunkControls"
            label="&runJunkControls.label;"
             accesskey="&runJunkControls.accesskey;"
             observes="cmd_runJunkControls"/>
        <menuitem id="deleteJunk"
            label="&deleteJunk.label;"
             accesskey="&deleteJunk.accesskey;"
             observes="cmd_deleteJunk"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="&importCmd.label;"
                  accesskey="&importCmd.accesskey;"
                  oncommand="toImport();"/>
        <menuitem label="&javaScriptConsoleCmd.label;" accesskey="&javaScriptConsoleCmd.accesskey;" oncommand="toJavaScriptConsole();"/>
        <menuseparator/>
        <menuitem label="&accountManagerCmd.label;" accesskey="&accountManagerCmd.accesskey;" oncommand="MsgAccountManager(null);"/>
        <menuitem id="menu_preferences" oncommand="goPreferences('mailnews', 'chrome://messenger/content/pref-mailnews.xul','mailnews')"/>
       </menupopup>
      </menu>

as you can see, it's a bit sparse on ID's.

i suggest something you use something like:

Code: Select all

  <menu id="tasksMenu">
    <menuseparator insertafter="deleteJunk"/>
    <menuitem label="Calendar" .... />
  </menu>

True. but you can't install from a URL yet. (Quicktools can)

QuickTools Fixed Pane (Demo Link)
This simple extension will stop automatic resizing of folder pane (width) and message list pane (height) while resizing main window of ThunderBird. This will also work for Mozilla Mail and News client

those js redirects are annoying [ especially on dial-up ]

first you don't load the pictures completely before the redirect : | : P

second the loaded images then flash between page loads - unnecessary flicker : (

i like the extension BUT...
when i go to the calendar it displaies fine, but if i add an event the diaplay starts flashing [reloading wildly?] and i can't do anything. if i go into the calendar folder and remove the data file, everything goes back to normal. so what did i break?;-)

©dn,
can I get a better code to give the same effect.
Then I will put it.

That is a problem with Calendar Extension.
Please contact Calendar team ( http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ ) to correct it
