Re: notes on testing themes
Web Notifications.... is that like "legalized" popups?? Because that's not going to be immediately abused.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Haha yeah, I'm sure spammers are drooling at the prospect.
At least you do get a chance to tell the site and its notifications to buzz off, permanently ("Always Block").

Re: notes on testing themes
Hopefully, there will be a switch to Always ALWAYS Block so we won't have to even be bothered with the option.

Nice!
(That file didn't used to word-wrap in the browser, back when I posted it ...)

Re: notes on testing themes
Yeah I noticed that.... I had to make it very very tiny to see the "chart" layout.

OK, so I had to look it up.
Bug 253564 - Plain text (text/plain, text/javascript, text/css, etc) documents should word-wrap
Menubar > View > Page Style > Basic Page Style

The menu apparently toggles: plain_text.wrap_long_lines

Re: notes on testing themes
New subject: anyone know how you test the devtools manifest editor in the app manager for Fx27? I have some installed apps but it doesn't seem to want that. Is there some test app I can download (which I'm guessing needs to be in some not-yet-packaged source form)?

Re: notes on testing themes
I'm not even sure I really get what all this "web app" business is about. It's never really made any sense to me.

Hmm. I thought you couldn't nest @media rules? [google google google]
Ah CSS3 relaxes the restrictions in CSS2.1. This should come in useful!

Re: notes on testing themes
Yes, not sure when this change happened but we discussed nesting not working in this thread a few years back. The ability to have 'all' and 'not all' nested together makes for interesting logic and opens up some possibilities that the architects probably didn't intend.

Re: notes on testing themes
Here's a nested media query that allows you to detect non-Windows:
Code: Select all
@media not all and (-moz-windows-theme: zune) {
@media not all and (-moz-windows-theme: royale) {
@media not all and (-moz-windows-theme: generic) {
@media not all and (-moz-windows-default-theme) {
@media not all and (-moz-windows-classic) {
#selector {dostuff: here;}
}}}}}
