[Ext] CustomizeMyBird

[Aris]

I hope most bugs and major issues are gone now and the add-on stays usable for a while.

Hello, the addon works fine, but there's one bug with quick filter bar. There's a bar or separator below it when I hover it I can move it up revealing a mail content. The thing is the quick filter bar doesn't move down when I move the separator below it down, using up all available screen space.

The video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oNv7gz32DI

The settings I use are shown on second part of the same video.

Thanks for reporting.

The only way to fix this glitch in "default/classic" window layout is moving quick filter bar to the bottom below the message.
I will add the code on next update.

Possible bug report. The edges of tabs don't seem to activate properly (TB45, Win7). I also tested using a clean install of Thunderbird Portable and the result was the same.

Changing two values in main_ui.css appears to fix it, but I don't know if it's the correct solution.

Changed from this:

Code: Select all

/* remove tab background margin */
.tab-background {
  margin-inline-end: 0px !important;
  margin-inline-start: 0px !important;
}

to this:

Code: Select all

/* remove tab background margin */
.tab-background {
  margin-inline-end: -16px !important;
  margin-inline-start: -16px !important;
}

Thank you for all of the work you do on these add-ons.

Thanks for reporting. I did not notice this glitch before.

if I open enough tabs to make the scroll arrows and dropdown marker appear, then I have to close an "extra" tab to make them go away. For instance, on this machine, I can open 4 tabs with no arrows; a fifth tab causes the arrows to appear. Closing one tab doesn't make them go away, but closing two tabs does.

CMB 1.0.4, TB 45.4.0, Windows 7 SP1.

It looks like this problem has returned. CMB 1.0.8, TB 45.7.1, Windows 7 SP 1. Could you take a look?

[Aris]

Looks like fixing one glitch causes another.

Try this build:

Hm, for some reason, the file won't download for me. Do I have to be signed in for it to work?

Edit: Couldn't convince FF to download it, but I got it with IE. Problem is fixed, thanks!

[Aris]

No, only Firefox add-ons have to be signed. Try the zipped file:

Code: Select all

Or from another hoster:

Problem is fixed. Thank-you!

Hello Aris.
Hope your day is going great.
I have a few minor problems with my CSS code (using the userChrome.css file), hope you can help me.

As in Thunderbird the "hamburger" menu button is not as useful as in Firefox for my touch screen laptop I decided to use the menu bar instead, however the default size of the menu items is too small and therefore uncomfortable to use the fingers; that's why I'm trying to use CSS code to make it more comfortable.

I didn't touch too much the CustomizeMyBird settings, just a few:

Code: Select all

user_pref("extensions.customizemybirdextension.addonsmanager_compact", true);
user_pref("extensions.customizemybirdextension.altaddonsmanager", false);
user_pref("extensions.customizemybirdextension.attachmentbox_hp", true);
user_pref("extensions.customizemybirdextension.menubarontop", true);
user_pref("extensions.customizemybirdextension.tabheight", 28);


Right now, my code looks like this: (I'm sorry if it looks ugly, I'm not a web programmer! )

Code: Select all

#menubar-items { padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px !important; margin-bottom: 3px !important; }

#mail-toolbox { margin-bottom: -8px }
#mail-toolbar-menubar2 { margin-bottom: -13px }
#mail-bar3 { height: 34px }
#searchInput { height: 24px }

#menu_inspector,
.gloda-search-icon,
.searchbutton-icon { display:none }


This makes Thunderbird look like this:


And this is its default interface: (without CSS code, but the menus are not well distributed in all that big blank space)


I thought that I had achieved this, I liked it as it was; but the problem is when the window is maximized. It look like this:


Without my code, it looks OK: (when the window is maximized)

Is there any way to fix this? Let's say that the code would only apply when the window is not maximized.
I like to suggest that there would be a template that had the buttons and the menus bigger and more separated; for use on touch screens.
Thanks in advance.

Windows 8.1 64-bit
Thunderbird 52.3.0
CustomizeMyBird 1.0.8


P.S. Sorry about my english

[Aris]

You can exclude your code from maximized mode by adding #messengerWindow:not([sizemode="maximized"]) to your rules.
e.g. #messengerWindow:not([sizemode="maximized"]) #mail-toolbox { margin-bottom: -8px }

[rocco.xyz]

it was the other line we were looking for.

Code: Select all

#messengerWindow: not ([sizemode = "maximized"]) # mail-toolbar-menubar2 {margin-bottom: -13px}

Worked, thank you!

Hello

I am a long time Eudora user who cannot get used to manage tabs on top

Does anyone know how could I move the tab toolbar above the status bar (below the message pane)?

I also have a suggestion for CustomizeMyBird: remove the Go menu

menu[label="Go"] {display:none!important;}


Many thanks in advance

[Aris]

You can not move only tabs toolbar to windows bottom in Thunderbird.

It is only possible to move the whole top bock to the bottom.

Code: Select all

/*AGENT_SHEET*/
#navigation-toolbox {
  -moz-box-ordinal-group: 100 !important;
}
