Styles
This style provides the ability to show the Tabs Bar in Full Screen mode. One of my favorite extensions is "Auto Hide" which allows one a choice of hiding or displaying individual toolbars and status bar when in Full Screen Mode (F11), or showing a Firefox window without toolbars (Shift+F11). Firefox itself provides Full Screen mode (F11) and in Firefox 3.6 also Firefox Window without toolbars (Shift+F11) As it turns out the only toolbar I have to see when in full screen mode is the Tabs Bar. I can use Ctrl+L to enter a url and I can use Ctrl+K to enter a search, or move the cursor through the top when in Full Screen mode to see all my visible toolbars with or without the "Auto Hide" extension. This style was actually created to provide additional information for a MozillaZine page on Netbooks -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Netbooks This style will not conflict with styling changes made to toolbars by my other styles, many of which reduce the height of toolbars to sh
Bookmark folders shown without icons in BLUE, and any bookmark not in a folder would be considered special and would be shown without icons in RED. The idea here is to use minimum real estate for Bookmarks Toolbar, so folders are used almost exclusively, and try to keep the folder names to 1-4 characters. I know what my folders are so they don't need long names. The Firefox 4.0 and up version can be found at Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks (46947)
Bookmark folders shown without icons in BLUE, and any bookmark not in a folder would be considered special and would be shown without icons in RED. The idea here is to use minimum real estate for Bookmarks Toolbar, so folders are used almost exclusively, and try to keep the folder names to 1-4 characters. I know what my folders are so they don't need long names. This is the Firefox 4 version, good for Fx4 (and through Fx6 Nightlies so far). The Firefox 3.6 version can be found in Bookmarks Toolbar Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks (9091)
Use "Color Toolbar(s)" to help identify an additional profile such as might be used with a TEST profile, or to distinguish a different user, or version of Firefox with a unique color choice per profile. Choose a color which will be used in your profile on the Firefox Window, on Customize Toolbars, the Dom Inspector, Organize Bookmarks (Library), Stylish Manage & Edit, and several other dialogs choosing a different color for each profile, some suggestions for light pastel colors are within the code.
Adds reddish highlighting for Google search results with "This site may harm your computer.". Firefox itself should prevent you from accessing such sites identified by stopbadware.org as both Mozilla, Google, and several others are partners. The highlighting will help you avoid clicking on the site. Even though Firefox uses the same data, there will be timing differences between what is available from Google servers and what Mozilla has downloaded to you for your protection.
Include Keyword, Location URL, and Description when adding (Ctrl+D), or modifying a bookmark with the Firefox 3 Star. The description will fill in automatically from webpages that include the description META tag, and you can change it to what you want. By including the keyword in your bookmark Name it will show up in a location bar autocomplete search (AwesomeBar) and a bookmark search. I place the keyword at the beginning of most of my Name/Title line and most of my public keyworded bookmarks are in the "K" folder of my Bookmarks Toolbar to help me remember the keyword assigned. Keyword in Not included in and by itself in a Location Bar autocomplete search and History and Bookmark searches so you should include your keyword at least somewhere in the Name(/Title). There are some codes that will help with such searches. * Bookmarks, ^ History, + Tags, # Title, @ URL, ~ Typed, % Tabs (future 3.7). I think this is a substitute for the "OpenBook" extension that Fire
The idea behind many of my styles is to use minimum real estate for toolbars. ============================================================================ STYLE NO LONGER NEEDED ONCE YOU UPDATE LAUNCHY Launchy 4.3.0 finally changed icon, this style was created 2008-12-17 and is no longer needed as of 2010-01-27 will have to make some changes in my Navigation styles as well -- Navigation/Location Bar Presentation Height (DM*) (10881) -- Navigation/Location Bar BIG Presentation Height (18864) -- Navigation/Location Bar Minimal Height (9349) There are some tweaks to Dom Inspector here as well, will check on them later ============================================================================== One of my favorite extensions is the "Launchy" extension, but in Fx3 the drop-down menu was taking up 3X the space of a normal button. This style removes the unnecessary drop-down, simply left-click on the icon to see the drop-down list. Without the style had to insert spaces into toolbar to left and above the icon. The Launchy extension can be installed from http
The idea here is to use minimum real estate used for the Menu Toolbar, and other toolbars, so that you have more screen space to use your browser for it's intended purpose of looking at web pages not space hogging graphics. This is one of several styles to minimize size of toolbars, look for other styles under my name, David McRitchie, that include "Minimal" in their style names. Currently there is some overlap in toolbars, since I've not learned how to reduce the size of the selection bubbles to be within the toolbars height, but it is quite usable. I include the search bar to the right of the menu bar, so that both the location bar and the search bar have more working space. Use customize to move search box up to menu bar. This style only affects the menu bar see other styles for the other toolbars. Right click on a picture, then view image to see it as a full size image. The biggest chuck of wasted space is recovered from the Navigation/Location bar using eithe
This style has a much larger font on the the Navigation Bar than was used in Navigation/Location Bar Presentation Height (DM*) (10881) which had a font-size 110% of original font. The location bar font-size is 140% of original size and would only be used at or close to a full width window (1024 x 768) strictly for use in presentations so viewers of projected image can see the url easily. Use right-click on Back/Forward button to see drop-down. To properly view the screenshots either right-click on an image then use "View Image" or install userstyles.org -downsize screenshots to fit window (12373) so that you can see images within userstyles.org properly relative to each other. Notice that the personal toolbar is almost entirely folders and removal of the folder icons with Bookmarks Toolbar Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks (9091) provides about twice the space for folders. Note the the titlebars which I have no control over size are the same size so the pictures truly represent before and after effects. (The after picture was not active so the title bar is slightly grayed as well as
The idea here is to use minimum real estate used for the Navigation Toolbar, and other toolbars, so that you have more screen space to use your browser for it's intended purpose of looking at web pages not space hogging graphics. This style uses roughly about 1/3 of the height of the original toolbar. The red outline is the Navigation Toolbar itself and is the most wasteful of the toolbars. This is one of several styles to minimize size of toolbars, look for other styles under my name, David McRitchie, that include "Minimal" in their style names. Currently there is some overlap in toolbars, since I've not learned how to reduce the size of the selection bubbles to be within the toolbars height, but it is quite usable. I removed the search bar from the navigation bar to place it to the right of the menu bar, so that both the location bar and the search bar have more working space. The search bar css code is commented out in this style, and is included with my Menu and
