Alright folks, just released a new version (1.1.0) for Firefox 3.1 Beta. It includes the following:

NEW: Glasser 1.1 for Firefox 3.1

NEW: Added shadows behind toolbar buttons

NEW: Added shadows behind menu text

FIXED: Weird bug in Firefox makes URL and search box look odd.

* Removed margin on identity box, it seems that it is no longer needed.

If you folks, don't like the shadows I've added to the toolbar buttons and menus, I'll ask anyone who has added the same effect for their version. Because of a change in the -moz-background-clip with -moz-border-radius properties... making the borders rounded did something weird to the background so I removed the rounding. If anyone knows a fix so I can bring that back, please do tell.

Please note that the screenshot is from many modification I've made to the tabs and personal bar that isn't included in the theme. I've attached the CSS files needed to reproduce it in this post.

the code for the bookmark bar is in the styles.zip here primexx

hey thanks!

so i tried it and it didn't look the way I wanted, so I ended up encoding my own graphic for the bookmark bar and borrowing code from the glasser extras and styles zips.

Firstly you need "stylish" add on...

And the code you need is right there

Been trying to recompile the x64 version with some changes to get it working with the latest nightlies. Building keeps spitting out an error about not being able to find .\x64\Debug\CDwmCalls.obj. :/

Version 1.1.1 is now out and it's fixed up for Firefox 3.1b3. It also fixes the identity box margin problem as well.

Also please note that I've also create a support forum on Sleeping Cats for Glasser which will be the place I check first for support issues.

Thank you for continuing to develop this extension, update it and provide support to our community, 6XGate! :)

It really is a big help and, to be honest, I don't think I would be able to bring myself to use Firefox without Glasser.

my bad I posted the wrong style, I just accidentally copied the wrong one.

this will fix it:

#identity-box
{
margin-left: -0px !important;
}

#identity-box > hbox
{
border-left-width: 0 !important;
}

How do you get Back/Forward buttons to align properly? I have tried many different things, but they are always slightly unaligned.

awesome, this has prompted me to check whether my other extensions are compatible with 3.1b3, and they all either support it already, or have beta builds that support it, or work fine after version override. so now i'm on 3.1b3 full time :D

Glasser works fine with all builds of fx upto 3.6a1pre. You just have to edit the install.rdf file in the xpi file and change the <em:maxVersion>(I have put 3.6 here)3.6a1pre</em:maxVersion>.

The rounded corners on the identity box can be overcome by adding:

#identity-box{
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0px !important;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 0px !important;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0px !important;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0px !important;
}

to your userchrome.css

Strictly speaking you probably will only need top and bottom left.

If you want to get some further transparency in the frame and borders do this:

Open Regedit and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

Create a new DWORD Value registry value, and named it as HideBlur. Set the value data of ?HideBlur? to 1.

Restart and you should be able to see through the frames and borders of open windows.

The favicon in the address bar is messed up in the new firefox 3.5 preview, anyone with stylish skills wanna fix it? The fix above doesn't work, it removes the round part but it looks all messed up still.

Address bar bug:

Never mind fixed it mostly except the right side with pure guest work adding on to primexxes code:

EDIT: it did break my reload button though...

#identity-box {
-moz-border-radius:0 !important;
margin-left:-2px !important;
margin-top:-2px !important;
margin-bottom:-2px !important;
}

hmm after copying my profile to win7 i noticed the border standing out...try this:

#identity-box {
 border:0 !important;
 -moz-border-radius:0 !important;
 margin-left:-1px !important;
}

it looks fine now on both vista and win7 for me.
