MaSx Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Could somebody please help me with a stylish script? It makes the statusbar transparent, but sometimes it doesn't extend to the findbar. #browser-bottombox, statusbarpanel, #status-bar, #downbarHolder, .findbar-container { -moz-appearance: none !important; border: transparent !important; border-bottom: 0px !important; background: transparent !important; text-shadow: 0 0 1em white, 0 0 1ex white; } .findbar-textbox.findbar-find-fast:not(:hover) { opacity:0.7!important; }[attachment=272404:Untitled-2.png] I'd like to have it like in the upper picture all time :) Same here but failed to do so. It would not work. I'm not good at css at all but this is the closet I got..myself. /* Change the find bar color (100% transparent does not work) */ findbar { background-color: rgba(223,233,245,.99) !important; border-top: 1px solid #686868; border-bottom: none; min-width: 1px; } Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/70/#findComment-593066920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buio Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yess!! So now not I'm the only one who dislikes the quality of directrite :p I made a new pic which is even more noticable. (GDI is the non directwrite rendering) It's known to have bugs like that. So don't go all overboard until it is done. The feature isn't even enabled per default in the upcoming official beta. Known Issues:- Some fonts do not render properly depending on a number of factors including Video Card and drivers.

Malisk Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Any idea when FF4 Beta 4 will be released? It was supposed to be out yesterday, but they seem to be having some issues with the Beta 4 candidate builds. Firefox 4 Beta 4 blockers *shrug* My guess would be late this week, or early next week. Edit: LOL, just within 5 minutes, one of those bugs there were resolved as fixed. :D (only 2 listed bugs right now) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/70/#findComment-593067728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 24, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yess!! So now not I'm the only one who dislikes the quality of directrite :p I made a new pic which is even more noticable. (GDI is the non directwrite rendering) The difference in that picture is due to the fact that the DirectWrite rendering is using grey scale anti-aliasing, due to a D2D issue/bug, GDI doesn't have the issue since it's pretty "dumb". When DirectWrite is told to draw sub-pixel AA text on a transparent surface, it actually makes a copy of the surface (the sub-pixel component colours depend on what's behind them), draws the text over it, then copies it back over only where the pixels were touched. Which leads to a small problem in that the background contents are actually drawn twice (so they're coloured differently). There are ways to avoid it, but they're slower (and would need to be implemented by MS) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/70/#findComment-593068170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
