Titlebar font

[Moonchild]

I should've added that I'm using small icons, and with regular icons it's aligned properly.

Ahh.. I'll have a look at that then. Small icon mode would possibly be the cause as it moves the urlbar up.

EDIT: nope. I thought I had already countered for that and sure, as-is, small icons is OK too:

As a workaround for your own setup, you can tweak it for your own purpose though if there's a potential issue (custom styling, add-ons, etc.).
I'd still like to know what causes it, of course, but you should have a fix with the following userChrome.css (maybe need to tweak the positions a little, +=down -=up)

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only add this if you don't have it yet */

@media all and (-moz-windows-compositor) {
  @media not all and (-moz-windows-glass) {

    #main-window::after {
      top: -15px !important;
    }

    #main-window[sizemode="maximized"]::after {
      top: -7px !important;
    }

  } 
}

That does indeed sort things out. I've had to change values a bit:

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* 

only add this if you don't have it yet */

@media all and (-moz-windows-compositor) {
  @media not all and (-moz-windows-glass) {

    #main-window::after {
      top: -15px !important;
    }

    #main-window[sizemode="maximized"]::after {
      top: -10px !important;
    }

  }
}

Still curious and I don't know why it would be different for you. I checked all different permutations and normally used operating systems when developing this feature and it all looks OK for me. Did you change any specific preferences for scaling/rendering? Are you using any UI add-ons?

[tribaljet]

The only thing that might or might not be relevant is that the Calomel addon is on the left of the address bar and it's slightly taller than the rest of the buttons. Aside from that, I'm using gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode set to 5.

Try with this combination:
small icons
no menu bar
no bookmarks toolbar

and in full screen maximized I get the same result as tribaljet.

Edit: ops, I'm also using this tool to reduce the window borders in win8, http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.96
at 4px border (default) it shows correctly.
same for you, tribaljet?

[tribaljet]

jumba, when you say full screen, you mean maximized, right? And your combination of settings is exactly what I'm using, yes.

I did change border size through registry, so it's similar to what the tool does.

I was under the impression that the border's outside was merely visual padding and not so much emcopassing the whole titlebar text area, so it might explain the issue. What if the text position is calculated from the inside rather than from the outside as default, given that's a static position?

[jumba]

Yes I meant maximized window!

If I use the tool the opposite, to increase the border size, this is what happens,

Pale Moon title bar remains with the same width but the title text moves up to the "right" position as if the title bar would be thicker,

For other windows the border shows like this:

Those unruly borders

Well, if the borders behave like that, I guess it might be tricky to have a standard userChrome.css that will work for everyone.

[Moonchild]

Unfortunately, the window metrics are calculated as an offset from the actual window edge (which is the outside edge).
If you change the default window metrics by hacking the registry, either with a tool or manually, then it will affect the placement of the title.

I'll see if it is possible to make it dependent on the inner edge but it'll need some research and trial&error.

The title is a bit of a special case since it is bound to the actual browser window (top level), other elements are relative to the UI content's bounding box so in most cases, userChrome.css will work regardless of border thickness.
