Bold Text for Bookmarks

Unread post by steelcaress » 2017-07-20, 08:00

I've searched the forum, found a post on this already, and am having problems because the fix doesn't seem to work.

Operating system: Windows Vista
Browser version: Palemoon 27.4.0
32-bit or 64-bit?: 32-bit
Theme: Morrowind House Hlaalu theme

Installed extensions:
BypassAdfly
ChromeEdit Plus (not working)
FlashGot
JS Switch
NoScript
Stylish
Stylish Editor Modified

Installed plugins: (about:plugins)
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Flash
Google Update
Java Platform SE8
Silverlight Plug-in
VLC Web Plugin
Windows Presentation Foundation
Java Deployment Toolkit

I created a Chrome folder, created a UserChrome.css in it. And copied this code into it:

Code: Select all

  #PersonalToolbar {
      font-weight:bold !important;
    }
I must be missing something, since it's not displaying the way it's supposed to (as in: no change). Any help you could render would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!

It worked for me just now. Did you restart? (It's needed.)

Also, if you did restart and still doesn't work, try turning off your theme (and userstyles if any) to see if they conflict.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Yeah, I've restarted several times. And I've disabled themes (am using default now) and certain extensions like Stylish and ChromEdit just in case. No dice. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that code is for the bookmarks toolbar? Or am I off-base? Because that's what I'm trying to boldface -- the bookmarks in the toolbar.

You use Stylish already... Try this, create a new style, named it how you like and type:

Code: Select all

.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-text {
  font-weight: Bold !important;
}
Save and see the result! :)

Yes, it's for bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar.

BTW, @spacy01's css works fine for me too - in userChrome.css (I don't use Stylish.) Both snippets produce the same result on my setup.

One more thought.
Check your capitalization. It matters.

Try making the chrome folder lower case. And userChrome.css should be exactly as you see it here.

Also, be sure that your userChrome.css starts with this:

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
And you might check out this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
and this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome-example.css

I tried all the other options, no dice. Not sure what's going on there, but someone who knows far more about CSS than me would probably be able to suss it out. That's about where my HTML coding training stopped short of.

But the good news is that Stylish, which I've never been able to get to work on Firefox, worked. So now I have a lovely bookmarks bar. Thank you!

I really want to thank you for all your replies, and help, and links. Filling in the holes in my knowledge is a good thing. This community is awesome, and I hope I can help someone else out in the future.

Cheers!
