The width of the input field in the find bar

Unread post by Konrad » 2018-12-10, 13:35

Hello there!

Is it possible to change/increase the width of the input field at the bottom left of the window?

[Pale Moon v28.2.2 x64 / Windows 8.1 x64]

Why do you need to do that? You can type more into there than you can see.

This seems to work ( adjust the dimension/number of pixels to your liking).

Code: Select all

/*Lengthen findbar input box*/

.findbar-textbox {min-width: 250px !important;}

Dear coffeebreak, zillion thanks!

Your code is a real incantation!

This is the very first time I make use of userChrome.css.
I started the file with
/* set default namespace to XUL */
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gateke ... s.only.xul");

But I don’t see it. Was I right?

Should there be an interval between lines?
/*Lengthen findbar input box*/

.findbar-textbox {min-width: 250px !important;}


I printed it in two lines (not three):
/*Lengthen findbar input box*/
.findbar-textbox {min-width: 310px !important;}


The input field looks now as I like it.
May the Lord bless you and protect you!

Glad it worked.

The namespace is needed; the interval between lines was not (was just for readability).

I forgot to link this article btw, here it is: userChrome.css)

Thank you very much, coffeebreak!

I’d prefer to see completely what is typed because typos occur sometimes, which affects the search.
