The way it would be implemented with this code, it interferes somehow with Movable Firefox Button, making the appMenu button unnecessarily large and somehow ugly
instead of slim and unobtrusive

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
I don't understand: if you use Movable Firefox Button, why would you want to install Blue Moon Linux as well? My suggestion would be to simply uninstall it..
Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
But if it would be integrated into the core (see the post before mine by the master himself) I can't uninstall it. Nothing against your addon, it's fine for those who like it, but as a core feature it would cause problems for others (at least with the current code).

I guess it's too difficult of a concept for people to understand...
But, since people are panicking, just keep it an extension then, Antonius. Saves me work, and if it works this way, then that's fine.

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
I am not panicking. I just said that the way it is implemented in the extension it would break things with other extensions, if it is possible to work around that, I wouldn't mind at all about the feature....

Well at the very least giving a lot of resistance "but then I can't uninstall it" and "it will cause problems". I also did say "people", not you in particular.
The way a core feature works is very straightforward:
The way a core feature works is very straightforward:
- If it is optional (behind a pref or menu choice), you don't have to use it.
- If it's not used, it will not interfere with extensions.
- If it's CSS styling related, extensions will override core rules.

Moonchild, sometimes you think too much as a developer. If you can (and, yes, I am aware that it can be done) and would (and the letter is something only you can know) implement it in a way, that it wont interfere in any way with my current setup, I wouldn't care at all about this feature.
Apologies, for giving my uneducated opinion, I promise to never do it again.

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
Jeez.
Sorry for stepping on your toes by trying to explain. I guess I'll just stay in my "developer clique" from now on and don't say anything in public. How's that? Would that satisfy your need for "non-dev" communication?

Then why make a fuzz about it? Did you actually think a new feature would be added to the browser core overnight?SvenG wrote: If you can (and, yes, I am aware that it can be done) and would (and the letter is something only you can know) implement it in a way, that it wont interfere in any way with my current setup, I wouldn't care at all about this feature.

@Tobin: I would like to know how I would go about submitting my extension, Blue Moon Linux, to the Pale Moon add-ons site. If, for some reason, you don't want to help me with that, please just let me know, so I can look at alternative ways to share it.

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
Is this what your deleted PMs were about? It doesn't help that I had no idea what they were about. Also it is lucky I tend to glance at every last post on the forum. This could have been easily missed. Get at me in PM about it.Antonius32 wrote:@Tobin: I would like to know how I would go about submitting my extension, Blue Moon Linux, to the Pale Moon add-ons site.

One suggestion is to make sure this can ONLY be installed on a linux ABI because of course it MAY conflict with Windows versions.

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
Don't worry, it can only be installed on Linux.
About the pm's: I deleted them, because not too long ago, you specifically mentioned to me that you preferred not to be contacted by pm. That's why I'm asking here, on the forum.

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
I believe what I said was not using Private Messages as a back and forth Instant Messaging manor. Obviously for official things it can be used. Though as I said at the time for extended conversations I prefer traditional IM or the little known IRC channel on MozNet.Antonius32 wrote:Don't worry, it can only be installed on Linux.

Re: PM4Linux - Windows-style app menu button (screenshots)
@Tobin: I have one more question, with regard to the add-on description: could you please change the description on the add-ons site,
from:
from:
to:Adds Windows style AppMenu on Linux
so it matches the description in the Add-ons Manager?Themes the Pale Moon button on Linux, to match the look on Windows
