Customize menu items

Unread post by mike18xx » 2017-12-15, 13:40

First things first: Thanks for 27.6.2; it's much more stable than 27.6.1 (which crashed constantly).

______
Customize:

...I am running Tab Mix Plus with multi-row tabs, and a theme called Tango-Chocolate that is frankly the only decent one out there for this sort of thing, One nifty feature of Tango-Chocolate is that it eliminates the bar containing the minimize, maximize, and window close buttons (and nothing else, meaning it's a complete waste of vertical space and therefore good-riddance). Annoyance: I frequently need to minimize, and would like a means of doing so that doesn't involve using Command-M from the keyboard. Maximize is completely unavailable.

So: Is there a way for get the Minimize and Maximize commands as icons available in the Customize list? (Regrettably, the really cool Tab Menu Buttons add-on doesn't work with the latest Pale Moons.) Also, a "100%" button for default page view size would be handy (Palemoon only seems to have the [-] [+] sizing buttons -- which quite frankly ought to be default ON the URL/search bar rather than hidden away on the Customize list).

Additionally, is there a way to manually govern the length of the URL location field as opposed to the search field location? (As you can see, I like putting important buttons between the two, as then they are then conveniently nearer the middle of the screen on a larger monitor.)

Tango-Chocolate removing the title bar and close, minimize, and maximize buttons may be due to this bug.

I am not sure if it's possible to move the buttons.

The Tab buttons add-on installs and works fine for me, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean.

As for resetting page zoom to 100%, try View > Zoom > Reset or Cmd+0.

Do you mean that you can't adjust the URL field's size when you have buttons in the navigation bar between it and the search field? If that's the case, I unfortunately don't know what to do about it.

I hope that at least some of this is helpful to you.

Well, now, that makes me very unhappy because it sounds like a "feature" that might get "fixed" at some point. I *really* love the extra quarter-inch of vertical real-estate, and would not willing trade it for a useless bar holding only three buttons.

I don't need them moved, per se. Duplicates would do just fine, or anything that lets you mimic a pound-sign key-command with a button.

Temporarily moving those buttons out of the way re-enabled that functionality, so I'm set there now. (Thanks.)
