Folder appearance addon for bookmark toolbar?

Unread post by denise1952 » 2016-10-08, 18:08

Running 26.5.0 (x64) Version of Palemoon

I have my bookmarks toolbar arranged the way I like it now (love the options I can use in "customizing") but I was hoping I could
find something to make the folders look nicer (imo) instead of the manila yellow.

Does anyone know of something that will work with my version of Palemoon? I tried the Mozilla "Roomy Bookmarks" addon but it is not compatible with Palemoon. I do realize Palemoon is not Firefox, and "some" addons will work, but not all.

Would someone let me know if they know of anything compatible? I also tried the "favicon" addon, I think that was from FF too. It didn't work because after changing the folders into favicons, and putting all related bookmarks in, they didn't stay put.

Thank you in advance for any help :)

Good news: there's no need for an extension, you can easily do this via userchrome.css. I've done it in the past replacing the yellow icons with nice blue, Amiga icons.

Bad news: I've lost that file and have no clue on how to do it again. I'll search a bit and re-post if I find anything.

Ok, found a working solution from an old thread here.

So, close Pale Moon and go to your profile folder. If you need to find it, type about:support in the address bar and press the Profile Folder/Show Folder button. Close Pale Moon. In the profile folder, go the Chrome folder. Create it if there isn't one.

Inside this Chrome folder, create a userChrome.css file (not userChrome.css.txt). Open it with a text editor and paste:

Code: Select all

#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container="true"] {
    list-style-image:url('youricon.png')!important;
   -moz-image-region:auto!important;}
Replace youricon.png with your icon file, doesn't have to be a .png file. Don't forget the extension and the quotes. Save and close userChrome.css and put your icon file in the Chrome folder. Open Pale Moon.
