[Release] Various theme ports/forks

[Lootyhoof]

Can't confirm it as a theme issue.



Are you using some sort of third-party system theme? The above screenshot was made using the reg values you provided in the other thread - ruling out anything else.

[Falna]

No, just a custom userChrome.css - did that so long ago that I'd forgotten, or I'd have thought to mention it.
But it still worked fine until the update (think I was on v1.2) - and it works fine if I revert back to v1.1.1 (happen to have kept a local copy of that).
File attached with extension changed.

[Moonchild]

Well that would explain then XD

Code: Select all

#main-window[windowtype="navigator:browser"] {
    background-color: #FBFBFB !important;
}

#nav-bar {
    background-color: #FBFBFB !important;
    margin-bottom: -2px !important;
}

You're overriding the accent colored background with an off-white, while the browser now detects the accent color and changes text accordingly to white. You probably just have to add an override for text color to get back to business with your off-white background?
Lootyhoof: that should be picked up by the icons automagically as well, right, if I understand the navbar-based-on-toolbar-color juggling that's going on now correctly...?

[Lootyhoof]

Glad we managed to find the culprit.

As for the toolbar detection, White Moon does do slightly more... If it's on a transparent toolbar (i.e. navbar while tabs on bottom) then it's a bit more rigourous in changing the images, to suit window frame metrics better.

[Falna]

You're overriding the accent colored background with an off-white, while the browser now detects the accent color and changes text accordingly to white.

So the earlier version of White Moon blocked the browser from changing the text color, and this block has now been removed.
And the new version is supposed to change the icon color as well as the text color.
So I guess that these are intentional changes to the theme that make it work better for less awkward users than me...

You probably just have to add an override for text color to get back to business with your off-white background?

Yes, I could certainly do that to fix the text. What do I need to override to change the icons? (And will that only affect the White Moon icons? Other icons are unaffected by this.)

By the way, the help is appreciated

Quite the opposite - older versions didn't change based on the window colour. But when the option was added to Pale Moon to detect dark toolbars/window frames, I took it upon myself to add it to the theme.

What do I need to override to change the icons? (And will that only affect the White Moon icons? Other icons are unaffected by this.)

The following will change the text colour, which should then affect the display of the icons:

Code: Select all

#toolbar-menubar:not(:-moz-lwtheme),
#TabsToolbar[tabsontop=true]:not(:-moz-lwtheme),
#nav-bar[tabsontop=false]:not(:-moz-lwtheme),
#nav-bar + #customToolbars + #PersonalToolbar[collapsed=true] + #TabsToolbar[tabsontop=false]:last-child:not(:-moz-lwtheme) {
  color: black !important;
}

Though, this will still result in the opacity of the icons changing when the window is inactive. If this is an issue, it can be fixed via CSS still.

Thanks for your help Lootyhoof; good to have everything running as expected again

White Moon has been updated to v1.4.1. This is just a quick-fix release to make the tab close button icons look correct. Sorry!

[JodyThornton]

Aeromoon has been updated to v1.1.2, to fix the above-mentioned issues.

Hi Lootyhoof:

On Aeromoon, is there any easy way to create a forward button that is separate from the back button? Basically what I'd love is either is twin back/forward round blue buttons, or a smaller round forward button (like your Qute theme is set up). Is that possible?

[Lootyhoof]

There's not, unfortunately. These are joined to act the same as the unified back/forward button of Firefox 3.

Basically what I'd love is either is twin back/forward round blue buttons, or a smaller round forward button (like your Qute theme is set up). Is that possible?

These types of icons appear when in icons+text mode. You could enable this, then remove the text:

Code: Select all

.toolbarbutton-1 > .toolbarbutton-text {
  display: none !important;
}

[JodyThornton]

I'll try that this evening. Thanks Lootyhoof

[Lootyhoof]

XMoon has been updated to v1.3.0. This version makes some major changes to the titlebar area, to fix issues with the window titles. Users on Windows 7 and above using compositor mode (Win7: Aero, Win8+: default) will see the biggest change, as we now use a native-style titlebar:



As shown, those on Windows Classic/Aero Basic/any XP theme (i.e. non-compositor) system themes are largely unaffected, and still use the Mac style for the titlebar.

This release also fixes some issues with tab close buttons not showing correctly.

Enjoy!

Kempelton is excellent as usual. Curious as to why Aeromoon looks so different from 1.1.2 though? With tabs on top (I never use tabs this way, was only testing the theme), I've noticed a subtle white glow around the bookmarks and menubar text (Under Win7/Vista)
Almost appears as if it were designed for translucency? The small white gradient is also gone from the menubar colour palette. Great looking theme still, though the authenticity feels a bit narrowed. Still using 1.1.2 here.
Thanks for the continued efforts. Your skins are probably the best, if not the only great browser themes left around

Thanks for spotting this, I'll look into it.

Yikes! No the icons are too far apart. I tired the no-un buttons plugin but no go. Thanks for your help though.

Would it be possible to create a dark version of this theme?

[New Tobin Paradigm]

Why? OS X which this is supposed to integrate and/or mimic with does not have dark themes..

Also, why would you ask if it is possible.. It is a theme.. which has images and css.. Of course it is possible.. But Ryan maintains 30+ themes.. Perhaps you can make a dark version based on this theme.. It isn't THAT complicated but it CAN be a bit time consuming.

Lootyhoof shouldn't be expected to do EVERYTHING and cater to every whim someone has when it comes to themes.. He has already done WAY MORE than any individual in the history of browser themes has EVER done.

I would say our current library of themes provides a fairly complete example for most possibilities out there.. It is now up to you guys to start making/porting themes to Pale Moon. We got you started.. Now you guys have to step up and create something new or bring some more of the 400 or so other themes ever made to Pale Moon.

[Lootyhoof]

Aeromoon has been updated to v1.2.1.

What's new?
- ensure Aero toolbar styling is applied consistently
- improve about: page in preparation for Tycho

Why? OS X which this is supposed to integrate and/or mimic with does not have dark themes..

Technically, OS X Yosemite and later do have a dark theme, though only the menu bar is dark.

Would it be possible to create a dark version of this theme?

It's certainly possible, though I've no plans currently for this, sorry.

[Lootyhoof]

Just to re-iterate (in case people didn't see the note in the known issues page): Yes, I'm aware Tycho v27.0.0b1 has issues with themes. Yes, I'm making changes. Please be patient while I get the changes worked out.

[Lootyhoof]

All themes have been updated to support changes in Pale Moon 27. For detailed changelogs please visit the changelogs on GitHub.

These releases are available on the Pale Moon Add-Ons Site in addition to automatic updates. They will be added to GitHub soon.

Enjoy!
