Fast Dial Transparent With Stylish Addon.
Sanjay —Sat, 04/17/2010 - 09:43
Hi Guys
UPDATE (Works Only With Vista And Windows 7).
I have been reading a lot about fast dial cannot be transparent, it is possible.
I have been working with this code taken from http://userstyles.org/styles/19104.
I can get all of fast dial transparent and all of firefox but the down side is, it makes all websites transparent which some will like it some wont.
If someone can stop all websites from going transparent or slightly faded will be perfect, as i have tried for a long time and have been unsuccessful.
Here go's tutorial for noobs i am sure the more advance people will no what to do ( make sure you remove all other transparent apps, plugins, addons or stylish codes ).
1. First install Stylish https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108.
2. After install right click on the stylish status bar icon and turn off all styles ONLY turn on styles after the last step.
3. Again right click on the stylish status bar icon and write new style > blank style.
4. Name the title Glass Firefox and then add code below in the big white empty box and save.
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
*:not([style*="rgb"]){
-moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass !important ;
background: transparent !important;
color:white !important; }
5. Create another new style named Glass Websites and then add the 2 codes together below in the big white empty box and save.
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("") {
*:not([style*="rgb"]){
-moz-appearance: transparent !important ;
color: white !important;}
}
@-moz-document url-prefix("http://"), url-prefix("https://") {
*:not([style*="rgb"]){
background: black !important ; }
}
6. Right click on the stylish status bar icon and turn on all styles and enjoy!.

Congratulations..
I too was very interested in this particular line of enquiry....
This question has been bothering me for some time...
There had to be a way....
Does this work for you in Firefox 3.6.3 ?
If you click on the Stylish icon while you are on the Fast Dial Page, and click on
write new style / for this URL
You should get this heading at the top of your style:
Insert your present style (minus the header) between the brackets
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html") {
}
This should limit the effect of your code to the Fast Dial Page.
Let me know how you get on....

I am curious...

I cannot get it to work...
Do you really need the two styles ?
Maybe only works with Firefox 3.5
For reasons which are unclear to me Google will not find anything for the string:
-moz-win-glass

Yes you do need create both styles, in step 4 it will make firefox transparent and step 5 will make websites transparent.
If you only add 1 of them it wont work.
Yes it works with all versions of firefox i am using firefox 3.6.3.
I have also tried your theory of adding ( chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html ) in stylish about a year ago when i played with the code above have never been successful, at first i quite liked all the websites transparent then lost interest.
Just reading through your forum came across with the transparent issue wanted to share what i had maybe some one can work with the code and make it work.

Yes you do need create both styles
What I meant was can you not put all the styles together in one style...

Not exactly a theory...

I have set up the two programs
The effect is to freeze firefox
There must be an error somewhere....
Are you running another glass style in Stylish ??

Submitted by Sanjay on Sat, 04/17/2010 - 15:11The effect is to freeze firefox
It only freezes when you enable/disable the styles.
When you enable style it freezes you just have to click show desktop on windows and then restore firefox,
It wont freeze again until you disable the style.
Are you running another glass style in Stylish ??
No other styles, only the 2 styles mentioned above check the picture below click on tinypic link for expanded version.

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Sat, 04/17/2010 - 15:21Thanks for your help...
I can only presume that this is Firefox Version Specific...
or
Windows operating System Specific.
Thanks for the tip about freezing will retry

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Sat, 04/17/2010 - 15:29For some reason I cannot get this to work...
I would be interested to hear of others who do get this to work.
There must be some element that effects this...
Many thanks
