Response to Rounder Fast Dial Boxes Tutorial

@Mafi0z
Thanks for your great Tutorial
I saw today a suggestion of Lain_13 on page 58 of the Russian Forum (in English) Russian Forum (in Russian) to make a file in Stylish to modify the Radius setting value in Fast Dial.
I put the following code together (see below)
Seems to work fine in Version 1.89.
Has the advantage of allowing one to keep the Radius setting when changing Versions of Fast Dial.(up to and including 1.90)
Please let me know if this works in Fast Dial Ver 2 ?
I have decided to post the Fast Dial Ver 1.90 of this Style to Userstyles for easy download into Stylish
To download this Style please click here
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url("about:blank") {
}
div.cell
{
-moz-border-radius: 15px !important;
}
(code modified July 16 2008)

I have found a solution to the problem.
The following code now works for Version 1.x:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);@-moz-document url("about:blank") {
}
div.cell
{
-moz-border-radius: 15px !important;
}

I am a little uncertain what exactly you are referring to with your:
>it can work for non selected cells too (only in firefox 3 though)<
But I did find this possible in FF2.

but because firefox 2 cannot display transparent logos, you must use regular logos, so when you "select" a cell, the top two corners will be covered by the non round corners of the logo.
i did try telega suggestion to replace the images directly in the firefox profile folder- and it worked - i will write a tutorial for this very soon...
@telega
maybe release a Fast Dial 1.91 for firefox 2 users - and leave out the scale feature - if its possible?

Good news about your discoveries. Look forward to seeing the Tutorial. Great work !
It will certainly help clarify further how Fast Dial works.
It remains unclear to what extent Fast Dial 1.x is dependent on Canvas.
I have been imagining that there might be a sort of hybrid possible where one could bypass Canvas' usual function in some way with a manual browse when loading a transparent .PNG into a cell.
It will be very interesting to see what Telega has to say about all this!

Please don't write a tutorial on this topic, as this isn't a recommended way of using Fast Dial.

In the absence of a Tutorial I would still be be very interested to learn how you achieved this.
I started trying this suggestion of Telega's out, but had only limited success.
My main interest concerns the size of the files that you loaded, and whether you placed them in slots taken in the Profile Folder by images generated by "Add to Fast Dial" or not.
Oh and a picture would be very interesting..

ok no tutorial then..
will using fast dial this way cause some sort of issue in the future? or is there another reason?
@chiaroscuro
if you go to your firefox profile folder you will see a folder named "fastdial" which is where all the logos are stored.

No, no issues, except that clicking Refresh button will re-generate image and overwrite the one you copied. I can implement simple copying of custom images instead of scaling them, but not sure I should do this, because in Firefox 3 opacity works out of the box. If you write a tutorial on manually copying files, I guess people would think that this is the recommended way of using Fast Dial, but this way is very unconvenient. So people would think FD is not convenient.
UPDATE: If you think Firefox 2 users still need opacity, I can make 1.91 version as you suggest. But I guess it's better to encourage people to use version 2.0 as it has many 1.9 issues fixed.

Congratulations.
The First Transparent Logos seen in Fast Dial in Firefox 2 !
I think you should definitely get some points for this ! :-)
Regarding your pictures they have answered my question.
It would appear that you loaded your Google Logo initially with the Properties/Custom image setting.
When you did this I am curious to know what was your background colour set to in the Custom Image setting.
Are your two files that you have loaded and renamed 3 and 3_big essentially the same image loaded twice but given different names ?
Great pictures, especially the one of the Fast Dial Folder.
Many thanks for this.

>maybe release a Fast Dial 1.91 for Firefox 2 users ?<
>I can make 1.91 version as you suggest<
This is a most interesting and welcome development :-)
I seem to remember that Fast Dial 1.90 was made to resolve problems caused by Firefox 3. Is one to suppose then that a proposed specifically Firefox 2 Version of FD would be more an upgrade of Ver 1.89 ?
I would be interested to learn of the specific limitations of not having scaling.
Many thanks.
