The Adblock problem seems to be caused by the fact that /adblock/skin need not be registered. I don't see the sense behind it, but unregistering skindata for Adblock does the trick without breaking anything. It turns out that the official installer doesn't register it anyway (I have a script put these together, which explains why it registered anyway).

Meanwhile...

Turns out we're both wrong: part of it is popup.css, and part of it is menu.css. Another part appears to be for either another .css or a conflict inside menu.css that I have yet to look into.

Don,
this is, more or less, my final report on Donzilla1.0.
I like it, but I detest all the extras, which should be made available as choices. I don't like Adblock, and, I think I, finally, removed everything about it. Googlebar is overdone, and I have no need for it. There was almost an entire page of entries in prefs.js after uninstalling it. Adblock was a bit worse, having entried all over localstore.rdf. How is it doing now, with three tabs, and two of the pregiven extentions (calendar and checky)? About 41MB memory use. I may have not brought Donzilla to my satisfaction, but I like it a lot.
I have no gripes with what was offered. I would, probably, never use a lot of the features, and, I like it this way much better.
Congratulations for the great job, and my apologies for "dumbing down" Donzilla. I can reverse what I did fairly easily, by reinstalling the program.
By the way, I don't like the fact that there is no choice for Search Engine.
and, the Search button is dead.

Fulvio,

Awhile back I attempted to rig the Mozilla installer to do this sort of thing upon install. For 1.1 (not a 1.0.1 bugfix) I'm hoping to have that, or something similar, done.

I can't seem to recreate your search button / engine selection problem, even after creating a new profile.

Any chance that the new build that you compiled is using post-20051210 Gecko code so we can have tab drag-and-drop reordering?

If I go to Edit|Preferences|Internet Search I get a very narrow dropdown with no names nor dropdown. The Search button is unresponsive.
Also, the Sidebar opens everytime, even if unchecked, and, there too there is no way to make selections. I have installed, successfully Mycroft, but I see nothing. I, probably messed something up removing all the googlebar items from prefs.js. The sidebar did not open before my cleanup. I may decide to uninstall 1.0, and then reinstall it, and see if all the pregiven extentions will be be put back in, and I, still be able to use the same profile.

That's interesting, becuase I can't seem to reproduce that on any profile, or on the other build for that matter.

Instead of reinstalling, here's a better idea: assuming that you've got a separate profile for Donzilla and Seamonkey (which I'd advise all users to do, if they're running both), copy prefs.js and search.rdf from (installdir)/defaults/profile, and see if that fixes the problem.

I do have separate profiles.
I don't get it. There is a Donzilla program in Program Files| Hardware... which has a defaults/profile, with the search.rdf of 2Kb, but no prefs.js .
The files in the profile and the donzilla program show three search engines listed, i.e. Google, Askjives and dmoz. What from where to where, and what?

I was not about to sit and wait. so, I uninstalled Donzilla, and use a cleanup utility, leaving the profile the way it was.
And, things happened, pretty much as I had them before, in localstore.rdf and prefs.js, and, i have back all the nine extention which I had removed.
The view is still messed up, with the Sidebar coming up again after each startup, as well as the Message Pane, in mail. I can tolerate the extra extention, but not this extra stuff. All I had removed were items with Adblock and Googlebar. And, yes, I still do not have any choice for the Search engines, anywhere.
So, I will wait, to see if you have any other idea.

I'm confused as to why that's happening, because I can't seem to recreate it. I tried everything I could think of -- created a new profile, installed it to a clean (hasn't had a Mozilla-based product installed before) NT4 installation, and the same two steps on Linux as well -- and I can't seem to make this happen.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Don,
I am confused as well. I tried what was actually an old profile (formerly used by Mozilla), and, everything looks fine. I get the long list of search engines, and no problem with Sidebar and Message Pane.
I did reinstall the program, and, got back all the extentions, and, then uninstalled them. I started having problem when I tried to remove all traces of Adblock, in particular. I did it by removing the several entried in localstore.rdf. But, I probably did not uninstall Adblock the correct way.
The dropdown for the Search engine consists of a very tiny blank window, and the dropdown changes from from white to blue.
The Sidebar and Messagepane are still coming up, even though I borrowed lines from my Seamonkey profile. e.g:<RDF:Description RDF:about="chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul#sidebar-splitter"
hidden="true" />
not present in Donzilla, to no avail.
The tiebreaker should be brand new profile, which I will do next.

A brand new profile works ok, as far as the browser is concerned, but I cannot seem to get any mail set up. The folders are in place, but no account shows up. Only Local folders are there. This is the most bizarre event ever.
But Sidebar and message pane are ok. I will have to see if some crazy setting is off, but what and why?

I bet I know exactly what that is. There's a feature new to Seamonkey that lets you put all your mail into one inbox in Local Folders. When you go to set up an account, you need to uncheck the box that says "Use Global Inbox". All seems to work if I uncheck that box.

May I make a feature request?

I was playing around with some userChrome.css hacks, and I found one to make a rounded location bar. Since Donzilla's default theme is modern, and there are some rounded elements and widgets in modern already, such as the border around the location bar, and the tops of tabs, I think it may look good in Donzilla.

If you're interested, here's the code:
Code: Select all
#urlbar {
    -moz-appearance: none !important;
    -moz-border-radius: 3px !important;
    }

That seems to me to be more octogonal than round.

I just applied this to my userChrome.css file (after removing the ending "p", which would screw it up), as not to disturb global.css yet.

Looks nice. I'm going to try doing the same to Googlebar (for continuity), and if I can do that, then there's a good chance this will ship for 1.1.
