Firefox 3 Release & Stardock Site Compatibility
(Read More)

Firefox 3.0 goes final and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, June 17th.

There are currently known incompatibilities between Firefox 3 and many of our sites and forums. For the most part, the sites function properly, but have formatting issues. A specific example are the login & password fields to log into these forums. In Firefox 3, instead of both being on the same line, they are stacked vertically.

We will be addressing these visual issues in time. Please do NOT post threads on the forums pointing out Firefox 3 site issues. They will be deleted. We are aware of the problems and will work as quickly as we can to resolve them.

Until posted otherwise, the only version of Firefox our sites support at the moment is Firefox 2.

Favorites Menu and Spaces Between Toolbars

By Xiandi Posted May 3, 2008 19:36:39

I am at a complete loss. I can't seen to get my favorites menu to skin. Anybody have any tips?

I also want to know if these white spaces between the toolbars can be removed, skinned or whatever. I want to make it look seamless.

I'm on XP pro using SKS6. Thanks in advance!

The 'Favorites' menu is a bmp image and will not use transparency so make sure those are right.

The 'lines' are the horizontal and vertical separators and they can be skinned

It is a 24 bit .bmp

That should be just fine, make sure you do not have 'flat' menus activated.

they arent big....bout 2x2 pixel


They can be up to 4 or 5 pixels wide (for vert, 4 or 5 high for horz) and just about any hieght (length for horz) and either tile or stretch. This gives you many options to play with them as they can be valuable depending on the skin and/or style.

Ok, I'll go get those seperators skinned.   

The favorites menu looks right in the preview window of SKS, but will not apply for some reason.

I don't get it. Neither will skin for me.

The favorites menu looks right in the preview but will not apply. I do not have flat menus checked, it's a 24 bit bmp.

I've tried to skin the seperator in a couple of ways. The way Kitty suggested, 2x2 magic pink, has no effect. I also tried to make a 800x5 image with the pattern in it...no effect.

I'll try again in the morning. If anyone can think of anything else to try I would be grateful.

And thank you SK, Kitty and Cavan for your help so far!

I got it figured out, with a little help from Kitty.

I'm not sure why my 2x2 magic pink seperator was not working at first, but it's working now.

I had 'flat menu' checked in the favorites menu, so that was not skinning. (I don't remember EVER checking that box, but there is was.

voidcore, I'm not sure what you're saying/asking. Yes, it's IE7.

That is checked by default in skin templates. Remeber this next time you make a skin.
