Comment on “Presents on the tree”? by Mary

The truth is traditionally presents were hung on the tree. There was no wrapping paper and the colorful gift items helped decorate the tree. The tree was hidden from the children and so the gifts were still a surprise and the tree was only up for a day anyway (usually)

Daniel, no I’ve never heard of Flag Tab. Sounds like a useful extension, something that I could have used. Too bad it’s not being updated.

Have you ever heard of the addon called Flag Tab? I wish someone would update it. It allows you to click on a tab and change the color. So handy. Really miss it.

Mike, I just looked through the issue and didn’t see anything (article or ad) that looked like it related to sports figures. Sorry.

Becca, yeah, that’s why I said I was now the product — they’re selling my eyes to the advertisers.

Maybe you should start sending the ad pages back to the magazine company.

I guess they (the ads) make it possible for the magazine subscription to be fairly cheep. If they (the magazine) didn’t have companies paying them to run ads, YOU would be paying for the printing (or you would not subscribe because it cost too much!).

Comment on Tweaking Firefox tab colors, part 2 (The Firefox 4 edition) by Curtis Gibby

bkanuka,

I found out that Firefox extension files (.xpi) are just renamed .zip files. So I downloaded TMP, unzipped it, and looked through all of its files. I finally found what I was looking for in the chrome folder’s tabmixplus.jar (which was itself a renamed .zip file that I had to extract).

In the unzipped .jar files content/tab/tab.js, there’s a function called createColorRules. At about line 997, I found the CSS rules that I pulled out for my own purposes.

I too can figure out how to do something in Tab Mix Plus, but not CSS. How did you figure out what TMP was adding to to the tabs CSS?
