Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration

Apparently Fedora is already experimenting with it and it should be available to the rest of us by Firefox 59 going by the reddit link.
Though it's somewhat confusing as the pictures shown in the omgubuntu link looks like genuine client side decoration as the tabs go all the way to the top of the screen yet if you look at the Fedora link they still don't and just look like the title bar has been reduced slightly?

Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
Yeah, by the screenshot it looks like there is actually very little difference.
When I give opinions, they are my own. Not necessarily those of any other Linux Mint developer or the Linux Mint project as a whole.
Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
Lets hope there is something something wrong with Fedora's implementation as it does seem like a pointless exercise for a couple more pixels.
Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
Who knows, we may even be able to get the tabs back below the address bar, where they belong.
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!

I'm slightly concerned you may also move the bottom task bar to the top as well.Moem wrote:Who knows, we may even be able to get the tabs back below the address bar, where they belong.
I'm starting to wonder if it will make FF 59 considering they have been at it for ages and it was supposed to have been release ready for FF 57aes2011 wrote:Seems to work "partially" for users of kwin or xfwm4
Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
I think I've read where this can be done by using the 'userChrome.css file in your profile. I added this file to get a little folder color back and it workedMoem wrote:Who knows, we may even be able to get the tabs back below the address bar, where they belong.

Sorry, what's a bottom task bar? I looked at my bottom in the mirror but it doesn't appear to have a task bar.Lucap wrote:I'm slightly concerned you may also move the bottom task bar to the top as well.

Eminently doable: https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx/releases/ for that and much, much more!Moem wrote:Who knows, we may even be able to get the tabs back below the address bar, where they belong.
But a clean version is right here: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=257605
Back to CSD. In the current Firefox 59 CSD still has far to go. Several pointless pixels above the tabs and an empty square at the left end of the tab bar. As things stand now, in KDE at least, it's easy to make a window-specific rule to cleanly lose the title bar. Min/max and close are also taken out but there's always the keyboard for that.

Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
I don't get it - is it a big deal to remove the titlebar (I do that with fluxbox) or move a menu bar somewhere else (can probably do that with userChrome.css) ?
If they want users to be able to customize a program's GUI they should emulate foobar - or just copy it because the guy designed and implemented it so well.

Apparently you have to be careful with layout.css.devPixelsPerPx with editing userChrome.css and alike otherwise there is scaling problems that the font rendering can look fuzzy in relation to the viewable screen?
Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
In Firefox 59, chrome://browser/skin/browser.css hasbut adding that code to userChrome.css and reducing the px values does nothing for me even after adding "!important". There's still the ~8px dead space above the tab bar.
Code: Select all
:root {
/* Note: Setting this to 0 (without px) breaks CSS calculations for OSX. */
--space-above-tabbar: 0px;
}
:root[extradragspace][tabsintitlebar]:not([inFullscreen]) {
--space-above-tabbar: 8px;
}
/* Toolbar / content area border */
Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
I've accomplished the same in Xfce by installing a package called devilspie (instructions: https://serge-m.github.io/how-to-hide-f ... nsion.html) and using it to hide the Firefox titlebar.aes2011 wrote:As things stand now, in KDE at least, it's easy to make a window-specific rule to cleanly lose the title bar.

As you say, removing the titlebar also removes the maximize/minimize/close icons. But you can get those back with the following Firefox extensions:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... he-window/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... he-window/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... he-window/
The end result is quite nice:

Thanks for the idea of putting back the icons. And devilspie is great for Xfce users who want to script window management.H.Remedy wrote:...

Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
I can't remember the exact reason why ( it might have been the developer of Htitle that said it? ) but a few years back i vaguely remember there was a problem with devilspie and the developer vanished and then someone forked it into devilspie2.
I think it was something to do with the way it changed the pixel layout or something so it might be worth looking into if it can be done with devilspie2 until Firefox implements their own changes?

Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
Thanks for the tip about devilspie2. It turns out the first version was just not being maintained anymore, so someone forked it. The fork is not compatible with the original. However, for my very simple need, the original version is fine.Lucap wrote:I think it was something to do with the way it changed the pixel layout
Here's a link to the newer project for anyone interested: http://www.nongnu.org/devilspie2/. Amusingly enough, there's a big notice at the top asking for a new maintainer.

@Lucap, @H.Remedy, thanks for the updates. I wonder if Wayland on the horizon is inducing a sense of "what's the use ..." ?H.Remedy wrote:Thanks for the tip about devilspie2. ...Lucap wrote:I think it was something to do with the way it changed the pixel layout

Re: Coming soon - Firefox Client Side Decoration
I hope this won't mean that Firefox will start ignoring user set window widget placement like Chrome does.
