Cannot control background color in address bar, tab bar #356

Open VLM-TechEd opened 7 years ago

VLM-TechEd commented 7 years ago

Running Pale Moon 27.3, Win 7.

I just installed HCTP after some time away from it. I went through all the settings:

Titlebar = Disabled Custom Caption/Titlebar = Never Custom Min/Max/Closed buttons = Disabled (both settings) Home Button = Disabled (unchecked) Button style color = Transparent (but other settings seem to make no difference) Floating Menu = ON (checked) Autohide = ON (checked) Drag Fx window - OFF (unchecked) Advanced Settings = all default

And everything looks just fine. The titlebar and app menu button are gone. The Navigation Menu (address/search box, toolbar icons) is at the top of the screen, followed by the tabs (in rows, not scrolling).

BUT … the background color for both the Navigation Toolbar and the tabs is this dark, rather awful blue. It may be the blue of the app menu button, but there's so much of it that I can't tell for sure.

ALSO … I just noticed that neither alt nor F10 opens/displays the menubar/main menu.

I would be grateful for any observations or suggestions. Thank you.

Two more observations:

  1. Disabling the extension fixes the color problem and the shortcut problem, which, by the way, applied to all shortcuts, not just alt and F10.

  2. Disabling the extension restores the titlebar, but not the app menu button. There's just a big empty space where that once appeared. What preference is involved, please?

Also, I am running HCTP version 2.8.6.1 signed. AFAIK, that's the latest version that will install in Pale Moon out of the box (without adjusting code).

Well, I apologize, the app menu button was being controlled by another extension. I disabled that one and re-enabled HCTP. The shortcut problem is gone, but the color problem remains. Sorry for stumbling over myself; I am making an effort to resolve this on my own. :)

In my effort to resolve this, I have identified two HCTP-created preferences that may be relevant:

extensions.hide_caption.plus.adv.winbkg_color = #003A85 extensions.hide_caption.plus.adv.winbkg_color_enablelist = not_in_lwtheme

Will eliminating or modifying one or both of these solve my background color problem? If modifying, then what values might I choose instead?

VLM-TechEd commented 7 years ago

After a good night's sleep, I realize that the first of the two aforementioned settings, extensions.hide_caption.plus.adv.winbkg_color, contains the hex value of the color. I found a color picker that enables me to convert RGB to hex, chose a color I prefer, and updated this preference. Problem solved.

There is still only one background color for both the nav bar and the tab bar; I would prefer 2 different colors. Is that possible?
