I enable this extension when I work only on my laptop and I disable it when I connect my laptop to a big screen because when I have enough space, I prefer to always see navigation and bookmark toolbar.

Do you think it would be possible to add a setting to tell this extension that when the screen is > 800px, the toolbar should be shown ?

Quicksaver commented 10 years ago

Technically yes, it would be possible to do something like this. And I can see how this would be useful in certain situations like yours. But I'm not certain about one specific issue this might bring, and I'd like your opinion before I implement this, as you work with multiple screens like this.

If for some reason you would decide that, just for "this website/session/day/whatever", you would like the toolbars to hide even when on the big screen, would it be an acceptable behavior for you to go to the add-ons options and disable this setting, or would that be worse than what you're doing now (disabling the add-on on the big screen)?

I have an alternative which I think is better. Would you accept a menu item in the context menu (when you right click the toolbars) to disable hiding the toolbars, so that you can more easily toggle this?

Proxiweb commented 10 years ago

context menu would be fine... or a shortcut.

Quicksaver commented 10 years ago

The latest beta (1.1b4) at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/the-fox-only-better/versions/ has both a context menu item and a configurable keyboard shortcut if you'd like to try it out. Hopefully this is enough for your case, I investigated adding media queries but things like these would be very arbitrary to add, as in what you consider a large screen might not be for others...
