1 month ago Let's first explain how my list modifications are implemented.
Initially, the element is initially injected using WindowListener.injectElements(..) into the window (FilterListDialog.xhtml), before #status-bar element. I think that element actually doesn't exist anymore, but it's immaterial because I relocated it using javascript code.
See qFi-filterlist.js.
WL.injectElements(`
<window id="filterListDialog">
(2 popup sets first)
<toolbox id="quickfilters-toolbox" insertbefore="status-bar" tooltip="quickFiltersToolTip">
...
</window>
`);I then lift it up before the first <hbox> element in qFilters-list.js in the setupToolbar() function:
setupToolbar: function() {
const prefs = quickFilters.Preferences,
getElement = document.getElementById.bind(document);
// Toolbar
const toolbox = getElement("quickfilters-toolbox"),
hbs = document.getElementsByTagName('hbox'),
hbox = hbs ? hbs[0] : null ;
let isToolbar = false;
if (!prefs.getBoolPref("toolbar")) {
toolbox.collapsed = true;
} else if (hbox && toolbar) { // move toolbox up
hbox.parentNode.insertBefore(toolbox, hbox);
isToolbar = true;
if (quickFilters.Util.AssistantActive) { // needs to bve asked from background script!
let button = getElement('quickFiltersBtnStart');
button.checked = true;
}
toolbox.collapsed = false;
}
//...
} ,So my code just assumes that the first <hbox> would be of the unmodified window:
<hbox id="filterHeader" align="center">
sometimes Thunderbird elements didn't have ids, but I checked back to Tb v60 it was always called #filterHeader so I guess it should be easy (and safe) enough to modify. We have to bear in mind that at some stage all xhtml dialogs will be rewritten in html so a lot of stuff will change in the future anyway.
WoofGrrrr
I am using the userChromeJS extension to run my userChrome.js script. The userChromeJS extension causes this script to run when one of a selected list of windows is opened. I have modified the extension to add the "Message Filters" window to this list.
One of the things my userChrome.js script does to is replace the System Title Bar on the Message Filters window with my own title bar implementation, much the same as how "Tools -> Settings -> General -> Language & Appearance -> Hide system window titlebar" works.
In my script, I use code like the following to place a XUL
<vbox>element as the first element of the<body>elementIt then adds other elements as descendants of this
<vbox>The quickFilters tool bar is appearing ABOVE what my code is adding. I want my title bar to be at the very top.
In fact, the quickFilters tool bar is added as the FIRST CHILD of my
<vbox>.From the Thunderbird Developer Toolbox:
Could you please add it BEFORE this element instead:
I would do it in my userChrome.js script, but the script is not finding an element with ID "quickfilters-toolbox". It looks like userChrome.js is being called before the quickFilters code is invoked???
