What would you like to suggest for Geckium?

I finally switched to Firefox back in May and there were a few things that still bugged me that I managed to work around and it turned out almost perfect. I just saw a video on this and thought maybe it might fix some things that were lacking. Unfortunately, it made things worse. My main annoyance is how it squishes the tabs at the top and none of the options for colors are the same along with the way it shows borders. I'm completely fine with the way Firefox has these besides the tab list and other unnecessary buttons. I'd prefer the default 'puzzle piece' icon Firefox uses as well.

Another thing that bugged me was how Chrome changed downloads to pop up at the top rather than down to the status bar. Is there an option for this? I use IDM but sometimes it misses downloads and I don't know when things have downloaded or even began.

Another nice touch is grabbing a tab from the top and dropping it in the center to open in an empty tab set. This is by default. But on Chrome, you could grab that tab and bring it back to the other tab group because the underlaying page would come to the forefront and you could just drop it. Currently I have to hit alt+tab which isn't a major deal, but it's still annoying.

My main pet peeve with firefox is the dev window options being laid out differently. Chrome splits the screen while Firefox shows it at the bottom. And the mobile button resizes on chrome to display as an Android device would with touch options while Firefox just makes it extremely zoomed out... I don't know what they're doing there.

These changes would make it excellent. For now, I will stick with my manual changes but cool project, nonetheless!

This... is annoying for those who use a lot of tabs indeed, it's how Chromium did it back then but I do wanna make disabling the tab scrolling an option, just not sure how yet.

I am not sure what's being talked about here, could you elaborate?

The download shelf does exist in Geckium (https://youtu.be/hBZe_jbpN3k, and you can unpin the downloads button), has it not been working for you?

because the underlaying page would come to the forefront and you could just drop it.

I am assuming you mean the window here? This whole functionality has always been superior in Chrome in my opinion, unfortunately, I don't think there's anything I can do about this in Firefox, not without making a whole other Firefox fork at least 🤔

Chrome splits the screen while Firefox shows it at the bottom.

You can choose where the developer tools show up: image

Firefox just makes it extremely zoomed out...

I am assuming Chrome does some scaling for people's screen resolution, while Firefox just sets the mobile resolution and does no scaling, making it appear very small. Also something I can't fix, but maybe there's a way to suggest this to Mozilla via Bugzilla?

Is there something I can do like cut out part if the code for this?

I guess I'm talking about the theme. Is there a way to go with the theme the way it is by default? I like the ability to bring back other functionality but this is a big dealbreaker for me.

I tried a download quickly and didn't see it show up, honestly. I was keeping my eyes peeled for all of the differences.

I'll have to look over this portion again. I don't get why they zoom it out soo far although I'm not sure if the grab-scrolling is implemented even if it were zoomed in.

Thanks for taking the time to answer these quesions.
