smaller header #7

Closed pjhalsli closed 4 years ago

pjhalsli commented 4 years ago

I already asked this on reddit but no matter what I do I can't get it the way I want it. Here's a pic of opera vs FF](https://imgur.com/a/NEBvfap) as you can see the header in FF is much taller almost double the size. What I want is the urlbar and the tabs right under so all this wasted space disappears. Not sure if its even possible Another thing when I minimized my tabs the new tab button disappeared. The button is still there but the plus sign is gone - and the button is only visible when I hover over it. I've used nighttab for approx 8 months now and I was convinced it couldn't be any better than it was - you proved me wrong. This is truly the icing on the cake

For your new tab issue please take a look at the 5th bullet point in the instructions.

Other than that I can only suggest setting all the urlbar related CSS variables to 0 or as low as you can. That should reduce the height of the header area. Changes beyond that kind of fall outside the scope of what I created this configuration to look like. If the wasted space you are referring to is to the left of the urlbar between it and the back/forward buttons, it is there is because the urlbar has its contents centered and its width forced to a large value so that is in the middle. You can play around with the the selectors related to those properties to achieve the look you want.

the wasted space I'm referring to is that I want the tabs closer to the urlbar - so there's not so much spoace between them. I feel the header area is very high and thought if I got the tabs closer to the urlbar it woiuld be smaller? I will continue to play around with it - I got it a little smaller but not as small as I want it.. Anyways - big thanks for this. I thought zombiefox had invented perfection with nighttab but you actually improved it. So thank you

for the plus sign to come back for the new tab - it seems one need to have the tabs a t least at 25 px height. Mine are at 18 atm and the plus sign won't appear. This is no big issue for me thoug as I use ctrl -t for new tab and ctrl -w for closing tabs-. I use a tiling window manager so I'm, used to keybindings for everything. If possible I could remove the whole new tab button altogether

I got it to where I'm happy with it now so I'll close this.

@pjhalsli if you're still trying to decrease the height of the header, here are a couple things i did:

You probably don't need to do all that depending on the look you're going for, but you can play around with those settings

I got mine to look pretty neat actually - but thank you :-)

edit: I tried your suggestions - and the toolbar-top setting really did the trick - now my FF looks exactly like I had hoped. Thank you :+1:
