So I've used the Huffington Post boom for a few years now. I have a netbook, so I had the minimalist version of it at the top of my screen - the version with 6 news categories and a ticker...Something went wrong today and it vanished. I reinstalled, but the new version won't seem to let me have a minimalist option - i.e. only taking up one line - the new version has an enormous logo taking up a chunk of the top left of my toolbars, and distorting my menu and navigation toolbars...And, with all the HP news categories showing now, I can only see about 2 words of the ticker headlines...
How can I go back to the old version or customize this one to minimize - I really just want the ticker...

Our new design utilizes the Personas Firefox infrastructure so we don't have the minimize option anymore.
I have a way to make things better for you, though. I'll have something to you in the next day or so. -

OK, so this is a really easy change that will allow you to customize your huffpost toolbar however you want. Firefox has this cool file called userChrome.css that lets you customize your browser. You can read more about it here:

It also tells you how to create the file. It's really straightforward.
If you use put the CSS I'm specifying below into the file, you'll hide the logo and shrink the toolbar. You can also hide any buttons that you want to and then you'll have all the space you want:
#navigator-toolbox {
background-image: none !important;
}
#nav-bar {
margin-left: 0px !important;
}
#bt-btpersonas-toolbar {
margin-top: 0px !important;
margin-bottom: 0px !important;
}
#bt-entertainment {
display: none !important;
}
In my example, I'm hiding entertainment, but you can hide any button - just use bt-thename - bt-politics, bt-comedy, etc.
Let me know if you need any help with this and I can get you setup. -

One more line to put in the file:
#bt-btpersonas-spacertop {
display: none !important;
} -
-
One more tweak.
To make sure these rules only apply to the huffpost theme, make each line look like this:
#main-window[style*="huffpost"] #navigator-toolbox {
background-image: none !important;
}
That way if you switch to a different theme, it won't lose its background.
Again, feel free to contact me for help with this. -

And now you can add "browser extension developer" to your resume just because you used a Brand Thunder browser theme. All part of the value we try to add to our services ;-)
Seriously, though, we hope you got the result you wanted. -
