Status Bar Text Color Change?

Edit Subject

Which version of Firefox and what OS are you using? It is a darker theme, but it should be usable and not gray on gray. (I'm on a Mac and the status bar is a deep red/black gradation.) Hope to have a better answer once we get the additional info.

Thanks for replying, I have Firefox 3.5.3 and run WinXPPro 5.1 build 2600.
The text is more of a light grey with the bar being a tad bit darker grey, wich makes it pretty much unreadable. I even updated my video drivers hoping that might fix it.... but NOOOOOooooooo!

I feel forgotten....... anyone know how to fix this yet?

Joe:

Sorry, you're right. I didn't follow through on this appropriately.

I do have another question. Would you be willing to install this extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...

To get us a list of all your extensions? Or let us know what you're extensions running.

In Canvas, a Boom! that adds photos to your browser, we've seen some collision points with some graphically oriented extensions. This shouldn't happen but does and then it's a matter of finding the problem spot and resolving. With that list, we can start the troubleshooting process.

No idea how long a fix might take, but I know we are starting to look at the LFG code, so timing would be good.

a problem at all.... here ya go!! Hope this helps.

Application: Firefox 3.5.3 (20090824101458)

UUUUUUUGH!

I can live without the bar...... I guess..... but would rather have this fixed.
Should a text color change take this long to implement?

sorry...... i get grumpy when things don't work like they are supposed to.

Any news about a fix yet?

Joe: An update to LFG went out. Did that resolve the issues you were seeing?

Nope, I have version 1.2.3 and other than a couple more little things I have no use for (like surf canyon), it did nothing.
How difficult is it to change the color of some text?

Any chance you could post a screenshot? Do you mean the status bar text or the bar that appears when you do a find?

Thanks.

I definitely can provide you a way to fix it once I figure out what it is.

I used a nice black web page to make it easier for you to see, it is the bottom bar, or "status bar".

Do you have Personas installed by chance?

No, I sure don't, I even went through everything just to make sure.

Got it.

The issue is that you are using Windows XP Classic theme which I guess we didn't test well enough against. I'm having someone look at this.

Ah, good. fixed my laptop with that, I will wait for your fix for my desktop.

Thanks!
