Technorati Search Plugin for Moz

Hello folks, Long time no see!

Technorati Search Plugin. Just made for searching in Technorati .It is Search Plugin ("Mycroft", you might call) for Moz family, not Extention. So you can use it with Firefox/Mozilla Suite/WaMCom/Beonex/Netscape 6+.

It's not new though, still useful.

Web Developer Extension

Great Exteision!

Lo-Fi for Moz1.5 Bug Tracking

1. Collasped toolbar too high, and its width not consistent before/after browser window launch. - FIXED
   In global/toolbar.css:

   toolbargrippy[tbgrippy-collapsed="true"] {
     height: 9px !important;
     width: 23px !important;
   }
   

   yep, !important is important.

Lo-Fi for Mozilla 1.5

Sorry to be late! I'm too lazy, I'm too lazy, I'm too lazy... At last 1.5 version is available. If you find something annoying, please let me know. Thanks for everyone who send me email to get me back. And thanks John for attaching 1.5 version to bugzilla in mozdev.org (what a hell, it was more than 2 month ago...). Now I don't have much time though, I'll write to him in next few days if we can share works to keep this theme updated.

Oh well, looks like it is still compatible with Mozilla 1.6. :-)

I don't forget about the Birds, hmm...

Enjoy!

Switched to Moz 1.5

Finally I switched to Mozilla 1.5 (from 1.4.1). Soon I'll do UI tweak adjusting to my taste.

Lo-Fi for 1.5

Hi. I'm alive. am now geographically moving to another place during the first weekend of November, not that long miles away but much things have to be done.

for Lo-Fi for Moz1.5, follow this link at this moment. John kindly updated it! I've not yet tried it out though (I'll check it out later.). I have plan to update for 1.5 if it is needed, but I can hardly move netgraphically at least one week or so.

Thanks!

1st Mozilla Meetup

Participated first Mozilla Meetup. It was held in Tokyo, Japan, at Ben's Cafe (nice cafe! I like this place!), on the day just a year passed from Mozilla 1.0 release.

Attendees: Erwan, Gashu, Fakhar, kazhik, Ryuzi Kambe, yukichi

Below are the things we talked about, which I can remember:

• XUL is a simple programming language. It potentially gives more oppotunity of creating software to people who usually do not code.
• Its limitation depends on JavaScript. Due to JavaScript is a script language, does not have rich libraries, so it's not that much powerful like Perl or Ruby.
• Translation interface of rikai.com, which uses Perl, is interesting.
• Nowadays, useful references of XUL, e.g. XUL Tutorials in XUL Planet are available, so It is not hard to understand what the XUL is, but following up version incompatibility is hard thing, and it can prevent continuous development for third party software.
• Erwan is considering MOJI code transplantation from Seamonkey to Mozilla Firebird.
• Gashu has started updating Lo-Fi theme for Mozilla Firebird 0.6 in slow pace. It will be out without some toolbar icons for first release.
• Mozilla 1.0 used to be expected that Mozilla's API would be fixed till 2.0, but it is still changing.
• To start XUL programing, creating extentions for Mozilla is best way to learn.
• Komodo IDE uses whole Mozilla 0.9.5 as its XUL rumtime environment.
• Composer++ rocks as a standalone XUL product.
• Is GRE + XUL Toolkit XRE?
• AOL and Microsoft thing might effect hardware/network resource of mozilla.org. Now it seems to be in AOL network but it might be going to move to other place with less bandwidth. If situation goes like that, every regional community site should recommend using mirrors.
• Potentially, P2P file sharing will help some.
• It is a good idea to imprement XHTML Ruby support to Wazilla, and the patch is already available.
• Wazilla's purpose is gathering feedback for patches so imprementing XHTML Ruby support to improve usability is out of focus.
• i18n patches proposed from Bugzilla-jp to bmo are often ignored.
• It maybe because there are few resource for qualifying i18n patch.
• Using UTF-8 as software charset can widen range of usability of software itself. Especially Japanese codeset, it has three - SHIFT-JIS, EUC-JP and ISO-2022-JP - it's too much.
• Some people bothering UTF-8. It is said that some people are feeling cultural violation to UTF-8.
• English to Japanese translation resource of Mozilla is great.
• Japanese to English translation resource is very few. That is one of the big problem of Opensource software (in every project).
• Why here's no girl? This is a critical problem. How can we make girls like Mozilla?
• Change Lizard to something pretty like Hello Kitty, or make Ayumi Hamasaki say she likes to use Mozilla.
• yukichi has succeeded three girls to use Mozilla. More expected.
• Ryuzi Kambe likes to collect image files (of blue oceans).
• The Soft Revolution is cool.

Lo-Fi for 1.3b

I've just started working on update Lo-Fi theme for Mozilla 1.3 Beta, since I was pretty impressed by Midas. Hope to see you in next few days!

For those missing "Close Other Tabs" tab menu, Tabbrwser Extentions can take it back.

Home button, Phoenix

Thanks (or Danke! ) Volker for some notes about Lo-Fi theme.

Lots of things have to be done before 2003 comes, so I'm afraid I cannot take my time even in my holidays. I would like to make Lo-Fi for phoenix as well, But perhaps it's impossible in this year, at least.

Theme 1.0.1 -> 1.0.2

Watch out 1.0.x theme authors! You need to add some CSS for Mozilla 1.0.2. Without them, you cannot re-launch Mail/News, and in my case, Moz stays in background when I quit Moz after the failure of Mail/News re-launch. Solution is easy. Just add CSSs mentioned below in /messenger/.

• messageKeywords.css
• folderPaneExtras.css
• threadPaneExtras.css
