Fix Glasser Plugin in Firefox 3.1 Beta

firefox-logo  The Glasser Plugin is a plugin for Firefox that lets you extend glass down into the toolbar to give it a much better look in Windows Vista (and Win7 for that matter).  While this plugin works great on Firefox 3.0, it seems to have some issues with 3.1 relating to some code the Mozilla foundation checked in (they might be working on their own glassed UI).

Anyway, the issue is with the text in the address bar, search box, and menu text.  I have found a way to resolve this.  All you need to do is insert the following code into your userchrome.css file (located in:

C:\Users\Username\Appdata\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\{profilename}\chrome (Create the userchrome.css if it doesn’t exist already)

Insert the following code:

#main-window #urlbar {
   opacity: .99 !important;
   -moz-border-radius-topright: 0px !important;
   -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0px !important;
}
#main-window #searchbar .searchbar-textbox {
   -moz-border-radius-topright: 0px !important;
   -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 0px !important;
}
#main-window #search-container { opacity: .99 !important; }
#main-window #navigator-toolbox #toolbar-menubar { opacity: .99 !important; }

 

Save the file and start Firefox again.  Now it should all look normal and you will be able to see your text again.  Enjoy!
