Why not hit ctrl+n(ew)? I couldn't imagine having to click everything with the mouse..

If you want to launch seamonkey 2.23 or its updated version just click the "Browse" button on the desktop. Use menu item only for the built-in seamonkey.

Unfortunately, the Desktop may be beneath 10 instances of Seamonkey, plus 10 instances of Pfind, the Download Manager, maybe 5 open directories, 5 instances of VLC, other programs like Pmount, etc. [Honestly, right now, I have 5 instances of SM, two mounted directories, 4 instances of Pfind, 1 Pfilesearch in progress (a long text search for 'Browser Window'), 5 instances of VLC (just closed), Download Manager.] To reduce all this clutter with 'Show desktop' causes a huge disruption. Much less disruptive to use the browser to simply start another instance of SM.

In the past, it was the default Puppy home page, with helpful links. Right now, it's Google. But really, I would like to know how to change the order of that list in the browser, to make 'Browser Window' the top item, like it is in other versions of Seamonkey that I have used.

Since the extensions appear bogus, it's look'n more'n more like userChrome.css is the file to turn to.

The above if SM 2+ even honors the file? Have tested, so, not sure.

My idea involves a simple script and hotkey addition to /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal. I prefer hotkeys.

Ah-ha! The top edit works, if only to hide the menu item above the one you want:

Code: Select all

menuitem[label="Browser Tab"] {
    display: none !important;
}

Not bad for a :wink: novice!

I found the file you're talking about, but I can't make sense of the edit you are demonstrating.
/root/.mozilla/default/xyzxyzxy.slt/chrome/userChrome.css

Wary_512, SM 2.24 >> Now I'm on the same page.. almost.

*All I did was extract the latest build to /usr/local. This works fine with those dbus pets in place.

You're referencing an *old* userChrome.css.

Fact is you haven't created a new one to go along with your new ride.

What you should have is:
~/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.default/chrome_folder_YOU_create/userChrome.css_YOU_create
Just rt-clk inside the chrome folder >> new >> "blank file" and name it.

Go ahead and paste my code in there, save.. Wary'll know it's a css.

Make sure SM's down before editing. We never edit program files while they're up!

Dare I say, it works.

==

If ordering still matters, there's a note in the old css.

==

PS - I never realized just "how much" you can make these Mozilla browsers your own.

Too bad they've got such a heavy footprint..

Okay, what's next, cuz I'm not sure what this procedure accomplished.

Would you please post that note here.

So that we're on the same page.. we're discussing 2.23, correct?

Didn't this pet create a ~/.mozilla/seamonkey folder?

This would've happened during the first run..

PS - This pet doesn't work on 5.1.2.

Throwing a bus error, I re-extracted the latest build.

Still, you have two questions here.

My bad. Yes, the SM2.23 PET does create a Seamonkey folder.

1 Go to ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/xyzxyzxy.default to create new folder, chrome

2 Open new chrome folder to create new file, userChrome.css

3 Open new userChrome.css file to paste your code:

Code: Select all

menuitem[label="Browser Tab"] {
    visibility: collapse !important;
}  
4 What now? [This code hides 'Browser Tab' so that 'Browser Window' is at the top of the menu list.]
Thanks, Semme

That would be >> userChrome.css

All this does <as stated in a previous post> is *hide* your "Browser Tab" selection.

If you need more than this, you'll have to wait for someone who knows how to code it, cause I don't, @ least, not yet.

But, if you don't use that item >> who cares.

The selection you want becomes the first.

Actually, so rarely do I call 'Browser Tab' from this menu, it would be an instance where I learn to use the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + T). I don't really like multiple browser tabs because I get the impression they slow things down. Browser tabs obscure what's actually running as represented on the taskbar.

Too bad that Chromedit is no longer available as a Firefox/Seamonkey extension. Instead we get this version, ChromEdit Plus, from out in the wild:

Agreed.. I like to see reference to what's open in the taskbar as well.

D̶i̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶b̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶o̶d̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶i̶d̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶w̶s̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶a̶b̶ ̶s̶e̶l̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶?̶

Nevermind, I :wink: see the edit. Good.

*Update: I came across this fella that suggested using this below in-place of the *display* option..

Code: Select all

menuitem[label="Browser Tab"] { 
    visibility: collapse !important; 
}
Sounds preferable and supplies the same effect.

I don't wanna seem like a whiner, but this Seamonkey [watchdog's SM2.23] upgraded itself to 2.24 without my consent, and I have problems with the newer version. For one thing, there is no indication that a browser action (Back, Forward, etc) is in progress. (There is a spinning indicator for multiple tabs, but not for a single instance of SM. There is a progress bar on the task bar near sys tray, but it appears only if and when there is a working internet connection and progress is being made.) Today, my internet connection was poor, and without a progress bar or spinning animation, I couldn't tell if anything was happening. In other versions, I have watched the status of the Stop sign, red or grayed out, but this doesn't seem valid in SM 2.24. I guess I can hope that Seamonkey upgrades itself again soon because I can't believe this was an acceptable change.

Stop sign colors are part of the *default* theme.

If the issue persists with twenty-five, disable auto-update and drop back to the original dwnld.

The dread audio/flash crash has returned with SM2.25, but at least it doesn't happen every 4 hours like clockwork. More like 24+ hours, as far as I can tell. Hopefully, the crash is circumstantial or sporadic rather than routine and habitual.

When I click a file, I expect there to be an ephemeral square outline to appear around the icon to indicate the action, but with this version, SM2.25, nothing indicates that an action has occurred.

I get the outline. Still, how folks can run such a heavy browser is beyond me..

How come I don't see the outline? You think if I upgrade gtkdialog I will see the outline? Semme, are you saying you think Seamonkey is too heavy? What do you use? I don't wanna even go on the net if I can't run Adblock to screen out the junk.
