NewsFox

This forum is for sharing and discussing customization of NewsFox.

Since version 0.7, the file textview.css in the newsfox folder in your profile folder has allowed customization of the view-pane of NewsFox. An explanation is here. The feature was improved in version 0.8.1.

Since version 0.8.2, image files placed in the images subfolder of the newsfox folder have been able to replace skin image files. With version 1.0, it is also possible to replace mail.png and encl-*.png as well.

In version 1.0, the file newsfox.css in the newsfox folder will be a global stylesheet. In particular, it will apply to NewsFox. Previously, some people have used stylish(Firefox extension) to style NewsFox. It is now much easier. Since the file is a global CSS file it is a good idea to put @-moz-document url("chrome://newsfox/content/newsfox.xul") { /* CSS goes here */ } around your CSS.

There will be a post to the feed describing the feature.

The current NewsFox developers are more into function than style. If there are some good styles here, maybe one will become the default NewsFox style.

The first attachment on forum posts becomes an enclosure in the feed post, so use judgement as to which attachment to put first.

Possible attachments:
-screenshot
-zip(7z, gz, ...) file containing newsfox.css, textview.css, image folder
-newsfox.css
-textview.css

I have attached a screenshot(first, so users can see if it is interesting) and a zip file with a newsfox.css, textview.css, and image folder. This is mostly just to indicate some of the possibilities - my setup doesn't look anything like this. Neither of the images in the image folder are used by the style or NewsFox - they are just as an example. I do use two images in newsfox.css(which are the two enclosed images), but they are enclosed in the CSS file itself by making them data URIs (see http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/cgi/data/data for example).
