 |
|
Putting the Cancel button before the Ok button frustrates me to no end. I went hunting, and found a "fix" that reverses the order of that line in all the dialogs. If someone finds a better way, please let me know. The only problem I have found with this is if there is a checkbox on the same line as the buttons, the checkbox comes after the cancel button (not a big deal).
Put the following in your userChrome.css
| Code: | .dialog-button-box { -moz-box-direction: reverse; -moz-box-pack: right; }
.dialog-button-box spacer { display: none !important; }
|
If you dont know where to put it, search for "userChrome-example.css". There should be a place in your Firefox directory, and also in "~/.phoenix"
Hope this helps someone. |

Hadn't really noticed it, but I have changed it now, and it is better, so thanks for the info.

| I heard they did it on purpose. It really pissed me off though. I pressed cancel so many times by accident. |

when i was looking for a fix.. i read multiple places that it was done only on linux to keep compatibility with GTK.. in that GNOME development wants you to put the ok button always on the bottom right.
Personally .. i think they are nuts and should be beat for not making it easier to put back to reverse. Then again, firefox has so many stupid design decisions like that, I am not surprised.
Glad you guys found this useful. |

Hey, thanks man - I was stupid to look for this at the mozilla site.
Btw - it's not a bug in their eyes - they say it's the default buttons order for gnome and they compile it with a library that doesn't differentiate between gtk1 and gtk2. |
