[highlight]Only works for Firefox. Sorry.[/highlight]
Hey, guys. Do you want your FP to look like this?

Don't lie, you know you do. Luckily for you, I've made it possible. Here's what you will need:
[LIST]
[*]Newest version of Firefox
[*]Stylish add-on ([url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108[/url])
[*]Windows Vista or better with Aero support
[/LIST]
After you have Stylish, go [URL="http://userstyles.org/styles/29284"]here[/URL] and download that, along with the other things in the description. Once they've been downloaded, click the Stylish button in the bottom corner of your browser and click "Turn all styles on". It'll probably freak out for a minute and freeze, but just wait. After you can click again, restart Firefox and go to FP. Gaze in awe. :science:
***Note: It is fully functional on FP. Embedding works as well.***

Do note that this IS a beta. Here's a list of known issues:
[LIST]
[*][b]Other websites look fucked up.[/b] (Fixing)
[*]Navigation bar doesn't work (must hit F5 to refresh, etc.)
[*]Minor issue: Certain BB Codes don't work (highlight, etc.)
[*]Minor issue: Some icons have outlines.
[*]Minor issue: Your posts are not tinted yellow. (Fixing)
[/LIST]
That's about it, so far. Please, try it out. This is my first time attempting to build a CSS sheet so there's bound to be room for improvement. Enjoy. Yay for first beta. :toot:
Two more things.
1) To turn off Stylish, right click the icon and click "Turn all styles off", restart FF.
2) Do not have FF open in front of bright backgrounds when it's transparent, it will hurt your eyes.
I would assume this is obvious, but the bird is my background.
I don't see the point in exploiting DWM to cover any/everything. It's impractical.
Won't this only work if your background if black? If you have a white background, then you're basically screwed.
Cool concept
Kind of unpractical though, with the desktop colors and all

There's a drop shadow for that.

Don't see the drop shadow on all text.

Don't really care anyways, I think it looks shit

You can change the text color either through the CSS sheet or through Firefox. I prefer to keep it white because of my background.
Get this for Chrome and I'll be interested in it.
Due to DWM using black as it's default rendering color, wouldn't this also mess up videos/images that contained black?

Nope. It doesn't touch the video or images, I made sure to avoid that.
I think it's kinda cool.
[QUOTE=Abstrakt;21750420]Get this for Chrome and I'll be interested in it.[/QUOTE]
Chrome has userscript support built in, iirc, but I think it's jvs files and while it could in theory work, the browser itself wouldn't be transparent and it would look like ass.
[QUOTE=Zinayzen;21750476]...the browser itself wouldn't be transparent and it would look like ass.[/QUOTE]
Why not? Calling DWMExtendFrameIntoClientArea() with a -1 rect would make the whole window composited. I don't see why it wouldn't be transparent and look like ass.

On the page for the script that makes everything transparent it says not to save it as a jvs script. I have no idea how to call DWMExtendFrameIntoClientArea(), but I knew about it and that was originally my idea before I figured out how to do it this way. If it works, then awesome. But seriously, who uses Chrome?
I use Chrome. 10% of people use Chrome. And it's quickly rising.

There's no use in trying to point out that 10% of people use Chrome. He's just going to whine and say "This was made for FireFox. But But But... It was made for FireFox" and other shit like that.
It's not a great theme either. I have an issue with the fonts, nothing is transparent.

You can change the font type, size, and colors in the code. And it's as transparent as I can make it. You realize the bird is my background, right?
Oh snap, you use webCT too? What school do you go to?
Didn't even work for me.
[QUOTE=Mr.Hoff;21750766]Oh snap, you use webCT too? What school do you go to?[/QUOTE]
UCSD. Most schools use WebCT, though.
That would give me a headache after awhile, and honestly it'll just be hard to see the posts and stuff.
Organise those bookmarks in the bookmarks toolbar into folders.
Glass isn't meant as a background for primary content, it's meant to demphasise things.
Otherwise it's incredibly ugly and tacky.
I don't want to change my background so I can read what facepunchers say.
This looks cool but i'm on XP
i think this looks better:

the webpage looks cool, but those black parts of firefox ruin it.
also a V with a reflexion looks like an X
Looks interesting.
Not going to use it though since I'm on XP.
