How do I set the appearance of the Caption buttons?

more options

I like the look of the caption buttons (minimize, maximize, close) while in full screen mode. I would like to know if it is possible to engage this look at all time (i.e. (id est) have the small caption buttons display while not in full screen mode).

Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and choose: [X] "Use Small Icons"

I tried that but it did not effect the minimize, maximize, close buttons.

You can try to add code like this to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

#titlebar-buttonbox .titlebar-button {
 height: 16px !important;
 width: 16px !important;
}

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

I have done that, and I have the information to alter it appearance, but I don't want to write a long style that modify the caption buttons in several ways.

I think that if someone knew exactly how the switch to full screen affected the caption buttons, whether it's a script or a change in images, than that person should be able to give a simple config trick to Firefox.

This extension will do the trick but if someone finds a way to do it without an extension, please post here!
