I wish to change the menu bar "Print" icon-is this possible??

Hi Folks, I've been a Firefox user/fan for several years now, and with my theme the dark gray "Print" icon in my Menu Bar just doesn't show up well. How can I create a substitute and then replace the original? While I'm asking... is there any way to create a "Print Preview" icon and how/where would I create the link for it?? MANY thanks in advance..... Mark

Hi,

Try this add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/universal-print/ it uses its own icon with color which should be better visible then the default dark grey print button.

Hello,

In order to better assist you with your issue please provide us with a screenshot. If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.

In case you didn't notice, the print button now does a print preview instead of directly opening the print dialog.

Thank you!

Something else to consider, not wasting precious toolbar real estate with the Print button, and an additional Preview button.

Adds a contextual menu item for Print > Print + Print Preview + Page Setup.
