[OT] Netscape fonts in locator box - A real solution needed.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've spent several hours today, trying my damndest to learn how to
set the font inside the url locator box on netscape 7.02.  Or a few
other places like menu bar.

Googling my A__ off I found reference to Netscape.ad as a resource
file.  Seems not to be present in my distribution of Netscape-7.02.

Further, no real information as to what might go in it.  I have a
copy of one from an older version on an older (7.3) os. But its
mystifying tring to figure out what any of it does, and none are
clearly font size settings.

I suspect Netscape.ad isn't even the mechanism any more.  
Found more recent reference to using userChrome.css in
.mozilla/*/chrome/ and some example code.  But trying it out I see no
differnces in the browser.  Again its a mystery what they actually
do.   I'm told, a resouce like urlBar??? blah blah*listfonts is the one I
need but `listfonts' doesn't exactly look like a font size setting.

Is there someone here who actually knows how it is done?  What the
resource names mean etc. 

http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
Has some examples and info but again, none of them look to be about
the url locator box.  Further I put the whole script in verbatim and
saw no differnces.

I'm not absolutely sure that the mozilla script is supposed to work
on netscape 7.2 but I think it is. Netscape-7.2 shares ~/.mozilla
with mozilla.

Once again a plea for anyone who actually knows for sure how this is
done?

I'm not running gnome or metacity.  I use xfce4.  So not interested in
settings in gnome-control-panel or whatever.  Surely there is a way to
set this stuff with xresources or some other mechanism known to netscape.
