More Native Grauw

A Songbird skin that brings back the title bar and native system menus.


More Native



Description

A simple default skin modification that gets rid of Songbird’s default title bar / menu combination, and uses the regular system window and menu style instead.

I’d like to do more in the future (native menu pulldowns, buttons, scroll bars, etc.), but this is it for now.

The buttons get ugly when you hear the radio. Is the only thing bad until now. Hope you fix it.

Another thing. You should turn this into just an extension, not a feather, so we can use it with any other feather.. Thanks.

Hey Sironitomas,

Thanks for your comments. Hmm, I can’t see anything odd with the buttons. I made the skin for Songbird 1.0, maybe you’re using the 1.1 beta? I overwrite two files of the Gonzo style, so if those files changed I need to update them.

With regard to making this a generic extension, I’ll keep it in mind. I’ll have to see how to best approach that…

Yep, Sironitomas, the radio’s buttons thing was indeed because there were skin changes in the 1.1 beta. Now that beta 1.1.1b3 (why the extra .1?) is out and the final release will come soon-ish, I’ve installed it here and updated the skin files.

After restore, when I click the maximize button, the content stays in the restored size, borders get maximized and Songbird starts to eat CPU.

The idea of turn this feather in an extension is great!

Ok, after restart Songbird, the maximize/restore problem disappeared.

I totally agree that making this an extension that could work with any other feather would be awesome -- Songbird looks SO out of place on my Gnome desktop....

This theme is fantastic. Anything to make songbird look more at home on my gnome desktop. I like songbird but it sticks out like a sore thumb. Keep up the good work!

This is great, the native look on Ubuntu is way better than a custom bar. Thanks so much for this!

Excellent extension Grauw, thanks. This is a must have extension for me. I am eagerly looking forward to futures updates with more native things such as menus, scrollbars, buttons, etc.

Hey, this is a great skin!!! I like my Songbird much more that way.

I have one more thing to say:
The Skin seems to have a little bug. On the left side there is a white line between Songbird and the native frame of Windows, right on the changeover, if you know what I mean. The other borders (upper, low and right) look fine. It's just the left border when the window is not on fullscreen. Looks kinda odd.

I'm using the Songbird 1.1.1, Build 1018 on Windows Vista.
Cheers and all the best :)

D'oh, nevermind, it works in 1.2.0, just needed editing and for me to enable it as the default Feather. Here's a working XPI since I appear to be the first one with this problem...

Yeah sorry I didn’t update it, I’ll try to update it for 1.2 soon.

Mhm I should try to find a way to do this that doesn’t need to be updated every release…

Nice.

Could possibly utilize the firefox plugin glasser to add glass to the toolbars.
