Of course, I love this extension. I couldn't have created my feathers without it.

One remaining bug: I had to restart songbird to get the label colours working for .servicepane-toolbar-newitem-button>.clickhold-button .

Sorry is this is the wrong place to discuss bugs...

Interesting. Just for the clickhold button? For everything else, refresh worked fine?

Hmm, thanks Ryan. I’ll look into it this week.

You can post bugs to the Add-Ons component at http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com. I usually put [devtools] in the summary line.
