Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I tried to post this in the author's website, but it didn't work for some reason I have no idea of. I can't read his language.

Anyway, i found a problem with this extension when using a skinned firefox. I’m using Firefox 2.0.0.14 and the Noia (eXtreme) skin (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/72), and the button for the Compact Menu is being replaced by a custom icon from the Noia skinset.

The problem is that the icon disappears when hovered, because the skinset defines another icon for its identifier, and this other icon hasn't got the graphics for hovered and selected statutes.

I fixed this by modifying compact.css, and changing:

list-style-image: url(”chrome://compact/skin/blue.png”);

to

list-style-image: url(”chrome://compact/skin/blue.png”) !important;

This way the custom skin doesn’t changes the icon file.

I suppose one could also change the :hover and [open=”true”] properties to push the clip back into the right position, but I like the original icon.

I hope I made myself understood.

"Only" 4 out of 5 because of this minor bug, and the lack of a keyboard shortcut. This aside, just perfect. Kudos to you.

Keep up the good work,
Fabio.
