Wing Firefox - Followup

Update: The complete "Enigma" suite is now available.

I went back and tweaked my Firefox setup just a bit more, after hearing some good ideas in the comments of the last one.

 

Most significantly, I ditched Tiny Menu for Personal Menu, which basically does the same thing and more. The icon isn't quite as pretty as TM's globe button, but that's a small price to pay for the following:

 

- Hidden bookmarks toolbar. PM auto-hides the topmost toolbar; you can press Alt to toggle it. I simply moved my bookmarks into the menu bar; they're now easy to access, which is the whole point of the bookmarks toolbar, but I don't have to look at them. It's nice to have the chrome reduced to a single bar.

 

- Removed status bar. Again, courtesy of PM.

 

- Removed search bar. On Nabeel's suggestion, I re-added all of my search engines as bookmarklets. To search Google, for example, I just type "g [search text]"; for Wikipedia, "w [search text]". It'll take some getting used to, but it's already working pretty well, and it's definitely worth excising the extra bar, especially if I can get them working in Ubiquity.

 

As for the Rainmeter bar on the bottom of the screen: I guess I should have known people would be almost more interested in that than the Firefox stuff. I've put together a big ZIP file that contains 1) the "Enigma" and "Arcs" Samurize configs, 2) the latest "Enigma" theme in Rainmeter, with both sidebar and mock-taskbar widgets, and 3) my custom styles for CD Art Display. I'll upload that for you and post it here tomorrow afternoon.

 

Cheers, and questions welcome.
