Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Anyone know how to customize a Firefox/Gnome theme?
Not sure if the button is part of the Gnome theme of the Firefox theme.

The close-tab icon is larger than the tabs. Whenever I point to a tab and the icon appears, the tab bar resizes. It's really getting annoying. I'd like to replace the close button with something smaller. Any pointers?

New Dunno. Maybe try Tab Mix Plus?
Tab Mix Plus is [link|http://tmp.gary.elixant.com/|here].

I looked around in various Chrome directories here (Win2k). It seems like the buttons and skin stuff are buried in the XUL.mfl file (in the default profile directory), but that's just a guess. I have no idea how you'd go about hacking such a thing.

Luck!

Cheers,
Scott.
New Thanks for the pointer
But this is (so far) a minor irritant. If there's not a simple HOWTO posted somewhere, it's going to stay a minor irritant.

New I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I can tell you exactly where to find the files to edit: in the "chrome" subdirectory of your Firefox profile directory (that icon's part of the Firefox theme) will be all the info you need.

\r\n\r\n

The bad news is that you're dealing with the Mozilla theme system, which hasn't changed since the Elder Days. Here's how I'd go about changing that icon:

\r\n\r\n
    \r\n
  1. Open up chrome.rdf, scroll through until you find the entry for the theme you're using.
  2. \r\n
  3. Go to wherever that theme is on the filesystem. It'll be a JAR file. Copy it somewhere where you can work on it.
  4. \r\n
  5. Open up your working copy of the JAR, go into the "global" directory and you'll see a directory called "icons".
  6. \r\n
  7. Look through those for the tab-close icon, which will probably be called "close.png". Change it to whatever you'd like.
  8. \r\n
  9. Pack up the JAR file.
  10. \r\n
  11. Switch to a different theme in Firefox, and uninstall the theme you're using.
  12. \r\n
  13. Restart Firefox.
  14. \r\n
  15. Reinstall the theme from the JAR you made of your edited copy.
  16. \r\n
  17. Restart Firefox.
  18. \r\n
\r\n\r\n

I've not actually done this in a very long time, though, so it might not work.
