TWEAK: Nicer Firefox form widgets

[FrzzMan]

Well, I follow this guide and decided to tweak it a lil bit, so the credit should goes to ubuntu-geek rather than me.

This tweak enhance the button look (shrink it a bit), replace the missing "ring" of checked radio option, and fix the text-cut-off problem (describe here)

Step-by-step howto:

1. Download attached file to your Desktop
2. Open the CLI (Applications > System Tools > Terminal)
3. [cd /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/]
4. [tar xvzf ~/Desktop/firefox-form-widgets-fixed.tar.gz .]
5. Delete the file if you want

Have fun...

PS: This tweak is safe, just in case you want to uninstall the tweak, back up the /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/res/ directory somewhere and cp it back as needed.

EDIT: Nothing is change, you don't have to re-download the package.

Yeah... preferrably before AND after.

I haven't looked at this file, but in general Firefox is highly customizable with regard to its on-screen widgets. Under /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/res are bits that go into rendering stuff on screen. This file probably just replaces/adds a few and includes a platform-forms.css file to describe their usage. You can easily edit platform-forms.css to your liking if you grok CSS.

Here's a link to another "forms enhancer" for Firefox:
