The Burning Edge points out that you can now search in textboxes and textareas in a webpage when you do a "Find in this page" search. The corresponding bug is bug 58305 and this enhancement appears in builds on and since 2004-03-16. I sorely missed this, especially so because IE does have this feature - some sites use textareas to display code. As...

Looks like Thunderbird is up for a design update with new branding like what happened with the renaming of Firebird to Firefox. Check out the teaser at hicksdesign. Also spotted on that page: You’re in luck. The same folks that made the pinstripe theme for OS X are working on a new theme [for Win32] right now….

Ugh the server hosting this site went down for at least 7 hours today with no news or emails from the hosting company. Even their own site was down. I'm looking at sharing a dedicated server with several online friends, so maybe I'll be rid of these problems and have less downtime.

I wrote a few months ago about skinning WinXP with custom Visual Styles by patching UXTheme.dll. Since then, Belchfire.net reports that a friendlier patching program called Multi-Patcher does what PatchXP does and more. It supports SP1 and non-SP1 systems, and even SP2 (beta version 2082) and Windows Server 2003. Perhaps more importantly, it...

Mozilla Backup is an excellent, excellent tool for making backups of your Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird profiles. Something that should be included in those applications in some similar form or incarnation. That said, I just lost my latest Firefox profile from today's Windows XP clean-up-the-junk-by-reformatting operation, even after I...

I haven't been getting nightly builds recently and I just did so when I noticed at The Burning Edge that 2004-04-11 builds include this new "Add keyword for this search" feature. Now that is so useful because the old way of doing this is so non-intuitive and difficult to explain to non-technical users (who really wants to do the "%s" thing other...

Joseph Pearson of Make Believe has coded a topographic page layout bookmarklet that shows the layout of a webpage. Basically, it recolors the elements of a webpage, giving more deeply nested elements a lighter color. The effect is that you can see the "topography" of a webpage, which makes it that much easier to detect unclosed divs or for those...
