It would be great if in furture versions we could "tag" multiple bookmarks
at once, and also be able to change the icons on bookmark folders (such as
how there are custom .ico's for websites that have them) and individual
sites that don't have custom icons. :)

i guess that's 3 features?


1
> "tag" multiple bookmarks at once,

hmm, maybe a bookmark enhancing extension does that? could search
addons.moz.. and mozillazine.


2
> change the icons on bookmark folders
maybe something here:
http://www.google.com/search?q=Base64+%
7C+label+userstyles+icons+bookmark+folders

this looks good: http://userstyles.org/styles/1682
".I'm sure someone can come up with a big image of icons and rectangle them off into
smaller bits..."
i'm pretty sure this refers to

3Aforums.mozillazine.org+image-region+rect+2007+%7C+2008


btw, i've been interested in this goal, but it's kind of lower priority. (so i'm bookmarking
it for an ambitious day of ff userchroming)

> the icons [for] individual sites that don't have custom icons.

assign custom icon to only bookmarks? or also reproduce that icon in the tab of the
webpage?

there's been an extension that can assign (one per bookmark is perhaps tediously,
rather than offer to assign to all bookmarks of that domain?). It worked as claimed
when i tried it briefly, circa 2006. possibly it's been improved or outdone :-)

this looks like it (is oldish, 2005 and 2006)

[quoting:]



..bookmark-item[container="true"][label="FolderName"] {
list-style-image: url('file://F:/Windows/icons/Folder.ico') !important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px 16px 16px 0px) !important;
}

Again change the path and image filename accordingly. Change 'FolderName' to
whatever the name of the particular folder is. Repeat this code throughtout
userChrome.css for each folder you want a favicon for.

Although with this method you would only be able to have unique folder names so
using the rdf id <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264241#c3> would
probably be the best way.




same thing as above, but for live bookmarks rather than folders. That is, replace the
icon of a live bookmark with another icon

comment links to: compact the toolbar:
http://www.peppertop.com/blog/?p=47



i've been using similar compacting styles:
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[type="menu"] > .toolbarbutton-icon {display:none; } /*
get rid of folder waste-space */
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[type="menu"] > .toolbarbutton-text { background-color:
#ffffca; margin : -1px -1px -1px -1px; padding : 0;}
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item:hover > .toolbarbutton-icon { opacity:.5;} /* all bkmk bar
hover */
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[type="menu"]:hover:active > * { background-color:red; }/*
when hover only folder, not Bkmks */
..bookmarks-toolbar-items, #bookmarks-ptf {margin:0 -1.9em 0
-.2em;padding:0;border-width:0;}
..chromeclass-directories {margin:0 -1.4em 0 -.1em;padding:0;border-width:0;}


earlier experiment, with more obvious fake-folder color:
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item[type="menu"] > .toolbarbutton-text { background-
color:yellow;} /* colors text of only folders, not bookmarks */
i think that also doesn't shove the folder name leftard, leaving a yellow area where
folder had been?



i'd experiment with some of these as the only styles, to see the effects.
(also, if not already using, use something like topstylelite or a syntax-coloring text
editor to more easily read the styles.)
