Hi, I recently discovered FoxyProxy and it's great, thanks for the cool extension. Just what I needed for my laptop.

Now I configured foxyproxy to show the Proxy name in the status bar, and I click it to enable/disable it.

I'd suggest that the string "FoxyProxy:" be removed, it doesn't really add any information and adds clutter / takes out space. I use quite a few other add-ons, and it gets unnecessarily cluttered down there. Anyone can add the "FoxyProxy:" string to his/her proxy name anyways, if needed.

If the suggestion is taken, the "FoxProxy: Disabled" text would have to change to "No Proxy" or "Direct" or something similar.

Also, when Foxy Proxy is disabled, I'd suggest that the text be displayed in Black instead of Red. Red would mean "warning" or "error condition", and there's really no warning here, at least for most of us, I believe. We know that blue means proxy is on. For usability reasons. Then, "No Proxy" would be in black :)


You may say, why don't I remove the text altogether to have more space: two reasons:
1- I need to see the proxy name.
2- I'm a bit blind and can't see Foxyproxy's statusbar icon at all.


Thanks!!

Hi,

You can make the statusbar text color changes you desire by creating a userChrome.css file with the following contents (read this to learn what userChrome.css is and where to create it).
