Highlighted toolbar customization

This site has changed hosts. This is the old host. You're reaching this host because your DNS has not been updated. Don't worry, it'll update itself automatically, probably in less than 24 hours. Until then, you can use the old host all you like, just don't bother posting comments or styles, because they won't make it to the new host. You'll know you're on the new host when you no longer see this ugly message :)

This gives a light green background to toolbar and palette items when you mouse over them in customize mode, making things a bit clearer. There's also a google groups posting on possibly getting this into Firefox: http://tinyurl.com/pwbdw

I really wonder why this wasn't built into Firefox...this makes dragging toolbar buttons around less of a pain.
@TARO:
Nice mod, it gave me a great idea to mod mine. However
toolbarpaletteitem[place="palette"]{
border: solid 1px transparent !important;
}
would work better. And you could put
margin:-1px !important;
and it would still bring out the same effect.

Awesome style. I'm use it with multicolumn style for customization window.

I put my modified userstyle :
/* green bg for toolbar and palette items */
toolbarpaletteitem[place="toolbar"]:hover,
toolbarpaletteitem[place="palette"]:hover {
background-color: #FFFFCC !important;
border: dashed 1px black !important;
margin:-1px -1px -1px -1px !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
toolbarpaletteitem[place="palette"]{
border: solid 1px white !important;
}

I use Metal Lion - Vista as my theme, so I changed the green background to white. Works great! Thanks for the code!

"Thank to this, I can finally remove seperators without accidently dragging other buttons off of the UI." Yes, yes that is awesome. I sadly always wondered if that was a common problem or if I just had retared mouse skills.

This is great! This will definitely be added to my list of "must-haves" for all of my firefox profiles in the future. :)
