大笨狗 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Many user complain about Maxthon's favorites bar, because it is not very flexible. For example, the compact mode of favorites bar is not compact at all. Look at this: 5139 This is a favorites bar in normal mode, it's about 1079 pixels in length. And this is compact mode favorites bar: 5140 It's about 945 pixels. Only 134 pixels shorter. Why compact mode is not compact at all? Because Maxthon implement this feature in the wrong way. It should display only site icons for those favorite items which are not dropdown menu, like this: 5141 It's only 552 pixels, compact enough. Then how can we change that behavior through modifying the default skin? In just 8 steps you can acheive that. (I know you can change the favorite items title to unicode character U+0160 to get the same result, but then all items will have same blank title, which is unsatisfactory.)

7twenty Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Excellent. Love the fact that you take the time to explain and show how to do it, rather than just uploading a skin file. Might inspire some others to look into creating or modding some skin elements themselves instead of always requesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
