Stratiform 3 News

I know I said we'd have this out 25 days ago (LOL), but I forgot I had exams and assignments due for uni. The important thing is, we have been getting a nice bit of work done now that we are free. Here's some stuff you should / might like to know:

• The UI will be entirely Metro, unless we decide to add the ability to change Stratiform's UI at the last minute (which probably won't happen).
• In FF15, all the button styles will have borders like they always did, except of course the default buttons.
• We finally utilised some attributes that have been available in recent FF versions that allow split menu buttons (like the Greasemonkey button) to function as you would expect. Instead of the entire button being highlighted when you hover over the dropmarker, only the dropmarker section is.
• Tabs on bottom code will be REMOVED, as Mozilla is discontinuing tabs on bottom. We will not be adding it back unless we go crazy and manually add the feature back ourselves (way too much work now - was hard enough back in the FF3.x days when we added a "tabs on top" option).
• The "Rubix" style has been overhauled. It should now be as bug free as any other style. This is partially because we standardised the padding and margins of all the buttons (they are all the same size as the default style).
• The "tab styled buttons" option now allows you to pick certain buttons that you don't want to be styled like tabs, instead of only styling the ones to the left of the tabs. This makes our lives easier as coders and gives you more options to choose from.
• There is a new tabs in titlebar distance slider. It allows you to set how far the tabs will be from the top of your restored window.
• And of course, this upcoming release will be FF15+ compatible ONLY, no backwards compatibility due to all the changed features and whatnot.
