Project Name

Bug 515648 - Customizable Gloda Searchbar

Project Description

This project involves adding the functionality for users to customize the width of their searchbar in Mozilla's Thunderbird. Unlike Firefox and Postbox, Thunderbird has not yet added this benefit. For example, this would allow the searchbar to be more visible to the user or allow the user to have additional buttons on their toolbar.

0.1 Release: A new function, UpdateSpringSplitterState(), is added to the msgMail3PaneWindow.js and mailCore.js. This function is added to the msgMail3PaneWindow.js, for when the Thunderbird application starts up, it must configure the toolbar depending on if the searchbar is present or not. If the searchbar is present, UpdateSpringSplitterState() will check if a splitter and a toolbarspring is present. If the searchbar is not present, UpdateSpringSplitterState() will remove any default splitter in the toolbar. The mailCore.js' UpdateSpringSplitterState() is called in a function for when the user opens the Customize Toolbar window. If any changes are made to the toolbar, it must check if the searchbar is present or not, and so forth.


Problem: Unable to get my UpdateSpringSearchSplitter() to work correctly, because the splitter.css file that the XUL Splitter element references to was not being changed with my new changes.
