What to do now ?
You are putting it in the wrong place, not under the program's directory
but under your profile.
Should go here:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[RANDOM].default\chrome
NOTE 1: Your profile directory will be uniquely names some 8 character
random name plus ".default"
NOTE 2: The chrome subdirectory may not be present. Just create and put
userChrome.css chrome there.
OK...I DO NOT HAVE any c:/Mozilla.org for SeaMonkey !
AS Paul said, nor should you.
nor can I find a ----->
"%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\[RANDOM].default\chrome "
This used business computer came with Win 7 Prof and Firefox for $280.
Are you asking about Firefox or SeaMonkey? Firefox has nothing to do
with this, don't confuse yourself more.
There is a Mozilla Firefox Directory on programs (x86) and also a
Mozilla Maintenance sub-directory on (C:) =- but NO Mozilla.org !
I didn't want to use FireFox.
I also have a programs(x86) AND a C:/Programs !!!!! WHAT is THAT all
about ?
Because newer Windows now is 64-bit so 64-bit applications are installed
under "C:\Program Files" and 32-bit applications are installed under
"C:\Program Files (x86)"
I downloaded SM 2.46 and loaded THAT about a week ago and now I have a
C:/SeaMonkey subdir -
Well that's non-standard. Should be installed by default "C:\Program
Files (x86)\SeaMonkey" But regardless of whatever odd place where you
installed the application the userChrome.css file does not go under the
application's path but under *your user profile path*.
SO - where DO I put this userChrome.css ON MY SYSTEM !? My system
apparently does not have the setup you specify.....
Yes, you are just not following my instructions correctly. You have to
navigate to a hidden directory under your profile. The easiest way to
get there is by using the environmental variable %APPDATA%
Okay follow these steps:
1) WinKey+R in run box put following line, use copy 'n paste:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\
2) Windows Explorer will open to that directory. Now double-click on the
subdirectory, it will be some 8 random characters with suffix ".default"
3) Look for the "chrome" subdirectory, If there isn't one create one.
4) Double-click on "chrome" to enter subdirectory.
5) Put your userChrome.css file there.
6) Start SeaMonkey.
Step #1 above works only if profile folders are installed in the default
location. My profiles are NOT. To find a profile folder:
1. Go to SeaMonkey menu bar and select [Help > Troubleshooting
Information].
2. On the Troubleshooting Information window, under Application Basics,
select the Show Folder button to the right of Profile Folder.
David and Doctor Bill, I also like to put my Programs (H:\) and Profiles
(G\:) WHERE I WANT THEM rather than letting Windows7 or Linux put them
where it wants.
When I need to locate my Profile, in SeaMonkey, I select "Server
Settings" on the Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings screen and look
for where the "Local directory" is pointing. (Note: on the Edit->Mail &
Newsgroup Account Settings screen *NOT* the Edit->Preferences->Mail &
Newsgroups screen!!)
That tells me EXACTLY where to look for my Profile .... I think!!
