I write an app for Elementary OS with Gala. How can I have radius corner on the window?
added by Tasos Feb 1 '15 at 13:43
link
This question doesn't really make sense. You don't write apps "with Gala". Gala is a window manager. Also, window decorations have rounded corners in the default stylesheet so nobody would ever have to do this manually. – Daniel Foré Feb 20 '15 at 4:35
Probably I meant Vala...:P I haven't written one and I took the question from what I have read from G+ and Reddit – Tasos Feb 20 '15 at 7:42

At first glance, this might not seem like a good question but it is going to be asked heavily. I think it'd would be good to have one place where it gets answered in all thoroughness so people and especially elementary people can just link to it and get on with their lives without having to repeat themselves over and over again. – quassy Feb 4 '15 at 18:28

How to customize firefox for elementary?
added by Name is carl Feb 5 '15 at 11:25
link
You can try elementary Firefox (addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/…). With this theme FF integrates nicely into elementary OS. Unfortunately last version is 31 and FF is currently in 35. That means some features introduced since then are missing from theme. – deruser Feb 20 '15 at 23:51
