I'm programming a firefox addon and using a panel to display info on a video, everything works fine althought I can't make the panel transparent. I define the panel styling in the html file as follow:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<style type="text/css" media="all">
html
{
opacity:0.1;
border-style:none;
resize:none;
}
textarea
{
background-color:transparent;
resize: none;
border-style:none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<textarea id="text" readonly=true rows="3" cols="60"></textarea>
</panel>
</body>
</html>
Except the panel is not transparent only the text area is. I tried with:
opacity:1
for textarea
It doesn't work either way. What am I doing wrong? Is this even possible?
From what I understand :
html
{
opacity:0.1;
border-style:none;
resize:none;
}
only applies to the panel content not to the panel itself. I found a post on this subject but it is outdated since the sdk/panel.js mentionned in the post is not the same anymore.
Anyway I tried downloading the panel.js and replacing the current one, but it doesn't seem to affect the panel I display at all. The panel is still white and the border-radius
option does not work either. (I should say that I replaced all the "./" with "sdk/" as mentionned in that post).
Ok here is a pure addon sdk solution:
let myPanel = Panel({
width: 180,
height: 180,
contentURL: 'data:text/html,<textarea style="width:120px; height:80px;">this is my textarea</textarea>'
})
let { getActiveView }=require("sdk/view/core");
getActiveView(myPanel).setAttribute("noautohide", true);
getActiveView(myPanel).setAttribute("level", 'top');
getActiveView(myPanel).setAttribute("style", 'background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);');
You can't style the panel provided in the SDK, only the content but you can definitely follow the procedure you mention and provide your modified panel.
