I hope that one day you change your mind. Only a few things are
holding me back from a permanent switch to faster sleeker Chrome
goodness right now and Moji is one of them.

Looks good and the alert is no more there. Well done. The text in the
descriptions is tiny on Windows XP, but it's not a problem, it's not
important anyway.

O.K. I have rearranged the contents of the options tabs similar to what
you have suggested. The updated XPI should be available again from:

It should look O.K. on OSX, Windows, and Linux. I am still working on
how to use all available space for the kanji options depending on the

Sorry, it should applied to 0.96, not on top of the first one. I have
uploaded both files: [link] .
prefs.js is unchanged from the first patch.

Maybe later, I can only test on Windows XP and Windows 7 and it looks
good enough for me. The tab names should also be made shorter e.g.

I currently don't have a version to which I could apply the patch.
Please upload the two prefs files instead. These I can quickly replace...
I can see in the patch that you still set the width to the tabbox. I

Here's another patch for the options dialog: [link]
. It should be applied on top of the first. It only changes prefs.xul.
The dialog now has only 4 tabs is even smaller, same size as the FF
dialog. It is logically organized: "general", "dictionaries", "kanji

Not on OSX. The standard tab font size is larger. FF uses a much smaller
font for the top icon tab texts.
All those things have nothing to do with nested tabs. The layout on PC
did not look so good because of fixed widths/heights. I'll deal with
these problems.
Firefox runs on Windows, OSX, Linux, and others. I have to make sure

I guess that's because the tab names are too long, at least in the
German version, that I'm using. You can just make them shorter. I
think the font size of the tab names is the same in FF and in Moji.

I won't argue anymore, but it really looks ugly on my PC. Like I said
text overflows and there's wasted space, and you see to little of the

1. Then we have to use smaller fonts for the tab texts. 5 Moji tabs
require much more width then 7 Firefox tabs with small fonts and icons.
2. Firefox uses nested tabs on the Advanced tab.
That does not really apply here. It is regarding a completely different
case in a different scenario. The nested tabs make perfect sense here.

zorkz...@hotmail.com (Zorkzero) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:28:24 UT

Moji has only 5 tabs, Firefox has 7 and they are not nested.

Maybe it is better to ask a usabily expert. Quote from

big no-no when it comes to PC interface design. Anyone who has taken
any basic college level class on interface design should know that

I don't agree with you that nesting tabs are confusing. The grouping is
fully clear. One is for word dictionaries, the other for kanji
dictionaries. I always found the 5 tabs with two tabs for word dicts and
two for kanji dict not very good.
If you use 5 tabs the width of the window is defined by the size of the

I have tested it and it works, but I don't like it at all, sorry. I
like my version *much* better. Nested tabs are confusing, the width of
the dialog is too small, so some text overflows. The height of the
kanji options is now only 150px. This is too small and there is a lot
of unused space under it. Now you have to scroll a lot more. There's
