Style the title of a toolbarbutton?

[John J. Barton]

I have
<toolbarbutton label="context" id="cbContextList"
locationProvider="Chromebug.contextListLocator;"
title="Context:"
tooltiptext="currently selected context"
labeltooltip="fbTooltip" labelcontextmenu="fbContextMenu"/>

and I want to style just the "title", not the rest of the content. If
possible, how?

Something like:

#wrapper-cbContextList > label
{
color: salmonpink;
}

Hmm, I could not get this to work:
#wrapper-cbContextList > label {
color: #FF9933;
}
Got another guess?

I made the assumption that you were attempting to apply the CSS to the
customize toolbar window. Perhaps I guessed wrong. Could you expand on
exactly which window and where you want to apply a style to the "title"
attribute?

The chromebug window, Context toolbar button:

Sorry I have no clue. Until chromebug works in SeaMonkey I can't
investigate the issue. As an aside, why did you use <hbox
id="cbCommandToolbox"> instead of a toolbar?

Also that file appears to suffer from extensively inconsistent
indentation issues.

It doesn't? What fails?

Well I vaguely understand what an hbox is but I have no idea what a
toolbar is. On the other hand the real answer is "I don't know, I just
cribbed the code from somewhere".

Really? Inconsistent with what?

No idea. Nobody has told me that it works in SeaMonkey. I just assumed
that it was purely a Firefox extension.

It's what you normally use to contain toolbarbuttons. Why else are they
called _toolbar_buttons? Because otherwise you'd just use plain old
<button>s if you didn't want to use a toolbar container for some obscure
reason.

I do hope you're not going to tell me you've never read Neil Deakins
extremely excellent and comprehensive tutorial previously at XUL planet
but which now lives on DevMo.

With itself. Id est it is internally inconsistent. Please pick one
indentation style and stick to it. People studying your code will thank
you for it.

Chromebug is a XUL application debugger based on a Firefox addon. dmose
has had success on Thunderbird. There are issues because Chromebug still
relies on some Firefox files and because I only work on Firefox myself.

I don't know what is broken, the hbox seems to work ok?

Well my reading and understanding are not quite as similar as I'd like.

Sorry I'd need an example. It seems ok to me.
