Close/Minimize/Hamburger Buttons overlap

[zilluss]

When Vertical Tabs is enabled, the window buttons overlap the back button see the attached image.

Note by @Croydon: If somebody is still experience this problem, then please either set browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar manually to true in about:config or starting with v0.6.0 use the toggle button in the Vertial Tabs Reloaded preferences in the Firefox add-on mananger. Thank you.

@zilluss Sorry, for not answering "in a while".

If you should still be interested in this addon could you please try it again and check if the config browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is set to false? You can change/see this setting if you are entering about:config in your Firefox and search for the string.

Does it solve the problem?

[Croydon]

Does anybody else have such a problem? If yes, can it be solved for you with browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar set to false?

[xxdavid]

I haven't had this issue since yesterday. That setting fixes it. Thank you for your support. 😃

[Keith94]

Maybe the add-on should automatically set that browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar preference to false when it's first installed? Since having the window controls overlapping is not very desirable.

[Croydon]

@Keith94 That is exactly my plan for the next version. The original add-on was setting this preference to false on every single startup which was quite annoying and undesirable, since it is not always required.

I might also add in further version an option in the settings to easily toggle this preference.

[Croydon]

The v0.5.0 update will set browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar one time to false. In the future it will happen if you install the add-on.

I might also add in a further version an option in the settings to easily toggle this preference.

I would say that setting it by default would be better (was just struggling with it for a bit). Or make it explained very well in the settings.

[Croydon]

@woj-tek It is getting set by default on new installations and when updating to v0.5.0. So it is the default :)

[Croydon]

I have decided to leave this issue open since I am still not happy with this workaround.

[woj-tek]

Hmm, then something did not work as I installed the 0.5.0 fresh and the setting wasn't set, hence my above comment :-)

[woj-tek]

OK, so I've just installed the extension on another machine (this time osx) and had the same problem - had to manually change the browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar...

[Croydon]

@woj-tek What other add-ons do you have installed in these setups?

[woj-tek]

Here's the list... I think I need to clean up this list a bit...

@woj-tek I just retried this with a new profile. No problem there. So my assumption is that one of your other add-ons is resetting the preference. Please forgive me that I don't have the time to test it with all of the add-ons you just mentioned. Maybe you should really try to reduce them :)

[woj-tek]

It's not they are "resetting" the setting (because after the change property sticks) but rather prevent VTR to change it...

anyhow, I'lve cleaned the list a bit, but I think I need to reset Fx profile either way after all this time :-)

[Croydon]

If somebody is still experience this problem, then please either set browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar manually to true in about:config or starting with v0.6.0 use the toggle button in the Vertial Tabs Reloaded preferences in the Firefox add-on mananger. Thank you.

OK, not exactly problem with overlaping controlls, but when using Dark Developer theme (vide https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/devedition-theme-enabler/) and enabling the titlebar it remains white (system colour).
With vertical tabs disabled and drawInTitlebar=false it is simply drew as dark (themed)
