AFAICT, no, which was one of the things I was starting to curse creatively whilst looking for a solution last night. There's a document, the XPTookkit (http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xptoolkit/), with a XUL section, but best as I can tell, it's last updated 30 Jun 1999 (that's three years ago, if you're slow on math). > I browsed around the mozilla.org site for a while but couldn't find > any complete definition of what you can put into the userChrome.css > file.

Since XUL is XML, somewhere there's an XML DTD specification for XUL that should specify all this crap. Fuck if I could tell you where that is. Some of the places I've stopped by in my wanderings. There are a number of links from the main Mozilla.org page, I've followed several in depth with no luck in finding an attribute list including, say, two target elements: 'font-size' and 'menubar'. First, there's a plug for _Essential XUL Programming_ by Bullard, Smith, and Daconta. The table of contents lists "Appendix A: XUL Programmer's Reference", but I don't see anything that looks like an entity reference. http://www.wiley.com/Corporate/Website/Objects/Products/0,9049,89266,00.html http://www.wiley.com/Corporate/Website/Objects/Products/0,9049,1775290,00.html Going to the Mozilla FAQ leads on to "The XPToolkit" http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xptoolkit/ Again, no entity reference. Links point to "Introduction to XUL" http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xptoolkit/xulintro.html http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/index.html Hmmm...stabbing around more-or-less at random, I've stumbled across the CSS2 Specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ ...which includes certain elements such as "font-face" and "font-size". Interestingly, the first example for font-size is specified as points 'pt': http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-size-props So, CSS2 (plus or minus a version) seems to supply the entity attributes for XUL. Next question is: where do we find out what the fuck we can configure? - "A XUL Bestiary" isn't: http://www.mozilla.org/docs/xul/xulnotes/xulnote_beasts.html - The "XUL Widget Cheatsheet" comes close, though it's incomplete (no mention of windows, font-size: http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xptoolkit/ - The "XUL Programmer's Reference" raises the meaning of "content free" to new heights: http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xulref As I've copied a few Moz folk on this, I'd be very interested to know: - Where the DTD and all attributes are defined. - Why this isn't in the documentation. - If there's no comprehensive attributes listing, an explanation of why not. This should be prominantly featured early in the available online XUL docs. > Until I saw your example, I didn't even know that you could specify > font sizes in points! I wung[1] that one, then searched Google and local configs under /usr/lib/mozilla* for various combinations of 'font-size' to see what the points argument was. > The only examples I had seen used "mm" as the unit of measurement. On the one hand, reasonable if your display measures true, OTOH, I'm used to specifying *everything* in points, and have no idea what the corresponding mm measurement is.
