    Wondering if there's a tweak I can use...
    « on: September 30, 2008, 03:44:42 PM »
    Ok, I hope this is in the right place because it's fairly random. Before I start, this is not important in any way shape or form  ::)

    We all know the small dotted line box that appear when we click a linked picture, well I've been playing more and more browser based games where I get to see one every half a second!

    I'm was thinking, wouldn't it look much cooler and sleeker if I could get rid of the box?

    I've used all the beneficial tweaks on the net (I have a Vista that's actually an XP), but I wouldn't even know what to search to find out how to remove that annoying box...

    Anyone know how, or have an ideas?

    I have a solution for Firefox.

    Are you using Mozilla Firefox or another Internet Browser?

      Ok.

      Step 1:
      Install this addon, Stylish:
      https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2108

      Step 2:
      When you Restart Firefox, there should be a small icon in your status bar (the bottom bar in Firefox). It looks like a piece of paper and a paintbrush.
      Right Click on it, go to Write Style and click on Blank Style.

      Step 3:
      Give it a name in the Description Box and in the larger text box, copy and paste the following code:
      Code: [Select]
      a {
          outline: none;
      }

      Step 4:
      Save it and the dotted line should have been eliminated. :)
      (To disable this new script, Right Click the Stylish Icon, go to Global Styles and click on the script to uncheck it)

        There is another way to do it.
        In FF address bar, put:
        about:config
        Hit Enter.
        In "Filter" box, put:
        browser.display.focus_ring_width
        Click "Show all".
        Change the value to 0.

        I found that, tried it, but it didn't work.  ???
