Firefox 4 Design Mock-Ups Get an Update |
We last looked at what Firefox 4 might look like in July. Since then, Mozilla has started devoting its design efforts to finding a seamless spot for an "application button," offering tab placement choices, and fine-tuning the small things.
Mozilla contributor Stephen Horlander posts some "iterations" of the Windows design mockups for Firefox 4 on his personal blog, and seems to make a point of stating that Firefox 4, not 3.7, is where we'll see a real design change, despite the 3.7 designs we've already seen.
Key among the challenges to a 4.0 design are locating the Firefox application button, presumably holding all the action menus, and finding a comfortable fit for tabs and bookmark bars, however the users want them.
You can read about the other design choices being made, and see more screenshots and ideas, at Horlander's blog. Like what you're seeing? Left wanting more? Tell us all about it in the comments.

Use Windows System Restore to Recover Individual Files |
|
 Windows 7: Windows System Restore has long been a great way to recover your system after a bad software install or a critical driver goes missing, but you may not know you can also use it to recover individual files.
Earlier this month we published a guide to Windows System Restore and now we're highlighting, courtesty of the How-To Geek computer site, how you can use System Restore to restore individual files.
You need to have System Restore on for any drive that you want to be able to restore files on. Once you've turned on System Restore and made a restore point—type "System Restore" in the Start Menu command box to open up the System Restore dialogue to turn things on and make your first restore point if you haven't already—any folder or file on that disk can now be recovered. Right click on the folder the file used to be in or the parent folder if you're trying to restore a deleted sub-folder, then click on "Restore previous versions". The restore menu seen in the screenshot above will appear and you'll be able to select the version of the folder or files you want to restore.
Check out the guide at How-To Geek for lots of pictures and a more thorough step-by-step walk through. Have a neat Windows 7 trick you'd like to share? Let's hear about it in the comments. [How-To Geek]
