by Firefox user 12520203, 7 years agoThank you for developing this.
As for recommendations:
1. Have different colors for completed downloads and in progress downloads (and give us the option to select the colors if possible).
2. Have the option to reduce text size or make it so that all of the text for a download is not allows displayed. I like when the bar is small at the bottom. When an item is downloaded with a long name, the bar expands to fit all of the download file's name. When this happens, it is kind of annoying.
Some features of the old status bar that I would like to see (if possible):
1. Double click opens the file directly. I read your response to another user, if you are able to figure out how to do this, it would be very useful.
2. Hovering over a completed picture download shows a preview of the file. Most of my downloads are picture files, so I am not sure how the download status bar used to work with other files, but, with picture files, it would display a small preview of the picture above status bar. This is useful for finding the correct downloaded file when the file names are not descriptive.
I am sure there other minor things that I can't think of right now or didn't notice, but I don't care about those right now. I am just happy that there is a working add-on that displays the downloads on the main screen. Thank you very much! You are awesome!
