Add ability to modify the text through preferences (Add-on Manager), and refactor code to use the Add-on SDK.

Hi @evacchi , dunno if you're still going to stick with the text label idea, given the discussion in #1, but... this finally adds the ability to edit the text through a preference system. Much easier than having to go to about:config, and then manually creating the string value or editing it yourself.

I realize this is a major rewrite (only 2 things have stayed the same - the require("chrome") line, and the (very appreciated) fact that the info about how to get at the dock is still there), so just let me know what you think. Thanks.

Sorry - realized that the functionality wasnt totally complete as yet and fixed it.

Excellent work jf!

It is always so nice to see collaboration, one person makes something others improve it!

[jf]

Thanks, @Noitidart . Indeed, I'm very grateful to @evacchi for the work and for making it available and opensource....

[jf]

ping, @evacchi . Can you spare some time to take a look at this? It'll be a quick one.

[evacchi]

sorry man, I've been very busy lately. You have basically rewritten the whole thing, so it seems to me unfair to just merge your pull request. I'd say go ahead and make it your own :) I could link the readme to your repo; but if you really want me to I'll be happy to merge it

[jf]

Thanks, evacchi. If you're busy, I'd like to make it my own then. Can't say that there's anything more to do, but at least I'll be watching over it!

hi, @evacchi, fyi the repo is now up at https://github.com/jf/fosx-label. I want to thank you, truly, for your work, and for showing that this was even possible in the first place! Without you, this would not have been possible....

[evacchi]

I have updated the readme to point to your new version! Nice job and keep it up!

[jf]

Thank you, evacchi! And again, thank you for everything that you've done!

[Noitidart]

@jf you should credit @evacchi in the readme of your repo and the AMO listing. This was purely driven by him. Even my work in Profilist was all due to him. I love your addon name very clever.

[evacchi]

I think jf did credit me enough, so that's ok :)

[Noitidart]

@jf you should merge my work from here to yours - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/os-x-dock-icon-changer/?src=ss

It allows changing the dock icon too.
