Default dark theme and Firefox [SOLVED]

Post by paul »

Hello everyone, again. I am sorry for the many posts, but I'm spreading the KXStudio word to my musician friends, and so I want my computer to look perfect!

One of the most annoying things is the clash between the system color combination (KXStudio default, in my case) and Firefox.
In particular, it is quite annoying that in the text input fields, the background is dark while the text is white.

Looking around on the internet, I found how to "fix" that: adding the following lines in the userChrome.css file:

Code: Select all

input {
background-color: white !important;
color: black !important;
}
Now, there is a problem. While it literally makes backgrounds white and texts black, it leaves an *ugly* black border! See the attached picture.

How do I fix that? Does anyone know the userChrome name of that "border"?

Thanks!

Yeah, I have always used Chromium for that very reason.
The problem is that now they are cutting support for some plugins like Java, and it's getting quite annoying.

Solved the problem. I had to add the line:

Code: Select all

border: solid white !important;
Also, the theme "Firefox Carbon" looks very good with the color combination.

I hope this can be useful to everyone!
