How to enable dark mode only in toolbars?

[blenkarnie]

Hi,
Somehow managed to change my toolbars to white accidentally. I don't want dark mode on the rest of the screen only the toolbars. How do I reset this? Thank you.

That seems to be governed invariably by a theme. Show Add-ons and Themes (ctl+shft+a) and select Themes in the left panel.

Thank you xanthon. Unfortunatly it is not a theme issue and I did look at all the themes. It is a firefox intervention that changed only the top toolbar from black to white.

Does the same thing occur if you start the program in Mozilla Troubleshoot Mode?

Thank you again xanthon, I'll just put that on hold until I see my computer engineer, he tells me its an unintended consequence of clumsy firefox programming meddling and he will sort it out next visit.

Its above my tech comprehension to do this but I think this might be what my computer engineer is going to do to solve the issue:

I wanted to see how it would look so I tried it but I end up with the whole page dark so I switched back. I would like to see what the toolbar would look like dark but not the main part of the page.

If you create a userChrome.css file, this code will darken the toolbars.

Code: Select all

* Toolbar background and text color */

   .browser-toolbar
     { background-color: #000 !important;
       color: #ddd !important; }

Thank you I will give that a try.

Mine were black and my page white but overnight firefox did some intervention. Can't understand why the toolbar color is not in the toolbar menu or even in the Themes list. Really looks bad when viewing a page now with the glaring white, already too large upper toolbars.

Thanks limp, but I don't have Chrome and don't ever want it.

Do not get confused about 'Chrome' in the userChrome.css filname.
This has nothing to do with Google Chrome and this file existed long ago before GC got released.
