### A modern Firefox CSS Theme
Firefox with blurredfox CSS theme
## Requirements
+ The latest Firefox
+ Compositor with blur shader (optional)
+ Linux machine - untested on macOS and Windows 10 - might work though (optional)
## How to
### Quick install for the linux lads
1. Run the script below. If you are using a different build like nightly, beta, etc., make sure to replace the 'stable' with the Firefox Build you are using. If leave empty, it will default to stable.
+ stable - Firefox Stable Build
+ dev - Firefox Developer Edition
+ beta - Firefox Beta
+ nightly - Firefox Nightly
+ esr - Firefox Extended Support Release
```
# Stable build's profile
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manilarome/blurredfox/script/install.sh |
bash -s -- stable
# Nightly build's profile
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manilarome/blurredfox/script/install.sh |
bash -s -- nightly
```
2. After the confirmation message that the theme is successfully installed, open firefox. Change the colorscheme by **`Open Menu > Customize > Change colorscheme`**.
#### Installation notes:
+ If you have a multiple firefox builds, the script will still run without a problem. Just make sure to pass your target firefox build.
+ If you or your firefox build have a multiple profile, the script will return an error! Make sure you only have one!
+ It is advisible to check the script first before running it.
+ You need `bash` to run it.
+ If you have an existing chrome folder, the script will make a backup of it in your profile directory.
+ If the installation script is not working, feel free to submit an issue or a pull request.
### Manual Installation
1. Open `about:config` page.
2. A dialog will warn you, but ignore it, ~~just do it~~ press the `I accept the risk!` button.
3. Search for these:
+ **`toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets`**
+ **`layers.acceleration.force-enabled`**
+ **`gfx.webrender.all`**
+ **`gfx.webrender.enabled`**
+ **`layout.css.backdrop-filter.enabled`**
+ **`svg.context-properties.content.enabled`**
Then make sure to **enable them all!**
4. Go to your Firefox profile.
+ Linux - `$HOME/.mozilla/firefox/XXXXXXX.default-XXXXXX/`.
+ Windows 10 - `C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXX.default-XXXXXX`.
+ macOS - `Users//Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/XXXXXXX.default-XXXXXXX`.
5. Create a folder and name it **`chrome`**, then assuming that you already have cloned this repo, just copy the theme to `chrome` folder.
6. Restart Firefox.
7. Finally, you can now change whatever colorscheme you want in the Cusomization Window.
+ Default - Uses system colors, but uses the theme's layout.
+ Dark - Dark colorscheme. Good for the night.
+ Light - Bright colorscheme. Good for killing the eyes.
### Uninstall
1. Go to your profile directory.
2. Delete the `chrome` folder.
3. If you used the installation script, you can also delete the `user.js` inside your profile directory.
## Note
### Some UI are broken!
1. Check if you're using the latest version of Firefox.
2. If you're not using Linux check the next note below.
### If you're using Windows or macOS and something's wrong
1. I only have Archlinux, so I cannot guarantee that it will work on Windows 10 and macOS without a problem. A feedback and a PR is absolutely welcome! All you can do or try is to install the theme, then change the value of `--bf-moz-appearance` variable to either `-moz-win-glass` if Windows 10 and `-moz-mac-vibrancy-dark` if macOS. Still, do not expect that it will work without a problem. The theme's untested on these platforms!
### Liar! Your theme's name is `blurredfox`, ***where is the blur***?!
1. Yeah, the name `blurredfox` is a lie, just like the cake. I named it blurredfox because it's designed to look gorgeous with a blur effect. You can, however, have the blur effect by:
+ Making sure you have a compositor and it supports blur.
+ If you're not using GNOME or KDE Plasma that has its own compositors, use tryone144's [feature/dual_kawase](https://github.com/tryone144/picom/tree/feature/dual_kawase) branch of picom. It includes the dual kawase shader.
+ GNOME's compositor, mutter, doesn't support blur. Hey, GNOME devs, it's already 2020. Just kidding!
+ If you're using KDE Plasma, read the next note below.
### I'm using KDE Plasma, but there's no blur! How many other lies have I been told by the council?
1. Enable the blur in your compositor. Go to `System Settings > Desktop Effects > Enable Blur`. Note that this will not enable the blur effect on all applications.
2. Enable the blur effect on all applications by installing a KWin script called [Force Blur](https://store.kde.org/p/1294604/). Make sure to read its manual. Don't you ever dare to create an issue about Force Blur! Just kidding! But yeah, I'm serious.
3. Go to `System Settings > KWin Scripts > Enable Force Blur`.
4. Change its settings. If there's no settings/settings icon, Logout. Re-login.
### Where is the scrollbar?
1. You can adjust the value of `scrollbar-width` in `userContent.css`.
2. Restart Firefox.
### I hate the colors! Why is everything transparent?!
1. You can change the colors in `userChrome.css`.
2. The transparency is only applied to `Dark` and `Light` colorschemes. `No transparency == No blur`.
### How can I set or change the colors for the Default colorscheme?
1. The default colorscheme are from Firefox and it uses the system colors. Although I only tried and tested it with `GTK3`, it should work with any platforms or environment as long as Firefox can detect your system colors. So all you can do is to switch theme to change its colorscheme.
