Requirements

  • Latest stable Firefox
  • Compositor with blur shader (optional)
  • Linux machine - untested on macOS and Windows10 - might work though

How to

Quick install for the linux lads

  1. Run:
$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manilarome/blurredfox/master/install.sh)"
  1. After the confirmation message that the theme is successfully installed, open firefox. Change colorscheme by Open Menu > Customize > Change Colorscheme.

Installation notes:

  • It is advisible to check the script first before running it.
  • You need bash to run it.
  • The script will fail if you have multiple profile directory! Make sure you only have one!
  • If you have a current chrome folder in your profile directory, the script will make a backup.
  • If the installation script is not working, a PR is welcome!

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\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\XXXXXXX.default-XXXXXX.
    • macOS - Users/<USERNAME>/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.

Note

Some UI are broken!

  1. Check if you're using the latest stable 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 and -moz-mac-vibrancy-dark if macOS. Still, do no expect that it will work without a problem. The platforms are untested!

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 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. 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.
