Well, this is a nasty issue for any dark theme out there because of two
things:
- First, firefox and chrome/ium hard code theme to have their BRAND-LOOK,
as GNOME/SystemD OS does now, to be sure to have their recognizable UI
no matter OS a user might be using. This is started after 4.0 release for
Mozilla
Firefox. I have no clue on Chrome/ium because I do not use any of them.
- Second, some websites force either the background or the forground color
making anything deviating from the standard black on white painful.
So, to solve this, many theme makers/developers follow blindly any BRAND
and waste too much time because one have to waste again and again time
to follow upstream breakages... In this case upstream(s) just decide to go
for more *BRANDY* UI infinitly.
So, a few themes makers compile a lengthy README file for major theme
breakers (namely GNOME/SystemD OS, Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird,
Chrome/ium) to follow and follow each release to recode everything again.
What a waste of time! There's no way I am going that way.
There is no easy fix for this but waste sometimes and try to recode a theme
again as *BRANDY* upstream won't make it easy to choose to go otherwise.
So, if anybody want to contribute to firefox.stylish, or chrome/ium.stylish,
feel free to send patches.
There were this addon for firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gtk-native/
but the developer is burnt out and did not update it since firefox 29.0.
And I do understand why he did not... Just take a look at it to see what one
has to undergo to force Firefox use native gtk theme.
UGLY FIX: one can choose to force system color when it is too painful in
Firefox preferences dialog. No clue on Chrome/ium for this.
