Farlo Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Does anyone know of a good, dark theme for Firefox? All the ones I've found are too "glossy". Something that resembles our forum skin as far as brightness would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechAngel85 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 NASA Night Launch is very clean: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/nasa-night-launch/?src=cb-dl-users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoppingby4now Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I"m using 8 Ultimo (same guy that makes FT DeepDark). It's really good if you like a dark theme and the scrollbar is easy to spot (too many dark themes make the scrollbar almost impossible to see).

I like the NASA one but the buttons are a little too big IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechAngel85 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I used the default theme. I was using a Chrome-based theme until it broke with one of the updates. FF release schedule makes things a bit harder for add-on authors to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though that the addon system suffers and is a downside. Ultimo 8 is working for me, but only because I haven't upgraded yet. I usually wait a week or two to give Kaspersky time to update their addons. As for businesses, they also have a separate ESR cycle version, so they have more time to test newer versions and an extended support cycle. They should be using that version to alleviate the headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far too difficult to see when I have surrounding windows that are bright. I'm switching back to NasaNightLaunch (always my fallback) until 8Ultimo is hopefully updated, or a better dark theme pops up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlo Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I made 8 Ultimo work for Firefox 17 and so far I haven't noticed anything wrong with it. The context menu could use some tweaking but other than that it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
