Required Firefox preferences

We provide a user.js configuration file in configuration/user.js that enable some preferences required by this theme to work.

You should already have this file installed if you followed one of the installation methods, but in any case be sure this preferences are enabled under about:config:

• toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets

  This preference is required to load the custom CSS in Firefox, otherwise the theme wouldn't work.

• svg.context-properties.content.enabled

  This preference is required to recolor the icons, otherwise you will get black icons everywhere.

For other non essential preferences checkout configuration/user.js.

Also though is not obligatory, some weird issues might happen if you don't use the Firefox's default/system theme because the theme is never tested against the Firefox's light or dark theme.

Enabling optional features

Optional features can be enabled by creating new boolean preferences in about:config.

1. Go to the about:config page
2. Type the key of the feature you want to enable
3. Set it as a boolean and click on the add button
4. Restart Firefox

Features

• Hide single tab gnomeTheme.hideSingleTab

  Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open.

  Note: You should move the new tab button out of the tabbar or it will be hidden when there is only one tab. You can rearrange the toolbars doing a right-click on any toolbar and selecting "Customize Toolbar…".

• Normal width tabs gnomeTheme.normalWidthTabs

  Use normal width tabs as default Firefox.

• Bookmarks toolbar under tabs gnomeTheme.bookmarksToolbarUnderTabs

  Move Bookmarks toolbar under tabs.

• Symbolic tab icons gnomeTheme.symbolicTabIcons

  Make all tab icons look kinda like symbolic icons.

• Hide WebRTC indicator gnomeTheme.hideWebrtcIndicator

  Hide redundant WebRTC indicator since GNOME provides their own privacy icons in the top right.

• Drag window from headerbar buttons gnomeTheme.dragWindowHeaderbarButtons

  Allow draging the window from headerbar buttons.

  Note: This feature is BUGGED. It can activate the button with unpleasant behavior.
