Any way to change the 'whiteout' on the addon bar?

I'm still exploring new features for Firefox's newest update, but I'm having a lot of trouble seeing my addon and bookmarks toolbar now.

I have a red and black theme to help with my colour-blindness (and devastating need for style) but now everything below the tabs is just bleached out, making it difficult to read the messages and generally screwing with my eyes.

I've included a cropped screenshot to try and show what I mean.

I'm viewing this on a 50 and 19 inch television (dual screens, neither help)

Firefox 44 has a semi-opaque white-ish appearance to the main toolbar and corresponding tab when you use a custom theme. Depending on your OS, the size and coloration may vary.

If you use the Classic Theme Restorer extension, one of its toolbar options will clear the translucent background from the toolbar.

If you do not use CTR and don't want to change any other settings, you could consider using a custom style rule. For example: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1106538#answer-836566. See the following screen shot for what that does (on Windows 7, at least).

That looks like an excellent start... but it went right over my head I'm afraid. I have no idea what to do with stylish or that chromething... I can have a stab at it and pootle about to see where I get, but I'm on windoes 8.1 and I remember all kinds of things not working on that :S (much like ten is now haha)

I'd use the classic restorer, but the 'classic' look is actually one I've managed to avoid so far (proudly). I never saw the appeal of moving all the menu items into a drop-down menu that takes up the same space

Thanks for the reply

Just tried it. Copy-and paste the script into Stylish and VOILA!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

It removes the border between the addon bar, tab bar and the menu bar, but to be honest, given the alternative that's pretty acceptable!

What would you want the borders to look like? For example, these are a grayish color:

#TabsToolbar:-moz-lwtheme, 
#nav-bar:-moz-lwtheme {
  border-bottom: 1px solid #999 !important;
}

(The color changes toward white as you change from 9 to a, to b, to c, etc., up to f, and toward black as you change from 9 to 8, to 7, etc. down to 0)

So the colour is in hex? so...

AH! I had a quick play. It looks nice in black XD

  1. TabsToolbar:-moz-lwtheme,
  2. nav-bar:-moz-lwtheme {
 border-bottom: 1px solid #0000000 ;

}

Thank you so much for your help! I never expected such a fast and effective response!
